I finally had enough of the sloppy, not fitting ribbing on my Triquetra Cable Gloves. So, I cut the ribbing off, picked up the stitches and knit a new ribbing with different yarn and smaller needles. I originally used size 6 with Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran, which is 99.99% inelastic, with zero memory.
So, they are […]
I finally broke down. The ladies at my LYS have been “gently encouraging” me to try the magic loop for a while now. I had a pair of mittens to make for Gwen, so I decided to try it. I went on over to knittinghelp.com(very instructional website) to learn how to do the loop (everyone is […]
The yarn arrived for my sweater yesterday. I was so excited that I got right to work. After taking some measurements, and some quick (and painless) math, I knocked out the shoulder saddles. I can’t wait to get to work on this sweater!
I heard some slightly sad news. Janet Szabo is no loner offering this […]
I finally finished up my socks. I started them when I came down with influenza. That was not a terribly fun experience. I spent two days with a fever and wicked cough. On the third day, I went to the doctor, who gave me Tamiflu (wonderful drug, but soooo expensive). The very next day, I […]
Yep, I’ve got the flu. Not a bad cold, not the kind that makes you live in the bathroom, good old-fashioned influenza. It sucks, really. I’m achy, tired, cold, then hot, hacking, coughing, sneezing. I’m a NyQuil commercial. I went to the doctor, and he said, “Yep, influenza, here’s a prescription for Tamiflu.” One stop […]
The cable swatch is one complete repeat (24 rows) of the center panel (right side of the photo) and one side panel (left side of the photo).
Starting at the right is a 6 stitch wave cable, then a 4 stitch honeycomb, then a 10 stitch braid, another 4 stitch honeycomb, and another 6 stitch wave. […]
And it looks GREAT on her!
This is my first “Girl From Auntie” project. I’m truly amazed by the quality of her design on this pattern. Not only is the pattern extremely well written, the charts are easy to follow and the legend is excellent.
Her use decreases to move the cables, and reduce the size of […]
I haven’t had much time for knitting this week. I had to go back to work, so I’m getting back on schedule. Not enough sleep = SleepyScotsman = knitting mistakes = NotKnittingScotsman.
I did notice a huge mistake on my Celtic Cable Cap about 10 rows down, so I frogged it. I caught back up last […]
