Catching up

By Ronda, on August 13th, 2008%

Man, I haven’t posted since the beginning… It’s been the season of the kids out of school for me! LOL Who knew that summer would be so busy?

But… I did finish my first ever lace project AND I’m entering it in the State Fair (and this is Texas, so that is HUGE!) It doesn’t count for . . . → Read More: Catching up Read more »

I’m getting a late start on my project for SoL. It took me quite awhile to decide on a project because their are so many gorgeous ones out there. I finally have settled on Laminaria from Knitty’s Spring ’08 issue. I’ll be swatching using Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Tide Pool. I’m in the middle of . . . → Read More: Just getting started Read more »

First-ever Lace Project Finished

By metyme, on June 25th, 2008%

Hi everyone! I had posted earlier that I was taking a lace class at my LYS and working on my very first lace item…and it’s finally done and looks GREAT, even if I do say so myself! It’s a little longer than I had wanted it, but it’s a little tricky (at least for a newbie) . . . → Read More: First-ever Lace Project Finished Read more »

I will not be casting on today.

My “warm up knitting” is not finished and I promised myself that I would not cast on a new lace project until I had finished my friends wedding shawl. I can see the end in sight at least. If I am good and can finish 2 rounds a day for the next 16 . . . → Read More: I will not be casting on today. Read more »

Ready to Go!…Sort of

By silverarrowknits, on June 21st, 2008%

I am quite pumped up for this KAL. I have been going lace crazy. I dug up some very old lace WiPs that I decided to finish. Here is Argosy. Okay, I still need to block it and weave in the ends, but the knitting is done! Since it is ridiculously hot here in Florida, I . . . → Read More: Ready to Go!…Sort of Read more »

Final warm up

By littlelena, on June 20th, 2008%

Here is my final warm-up project. It is sherri from Berroco. It turned out a little short no matter how many times I measured so now it’s more of a crop top. It makes me mad because I have another ball left so I had plenty of yarn. Maybe my daughter grew that much in the week . . . → Read More: Final warm up Read more »

On Rules and Prizes and Beads

By ShadowDancer, on June 18th, 2008%

By Marinemom, on June 18th, 2008%

My biggest problem with getting ready is that I keep changing my mind about what I want to do first I want to enter both competitions so I guess I will just have to close my eyes and pick two patterns so I can decide on the yarn for each. I also need to . . . → Read More: Getting Ready Read more »
