knitting?
I haven't knit in MONTHS. Yes, months. Many months. I think it was mid-Spring when I finished my last pair of socks. Then I kinda lost my knitting mojo. I didn't feel like another tiny-needled project and I had nothing else I really wanted to make. I wasn't feeling up to a big project like a sweater. So I've been reading instead ( Read more... ) -

Mmmm, yarn
I can't seem to stop touching my new yarn. I bought some Cherry Tree Hill Sockitome in the limited edition Wool in the Woods lottery colors. Ohmygawd, it's so pretty and so soft. I don't think I've knit myself merino socks before... It's handpainted in deep purple, navy (black where those meet), dark green and a burgundy-purple. I had intended on ( Read more... ) -
I'm still a knitter
Yesterday I frogged my newest socks, because I'm sure everyone is excited to hear that. I'm knitting some toe-ups with Regia Wool/bamboo. It's lovely and soft, but it's extremely stretchy so even though I'm knitting it up at the same gauge as I do Lorna's Laces it made sock toes that were clearly too wide. So I ripped out all that work and took out ( Read more... ) -
It's exciting in tineland
Been busy with my mom visiting and now that she's left, Steve's mom is due to be here in a day and I've got lots of cleaning to do. It's chilly and rain is coming soon and I just want to sit and knit, because that's way more fun than cleaning. I had my half-finished sweaters out yesterday to show my mom what I've been working on and now I'm itching ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes, I still knit
I am this --><-- close to finishing my mom's River stole, now that I've finished fucking it up. Yes! It's true. I only started it a year and a freakin' half ago. I fixed whatever I was doing wrong by frogging and refrogging the same 4 rows twice over, and I'm now halfway through what is to be my last repeat. Hopefully I will resist the urge to knit ( Read more... ) -

The Wyvern socks are done!
I love the excitement of a new project, it motivates me to finish projects that have otherwise been dragging on forever. I finished my Wyvern socks today, largely because I put up our little pool today and the girls spent most of the afternoon playing in it. Knitting is perfect for when I need to be there, watching them in the pool. I can still ( Read more... ) -
Knitting update
It's been a long, long time and since Steve's been playing his XBox 360 for the past 8-9 hours, it's a good time to post.
I've been actively knitting (sorry, no pics, I suck):

Onward to the weekend
Looks like it'll be a rainy one, which is fine, as I'm planning to be in knitting for most of it. It would be nice to be able to go sit outside and knit by the ocean but hey, if the weather won't cooperate, I'm happy knitting inside too. I'd like to go walk around P-town as well, we'll see if that's in the cards or not, I guess. It *is* still a bit ( Read more... )
