Broken
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
I have gotten almost no knitting done this week. I’ve tried three different projects and gauge was way off on all of them. A hat project I’m trying to start seems cursed; the join keeps twisting, argh! A DPN broke and I had no extras (not a sockish size (2.25 through 3 mm), of which [...]

Aberration
Posted by limedragon | Filed under crochet
I’ve been struggling with a lack of focus. I can’t concentrate on my current projects. I desperately want to cast on something new, or even worse, buy new yarn. (It’s that time of the year, when fall catalogs full of beautiful, warm sweater designs and accompanying richly colored yarns arrive in my mailbox; it’s only [...]

I cast off Logan last night, and managed to get a so-so picture in the waning daylight.

(Surprise! I have finally rolled out my new blog theme. Simple, but cute, and totally me. Stop by and check it out!)
Remember these socks? Frogged them. I thought the yarn (Omo) would be nice with something lacy. How about Jeanie? Pretty cables and dropped stitches? What could not be more fun?

A little cheese, a little whine

I cast-on for my first project of the new year last Friday. I was full of excitement, hope, and knitting promise. The yarn was a good match for the pattern, light colored with good stitch definition. A very good start!

Thanks everyone for your comments regarding the Mermaid Socks! I appreciate them all and will respond to the comments as soon as I can. I’ve been lax this week.
I’ve been working on some simple garter squares to drop off for Warm Up America this weekend. Mindless knitting, but I’ve had a hard time finishing [...]

Long day, but nothing to show for it

Today started out well, really, it did. I went walkabout in the neighborhood for 40 minutes and took my knitting with me. I didn’t see a soul while I was out, (this was about 8:45 to 9:30), but it was a good walk. I got through an orange stripe on the Madder socks. I’m nearly done [...]
