tychus!
Posted in knitting, skating sweater, tychus on 25 November, 2007 | 2 Comments »
i just thought i’d say i’m really bad with linking to things that i talk about, so soon enough i’ll put in links on all the names of things i’ve mentioned.
anyway, i just knit a tychus! it’s a great hat pattern from knitty which provides some really excellent shaping sans knitting in the round!! i [...]
too much turkey, not enough knitting
Posted in knitting, skating sweater on 23 November, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
although it’s not even thanksgiving anymore, happy turkey day to those who celebrate it, and a belated wish it is.
i didn’t get to knit much today, but i guess that much is a bit of a relative term. after some tea and general ‘f this’ attitudes, i decided to cast on for the Skating Sweater [...]
woe is me!

i’m about to get wayne brady a-la chappelle’s show on someone right about now.
i bought a bunch of wool ease yarn in cilantro (such a gorgeous color, seriously) so i could try either the twinkle hoodie or the skating sweater from twinkle’s big city knits. of course, i have size 11, 17, and 19 needles. [...]
more musings.

i always feel as though right when i get really excited about something else i’m knitting, the actual knitting itself grinds to a horrible, rusty, ear-splittingly creaky halt. it leaves me with nothing to blog about! and that’s just a sad day. anyway, i ripped out my entrelac scarf and cast on again with one [...]
knitty surprises!
Posted in knitting on 8 November, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
the knitty surprises went live today, and i’m interested in Juno and Oblique. both are really nice looking, and super classy. i should consider juno as a christmas gift instead of Muir …it looks a little faster-going.
since knitty is pretty much my knitting bible, i thought maybe it would be neat to try and design [...]
not-so-triumph!
Posted in knitting on 7 November, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
as you can all see, the last post didn’t quite work out for me as far as readability goes. i keep editing that post so that the words go under the pictures and each picture has its own row, but wordpress just does not want to work with me here. i’m trying my best to [...]
triumph over technology!

let’s be straight with each other. technology really, really hates me. it helps explain why i have the most boring blog in the blog-o-sphere. until now. (well actually, that judgment is still yours to make…)
anyway, time to match faces with names.
firstly, the neverending feather and fan scarf. made of Angora Extra 75% angora/25% wool. Color: [...]
entrelac…who knew it was so simple?
Posted in knitting on 4 November, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
…apparently every single knitter who’s actually tried it.
anywho, hello there! once again i’ve been blog-neglectful. oh, the shame. of course, school has been getting kind of intense and i’ve been doing a lot of going out lately, so of course the blog will be taking the backburner. the past few weeks have been pretty enjoyable [...]
rhinebeck

so, this weekend i’m hoping to make a trip to the new york sheep and wool festival, in rhinebeck, ny. (apparently, affectionately called ‘rhineback’.) i’ve never been, but from what i hear it’s a really neat experience, and i’m hoping to gather some info on what to expect, or how the whole thing works, or [...]
