The battle may be lost, but the war is not over
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
I tried to knit myself some socks. I really tried. All I can offer as evidence is this slightly blurry photo of stockinette.

Potholders
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
By chance, I found out that Metro Meals on Wheels were asking for donations of handmade (knit, crochet, or sew) potholders. They would be used by drivers or given to clients. They are looking to collect 800 by this coming holiday season (deadline Dec 5), but have an ongoing goal of 8,000. Look for the [...]

Ravelympics 2008: FO #1
Posted by limedragon | Filed under kid stuff, knitting, sweaters
Whew, I finished my first project for the Ravelympics on Monday! :) I’m really happy with the results. It wasn’t a difficult pattern, but was time-consuming. With this, I earned medals in Sweater Sprint and Colorwork Cross-Country.

(Many thanks for everyone’s kind comments about the bunny pullover. I’ve been so focused on my Olympic knitting that email, blog-reading, and the like have fallen by the wayside, sorry!)
The Ravelry is doing a fun knit/crochet/spin/dye/whatever-along during the 2008 Olympics, with over 5500 members participating. I signed up with two projects and two teams: The [...]

Multiplicity
Posted by limedragon | Filed under baby stuff, decor, knitting
I managed to squeeze in some time to knit a few hats for k3tog’s Preemie Hat drive.
My goal was to knit as many hats as I could get out of a 68-gram leftover ball of Bernat Softee Baby. So how many hats was I able to get from that 68 grams?

Yes, it’s a zoo
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
In more ways than one… I’ve neglected much of my holiday preparation except knitting. Today, I will have to start focusing on gift wrapping, addressing cards (late!) and helping Mom decorate the tree.
Chris mentioned that I was knitting a zoo. How very true. Another way to look at it is as a Noah’s Ark, [...]
