Difficulties

Posted on August 8, 2020 by

I Did It

Posted on August 7, 2020 by

And they didn’t hurt at all! This is the shoulder of the vest. The little line is the picked up stitches. The little bumps are the German Short Rows. I’m thinking with blocking this will all be less visible. I … Continue reading →

An Assortment Of Things

Posted on August 6, 2020 by

Guess who needs to be groomed? It’s on my list. Guess who pulled a plate of chocolate cake off the dining room table? He was caught before he could get through the plastic. Guess who felt no guilt and was … Continue reading →

I’m Kind Of Confused

Posted on August 3, 2020 by

I finished the first set of instructions and got a measurement. I’m close but off. Not a huge amount. Close enough to keep going. Far enough away to awaken that nagging voice in my head that doubts. Next I start … Continue reading →

And So It Begins

Posted on August 2, 2020 by

I’m sure I must be one of the worst knitters as far as rule breaking is concerned. I pretty much never knit a gauge swatch unless I really think I’m going to run into trouble. I rarely read through a … Continue reading →

August Camp Loopy

Posted on August 1, 2020 by

I’ve got everything ready to go and I’ll be casting on my Stockholm Slipover today. I could have done a gauge swatch ahead of time but I didn’t. I’m thinking I’ll just cast on the size that I think will … Continue reading →

FO On Wednesday: July Camp Loopy Project

Posted on July 29, 2020 by

In keeping with tradition, here is a lousy quality photo of my completed Syyslaulu shawl. One day I’ll get a good photo probably once I get a good nights sleep. I’m operating at a serious deficit today. The pattern is … Continue reading →

A Sneak Peek

Posted on July 28, 2020 by

Four More Rows

Posted on July 26, 2020 by

I have 3 more rows and the bind off. I won’t get to them today. Just like I didn’t get to them yesterday. My other hobby is interfering with my primary hobby. It’s Pokemon Go GoFest weekend. I spent yesterday … Continue reading →
