I have been very lax about posting. Been in a bit if a slump at work which has completely zapped my enthusiasm for anything. I’ve been taking the pictures though so I’m trying to catch up. I wound the free mini-skein that came with my latest #Bluprint order. Lately I’ve been winding leftover bits onto these “little sticks” I bought as a Lot (50 pieces) … Continue reading May 9 2019
A new sweater kit from Craftsy/Bluprint – A Gift Of Promise (Cloudborn Highland DK – Stormy Skies) and they threw in a free 25g skein of Cloudborn Merino Superwash Sock Twist Mini (Dolphin Blue). It’s a very soft 80/20. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet. Continue reading May 8 2019
Learning to weave. I wasn’t thrilled with the structure of the class. There were four seats available, this session there were three students. Only one got to where we were supposed to be by the end of the evening. I got about half way. The third didn’t even start warping. We have to go back on Saturday so we’re caught up to where we need … Continue reading May 7 2019
Two elbow patches. The one on the left done today; on the right, a couple of weeks ago. I liked the technique of knitting and attaching all at the same time as opposed to others I’ve tried. Continue reading May 6 2019
I was getting a little bored with the dark purple. Michael’s has their store brand in sale for $2 a skein (how do you pass that up?!), so I picked up a few different colors. And they photograph so much better. Apparently I’m still feeling the chevron love. And although I appreciate the Knitter’s Pride straight needles, they’re really hard on my wrists. I’m going … Continue reading May 5 2019
My daughter surprised me with an outing to Kline Creek Farm Sheep Shearing. Beautiful weather, great company š Continue reading May 4 2019
Another block for Warm Up America. Stitch pattern is called Sailors’ Rib (May 4) from my 365 Knitting Stitches A Day Perpetual Calendar. Continue reading May 3 2019
Size doesn’t matter. Nice easy knit today. You can’t tell but I added about two rows! Yarn and needles from Tuesday Morning. Continue reading May 2 2019
The third consecutive sock fail. This is about as much knitting heartache I can take in two weeks. (AprilĀ 15, April 18) I think I’ll work on something much less gauge specific. P.S. The first Chevron socks do fit Sydney if I just tighten up the cuffs so although a fail for me having them, not a complete fail. Continue reading May 1 2019
They feel great, they look great. To bad they don’t fit! The foot is a little snug but I could live with it but it’s too tight across the instep so it doesn’t go over my heel. Even though there are an equal number of increases to decreases something about the overall structure apparently changes the stretch. So sad š¢ Then I started thinking about … Continue reading April 30 2019
