These took way, way, way longer than they should have. I cast on as a quick project in December and (sigh) two months later, here they are:
Pattern: Dashing (from Knitty, Spring 2007)
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted Delight, in “Frost Gray” (under a skein… this stuff has wonder-yardage)
Needles: US 5 and US 4 dpns
Thoughts: Well… other than […]

Today is the perfect first day of February — gloomy, dark, rainy, and generally kind of miserable. A day to foreshadow what will inevitably be the weather for the rest of the month. But because we’ve only had cold-and-incredibly-sunny lately, and it’s only the first of february so I haven’t had time to […]

Ask and you shall receive:
THANKSGIVING DAY MITTS
Materials:
less than a skein of worsted weight (I used a mystery wool similar to Cascade 220)
3.75 mm, US 5 dpns or needles required for preferred method of knitting in the round
Cable Needle (although I highly suggest cabling without one)
Tapestry Needle
Gauge:
Because these mitts are ribbed, gauge is not terribly important. […]

Recently, D and I decided to merge our households– namely, I will be moving in to his (now almost totally renovated) house (Stella, I totally owe you pictures!). There are many things I do not like about moving, especially when I have to do it twice in one year. I don’t like packing. […]

… but i’ve been drowning a little. I haven’t blogged in forever. I’m behind on bloglines. I’ve stopped commenting on the blogs I do manage to read. I haven’t gotten more than 6 hours of sleep at night in over a week. I’m falling into the pit of mid-semester.
I’m pulling myself out of it and […]

When I was in highschool, I was in a modern dance company. The director of the company was this wonderful woman — very calm, very patient, wonderful choreographer. When we were rehearsing and working up pieces, she would break each dance into sections and we would run through them one at a time. When she […]

Mittens!
Pattern: Target Wave Mittens, by Norah Gaughn (from Interweave Fall ‘06, although it’s also in Knitting Nature)
Yarn: Malabrigo worsted in “Frost Gray” and “Red Mahogany” (not even half a skein of either color)
Needles: Clover US 5 and Latern Moon US 8, straights for both
Thoughts: Well… A good, serious blocking did the trick with these. They […]

Sigh. These were meant to be a quick knit.
Remember how my year began — with the complete inability to follow directions? Well, it looks like I’m keeping with this trend. I finished mitten number two this afternoon, only to find that a) the second thumb is longer than the first and b) apparently I didn’t […]

I couldn’t help myself. I was having a bad day. I needed something new, something to spark my interest. And spark my interest it did, since I stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish it. It’s been a while since my knitting has inspired this kind of dedication.
I’m gonna hold off on commenting on my […]

Today is extraordinarily beautiful. I went for a long walk this morning and took some photos (this is gonna be a photo-heavy post, all in the name of spring and Project Spectrum, of course!)
Pattern: My own (based on Eunny’s Endpaper Mitts, but modified a lot)
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces in “Tuscany”
Needles: Knitpicks dpns, US 0
Thoughts: Fun, quick, […]
