I won’t say much. I’m too mad. At myself and at the stupid $#%(#($@#$&*$%)$_ idiots who developed dye lots. SONUVA.
I can’t believe I didn’t see this happening. I just kept on-a-knittin and didn’t look at anything but what I was working on at the immediate moment. I am actually completely amazed [...]

I’m chugging along with the CPH v2 in wool ease. Both sleeves are done and blocking away. I’ve had some trouble with the body, though. In knitting this second one, I realized an error I never really worried about on the first one. Anyway, I have cast on at least 3 [...]

Done up in stash-busting Bernat Softee Baby in pale blue, this is the Sirdar leaflet pattern #3143 on size 5 bamboo needles. I adapted to knit in one piece instead of 3 and joined the sleeves as if knitting in the round. Kind of made it more difficult than I thought, but it [...]

Not much knitting news, though. [...]

I have a Central Park Hoodie (CPH) on the needles in Rowan Yorkshire Aran Tweed because I’m afraid to finish it… If I finish knitting it, I’ll have to seam it and the yarn scares me. It’s thick and thin and weak and strong and [...]

It has several issues, but it wasn’t exactly planned well before jumping in and knitting away. Worked in the round until the armholes, then back and forth on two fronts and the back sections. I used size 8 addis on this, as well as 7 bamboo for the neck and armhole ribbing. [...]

I decided it would be fun to semi-design a vest with a nice cable for a friend. From scratch using the Handy Book of Sweater Patterns. Ouch. All was going well until I needed to split the cable, so nicely centered in the front, into two even sections flanking the V of [...]

From the Jess Hutchison Unusual Toys For You to Knit and Enjoy booklet. Used Patons Astra in lip pink, baby pink, and baby yellow on size 5 clover dpns. Took about 1.5 days including kid-interruption time. I can definitely see more of her patterns in my immediate future!!

So I’m not a “real” blogger, I’m just faking it so I have a central location for my knitting tidbits. I started knitting in late 2004 when I bought a learn-to-knit-kit by Lion Brand at Joann. I had never even set foot inside a Joann before, let alone a brand spanking new Joann [...]
