Twinknit

I swear, I haven’t dropped off the face of the planet. I’m in Philly. Again. I feel like I’ve been out of town more than in town these last few months, and it’s led to some erratic blogging. But — there will be knitting, news, and photos when I return to […]

I would like to say, for the record, that ripping back an inch of the foot of the Pomotamus was the most hair-raising, terrifying experience of my brief knitting career. I hope never to have to rip something like that again. All I can say is THANK GOD for that US 000 needles. […]

Oh yeah!
So I treated myself to knitting on Pomotamus while watching Fog of War, which I netflixed ages ago and never had a chance to watch (can I interrupt myself to note that “to netflix” now seems like a completely acceptable verb? My how things have changed!). I was all set to post about the […]

I’m plugging along on the Pomotamus sock. More information soon…
In other news, I’m so close to being done with this grant, I can taste it. This has nudged a little into my knitting time, but when I’m done, I should have a good thirty pages of a chapter finished, and that’s uplifting.
Recently, I’ve noticed […]

I realized today that I haven’t left my house (other than to walk up the lane to the mailbox and back) in a week. No wonder I’m depressed. But I’m almost — ALMOST — done with my last major grant (three more days. Just three more days and I’m done).
My Saturday night?
[that would be a […]

Thanks for all of your comments on the Swallowtail! I’m so pleased with how it turned out, and I think it’s made me a lace convert — I keep finding all these new patterns I want to make. So get ready for more lace to come.
So here and there over the last few […]

I was having a really down day. That is, until I unpinned this:
Pattern: Swallowtail Shawl, from Interweave Fall 2006Yarn: Drops Alpaca 2 skeins (plus some Misti Alpaca laceweight in black…I ran out of yarn)Needles: Addi Natura circulars, 4.5 mm, US 7
Thoughts: There are no words for the joy this shawl makes me feel. […]

Cannot follow directions. Case in point — my first FO of 2007 (Let’s home this isn’t a sign of things to come!)
Pattern: Well, it was supposed to be the Spindle Socks, but I can’t follow directions, so I guess it’s really my own.Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, 2 skeins, in color #340002 (a beautiful […]

I’m back from my east coast rambles and cozily, if sleepily, installed back in my little mountain home. I’m still in the process of catching up on my blog reading, but it seems as though everyone had lovely holidays. I have a lot to post about, but I’m going to follow Rachel’s lead, and stagger […]
