400m (~440 yards) is long. And lace weight at that. But it's finally wound ( Read more... ) -
Take Two *sigh*
You may recall that I've whined about a shrug that I made and it came out too big.
After my last crafty day, when I saw the lovely linzq's clapotis made out of the same kid/silk blend, I immediately frogged the shawl, washed the yarn, and started a clapotis. I'm not whining - it's an easy pattern once you get the hang of it ( Read more... ) -
Still here. Really.
Still no pictures.
I'm disappointed by patterns lately. I recently received patterns from White Lies Designs for two jackets that I adore. I don't mind paying for the patterns, because a lot of work goes into designing these. There not just box front, back, triangular sleeves ( Read more... ) -

Long-awaited progress pics
First, the socks that were on the needles before the Olympics began. The stitch is kind of tricky - I dislike ribbing; all the back & forth of the yarn is slow. But this is so worthwhile.

The heels are turned. Now, it's miles of boredom. (Not really, the pattern's interesting enough, and the colour changes will help.)
Laura threatened to hack this journal, and use my commentator style against me. Just because I was looking at pretty patterns instead of turning my heel. *miffed* -
We return to our event already in progress…
Our athlete must be dealing with a little disappointment right now. Yes, progress continues, but due to some unathletic behaviour, she suffered the carb sleeps on Saturday and didn't get as much done as she'd hoped ( Read more... )
