Half a pair

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

I finished one glove. It is entirely too big for my hand, so I will wait for both gloves before I can get an action shot with Josh wearing them. The pinky was a pain in the tush. I frogged it twice and finally got it on the third go. I don’t think that is too bad for my first pair of actual gloves. I think I’ll take cables over gloves anytime though.

My mom brought me some yarn and needles today! They were from Brittany’s best friend. She tried very hard to get into knitting, but couldn’t. I gave her and Brittany each a skein of yarn and a set of needles when they told me they wanted to learn. Her friend’s older sister bought Stitch N’ Bitch and she tried to learn from that. Unfortunately, Brittany and her friend were 10 at the time and it just didn’t stick. So, I think she was trying to clean up and decided she should give me the size 15US needles that she had also bought, the needles I gave her and two skeins of yarn she had bought. If she wants to try again at another time, she knows where to find me.

On Hold

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Due to Brittany’s disrespectful attitude today, I have decided that for the time being, I will stop working on the clapotis I was doing for her. I can’t make something for someone who can’t be respectful to me.

So, this means I think I may start on Rogue. I will try to work on gauge swatching tonight and possibly cast on tomorrow. I have read about a lot of people starting with the sleeves to get used to the cables. I may give that a try. I think this might be something I actually show progress pictures of. Imagine that.

Finger Knit Scarves

Thursday, June 3rd, 2004

Finger knit scarves
I made a total of five of these, each using Lion Brand Homespun Yarns (see below for specific colors).
These yarns hide mistakes very easily and you can mix up a couple of the lengths to make a pretty thick scarf.

Each is about 1 inch wide and vary in length.

Materials used:
My fingers
Lion Brand Homespun Yarn Williamsburg 321
Lion Brand Homespun Yarn Deco 309
Lion Brand Homespun Yarn Baroque 322
