Warm Up
You remember the (ever so slightly crazy making) reign of painterly doom. They did lovely work, but while they were here, I just could not pay attention to one thing for more than an hour or so at a time. It just wasn't happening. So in celebration of a short attention span, I made this set of mitts. At least that's the excuse I'm using for the otherwise pitiful amount of stuff I got done while they were here. The mitts are an excellent consolation though! Each one takes only minimal mental effort (hey, we all have those days, I [...]
And Then They Fell Down Raining Fiery Death on All
Some things in this world are simply true. It doesn't matter if I remember them or not. It doesn't matter if I like them or not. They just go right on being true in blatant disregard of how I think the world should work. For instance, I am a big person, and I have giant freaky man hands. Also, it is rather challenging to take pictures of hands. Given these two truths, it really shouldn't surprise me that taking a picture of giant freaky man hands that 1) makes them look willowy and delicate 2) shows off the knitting they [...]
The Stars Aligned
Several things have happened at once. I'm home during daylight (not that rare). The Boy is home during daylight (much more rare). The weather is pleasant (quite unusual). I have finished knitwear to photograph (nearly unheard of). The combination means that there is a very good chance that all three of the little fluffy mitts shown a week or so ago will be ready to show off in their final project photos in the next day or two. Which is excellent, because that means I'll be able to start wearing them. Holding off on wearing perfectly good knitwear is rather [...]
Creep
I'm suffering from project creep. It started with 'hey, I bet I can learn this cast on.' Yesterday's wee red mitts were the result of that little fit. That led to 'oooooh, you know what else would be cool?' That thought tipped me elbow deep into the short bits bin to dig out that blue yarn you see right there. Then I had a 'well, three of something is a collection, right?' Which sent me scrabbling back into the very same bin for the yellow yarn and the two buttons (buttons!) What do you think, do those three colors go [...]
