I don’t have any pictures to post right now, but I’m glad to say I’m caught up on my Capathon.
For February, I knit Cap Karma Hat. It was a pretty good pattern. It ended up a bit longer that I would have liked. Overall it’s a good solid design.
For March, I gave up on the […]
After much cussing (and I do mean a LOT of cussing!), My January Chemo Cap is finished (yea, it’s way late). It’s only as late as it is because I was 80% done with a different hat and I decided it was entirely to sucky to finish. So, I frogged and went to work on […]
My FLAK is making good progress. I’ve moved the back to scrap yarn, and I’m picking up stitches for the front. I made a minor change to the pattern here. The instructions call for knitting the right front, then putting it on holders, kitting the left front, putting it on holders, then going back to […]
Many of you know that my father died from complications after a bone marrow transplant. He developed Leukemia late in life, and was just not able to survive the treatment.
One of the things that made the horrific treatment a little more bearable was the generous gifts that people made and donated for Chemo patients. There […]
I finished this up, and gave it to Gwen as a Christmas present. But we haven’t been able to get her to wear it!
She finally put it on this morning. Isn’t she adorable!
P.S. She only wore it for about 5 minutes.
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 […]
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. […]
