So yeah...it's been a while hasn't it? I've been so caught up in building my Ravelry account and the holidays and other stuff that I really haven't had LJ top of mind ( Read more... )

Sweater is done, sleeves are in. Now I'm stalled at what to do with the buttons. Also, I'm thinking that I need to seam the bottom three inches in a little bit more. With the shaping the way it is now, it looks like a damn peplum ( Read more... )

After sucessfully repairing that wayward sleeve cap and re-attaching the sleeves using the backstitch method, I tried on my loverly sweater only to discover that the darned thing won't really fit over my boobs.

It also afforded me an opportunity to escape the "Loll Cardigan of Doom".

I did some spinning last night and I am loving the new top I am working with. I bought it from this eBay seller and I'm thinking about getting some more. I am starting to see more consistency in my singles when I spin, less slubs and less thick/thin going on (although sometimes I do get it a little too thin because I'm not drafting out enough ( Read more... )

The Pumpkins concert was amazing. All kinds of awesomeness. And I was really happy to have earplugs as well - the Fillmore is a super small venue and the Pumpkins sound just filled the place until it was going to bust at the seams.

Spinning is going well. I've finished my first two skeins and I even made an attempt at Navajo Plying with my ( Read more... )

SMASHING PUMPKINS CONCERT TONIGHT!

That is all.
