Looking forward to seeing you in 3 weeks with some beautiful FOs. Knit on!

Redemption.

That’s more like it! More sleeve, more shawl, and a couple of kick-ass early birthday presents. Tonight: More knitting. Hooray!

The most exciting things happened!

June 14, 2007 by Amy

I finished all of these gorgeous projects and won a huge shopping spree at my LYS and got invited to teach the Queen of England to knit and… …oh wait, no. Those were all dreams. Damn. But I may as well tell you about them, because the actual knitting going…

Zoom!

It is so impossible that an entire week has passed. Completely unbelievable. Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on Tulip, they kept me smiling all week long! Of course, I cast on for something else right away. Two things, actually, which is really rare for me. It’s…

Flowery FO

Where shoulder seams sprout…

…FOs are soon to follow. I have to weave in some ends, knit some ties and attach them, and give the (weirdly made but gorgeous) collar a good press. And seriously, I take back all of the whining and all of the bitching and everything bad I’ve ever said about…

Nerves

May 24, 2007 by Amy

This project has certainly tested mine! In a way, I’m pleased with my perseverance. It stands as a testament to my progress as a knitter–certainly, I would have let my doubts get the better of me even just a year ago. For while I’m not letting them talk me into…

Cornered

May 18, 2007 by Amy

Ah… that’s going to be much, much better. My dressform is sadly more short-waisted than I am, so you’ll have to imagine taller shoulders, there. But I think the new decreases are going to work out wonderfully and I’m so happy I took the time to rip and re-figure. I’m…

On Unecessary Delays

May 17, 2007 by Amy

So this past weekend, two of our three computers (our desktop and one of our laptops) suffered fatal disk errors. (Really, world. Don’t you understand that my knittng is at stake here?!) Being rather uninterested in purchasing our next computer system right at this very moment, we’ve come up with…
