Well, I finally did it, I learned to do cables without a cable needle. It is so easy, I’m shocked that they even make cable needles! I’m working on the Celtic Cable Cap, using a cable needle. Once I get going, I go pretty quickly. However, everyone on Ravelry (if you aren’t on yet, go […]
We were sitting at home last night, daughter in bed, nothing to do. I didn’t have anything on needles, so I decided to fix my new hat. It was just too short. I frogged down to the start of the increases, and added an inch to it. I was able to get it finished up […]
This is strange, and totally off topic.
We had crazy strong winds yesterday. One time, I looked out the window, and there was a fresh-cut Christmas tree on my front lawn. I watched it blow around a bit (yes the winds were that strong). I had to move it off my driveway when we left to do […]
I completed the crochet border on Reid this evening. I also finished weaving in the 10,000 yarn ends that I had been fighting with. It’s crazy how many strands of yarn this project generated.
I’m really happy with the results. I had originally purchased a pink yarn to use as the border. However the more I […]
I finally got some test yarn for my latest project, FLAK(Follow the Leader Aran Knitting). I knit the gauge swatch for the filler stitch last night. I washed and blocked the swatch, can you believe it? I chose a moss stitch for the filler, instead of the suggested seed stitch. I got the suggestion from […]
It’s been a few days since I’ve had a chance to post. My in-laws are in town from their Florida “estate” (it’s a camper trailer on a lot, with a shed). We’ve been Christmas shopping. I’m one of those people, who likes to wait until the week before to go shopping. My mom is already […]
I washed and blocked Reid today. Maybe I just suck at blocking, but this thing was a major pain in the …
Probably doesn’t help that this the first thing I’ve really ever blocked. The pattern calls for the back to be 15 inches wide by 11 inches tall. After washing, it was about 13 wide […]
…The needles that is.
My Triquetra fingerless gloves are done. What started out as a pair of fingerless gloves turned into a bit of a fiasco. I started knitting these based on a pattern and gauge of what I thought was a similar yarn. Well I learned that lesson, with an Andre the Giant sized glove.
Frog time.
I […]
I’ve finished knitting REID for my daughter Gwen. I started a month or so ago. It wasn’t too challenging, if you’re new to lacy patterns, don’t be afraid. It’s really not that bad. The basic patter repeats over 16 rows. Once you do it a few times, you don’t need the chart at all. And […]
