Progress has slowed a bit on the Logan River Wrap, but I did finish the 25th repeat last night. I’m using the last ball of yarn right now, and I’m not sure I will have enough for all 29 repeats and the upper border. I’ll probably put in a lifeline at the end of the [...]

(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?

Remember these terrible, horrible, no good, very bad socks? I was tired of them hanging around, unfinished and making this knitter all kinds of unhappy.

But what to make? Hats! I needed to add a [...]

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!

Rationing
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
Last year, I half-heartedly said I would knit from stash. I did OK with this, but I also added too much to stash. Looking through my archives, there’s a definite pattern: most of the shopping happened during November and December. Is it a pathological need to stock up on woolly goods in preparation for the [...]
