Any Second Now
I probably can't, in good conscience, continue to pepper you with pictures of these and their incremental growth for too much longer. So it's a good thing they're almost done. The finished mitt has seven zigs, and the almost finished one is just at the end of zig six, so [...]
Continue to zig and zag
Nearly done. The sort of nearly done where could almost talk yourself into just going ahead and banging it out, but your elbow really sort of hurts, and you know if you do keep going you'll totally pay for it the next day. So it's waiting (because much as I [...]
Nope Nope Nope
Every once in a while I get a string of comments in quick succession, and the cumulative effect of them leaves me feeling a bit cranky. I'm sure this makes me a big meany pants. But I am a big meany pants with my very own handy dandy website, so [...]
Closer
Someone swing by and bang this out for me, mkay? It's close. I think I need like four more repeats of the pattern and a toe. Which shouldn't take long, but then again I sort of feel like I have the attention span of a gnat this week. Curls 2 [...]
So we’re going to need a pair
Slipper the Second is well underway. I'm just about to start the decreases (which always feels like cheating because it gets faster and faster). And very shortly after that I'll join up and knit in the round (which I like much better than knitting flat if we're being honest). So [...]
Treasures (plus a mystery I could use some help with)
Earlier this week, I found myself typing 'card catalog' into my local craigslist page. This is a thing that happens rather more often than you might expect (along with 'barrister bookcase,' 'dress form,' and 'library,' so now you know all my secrets). Now usually this returns either nothing (most of [...]
Slipper Phase
So I think I'll just let this one speak for itself, ok? Look at that heel, so tidy I could just about die. The cast on is right there, but you really really can't see it. Doesn't look too bad off the foot either, come to think of it. And [...]
Nearly
The slipper is very nearly done. It's at the point where I am obsessively trying it on to figure out when I need to start the toe (soon, the answer is very very soon). It's finally at the point where it more or less makes sense to look at, so [...]
Diluvian (plus giveaway)
It's possible I shouldn't be this entertained by a sock. In fact I probably shouldn't be (or at least I shouldn't admit in public). But I can't help it. Diluvian hit pretty much every one of my sock sweet spots, and I'm delighted to bring them back out. Now in [...]
One to go
Number two on the way! Does anybody else sort of do the math on how many stitches a project has and how many you've done and keep obsessive track of your progress? Or is it too depressing? Anyone want to guess just how many stitches are in one of those [...]
