trouble in sampler land

By sligo, on June 29th, 2008%

I let myself be distracted by the baby today and messed up on my BadCatDesigns Sampler. I was able to reknit the one pattern repeat, four rows back, but when I got back and everything seemed just dandy, I realized I had reknit too far up on the chart. I’m curious–knowing that the mistake is . . . → Read More: trouble in sampler land Read more »

Productive Day

By Marinemom, on June 29th, 2008%

My family decided to go to the lake for the day so it was just me and the kittys. Since the only attention they required was a can of food for lunch, I had lots of quiet time to knit. I was able to finish the entire leg of sock #1! The pattern is a fun . . . → Read More: Productive Day Read more »

The never-ending ball

By littlelena, on June 29th, 2008%

I keep knitting and knitting on my Shetland triangle and the ball never gets any smaller. I keep thinking after the next repeat it will surely be finished, but it feels just the same. I have already done two and a half more repeats than called for in the entire pattern and I’m still on the . . . → Read More: The never-ending ball Read more »

Blocking & Swatching

By Tammy Knits, on June 29th, 2008%

I finished my first Seasons of Lace project and I’m patiently (don’t really know the meanig of the word) waiting for it to dry.

Now I’m about to cast on for a lacy cardigan from CEY Summer Book 1. I’m using the suggested Classic Elite Sundance which is a nice squishy cotton/microfiber blend that will hopefully knit up quickly . . . → Read More: Blocking & Swatching Read more »

Pair of Socks #2

By Marinemom, on June 28th, 2008%

After finishing clue 2 of the shawl I cast on another pair of lace socks. I went to the yarn store today to pick up some yarn for my daughter and ending up buying a few skeins of Cascade Heritage for myself too! I bought a wonderful red and knew that it had to be knit . . . → Read More: Pair of Socks #2 Read more »

Week One Progress

By Niayla, on June 28th, 2008%

Well, since I only have dial-up at home and go to the library to use their wi-fi, pictures can only be uploaded weekly. (The last time I tried to upload to Flickr from home, it took over 40 minutes for 1 picture. I’m not that patient!)

So, here goes. This week, I worked on the Goddess Knits . . . → Read More: Week One Progress Read more »
