Rogue begins!
I knit way too much yesterday. What I did:
1. I finished the Lorna's Laces socks. Actually, I just realized that I may have left the holes formed when I finished the short row heels and started knitting the leg. I should close those up today.
2. worked on the advanced_knit-swap-socks a little bit
2. knit a swatch for Rogue
3. started Rogue.

exciting stuff below!
It's done! I finished Rhapsody in Brown this weekend. Seaming the sides was easy as pie. (Who knew that seaming reverse stockinette would be so easy?) I'm also about 10 minutes from finishing the Lorna's Laces socks, but alas, the camera is again joining its owner on a camping and hiking trip, so no pictures until tomorrow or Wednesday. (This ( Read more... ) -
It's like running a marathon!
Well, the good knitting news is that sewing sleeves onto a drop shoulder sweater is easy as pie. it went very smoothly, and looks damn fine, if I'm allowed to make that judgment.
The bad knitting news is that seaming is just plain draining. There's something about it that just tires me out, even when it's going smoothly. It must be the intense ( Read more... ) -

Whoo! I started to set up a Blogger version of my knitting blog. I just made a couple of posts, with background stuff, for now. Maybe I'll wait a little bit before unveiling it, as I really would like it to have more content before I send people over there ( Read more... ) -
knitting stuff
1. I totally rocked in my knitting yesterday. The second R.I.B. sleeve is done, and I've started on the collar. Yet again I wish I had the camera here. You have to see the delicious mess that is the collar. A bajillion ends. Half a bajillion more than are necessary, due to me doing silly things like picking up stitches with the wrong strand of ( Read more... ) -

I went to the library and came home with some super goodies. I am planning on designing socks from scratch, for the sock exchange that eldil is hosting through advanced_knit. In this case, "scratch" being of the buy the pie crust and blueberries at the supermarket variety, not the actual grind the flour and pick the berries from the bushes variety. I'm planning ( Read more... ) -

I'm going to be such a knitting tease this week. I anticipate that I will finish R.I.B. this week, and should also be able to finish the last bit of my pink Lorna's Laces socks. Unfortunately, the camera will be camping up in the White Mountains, as well as climbing as many as a dozen 4,000+ footers. No pictures for you! Funny how things work ( Read more... )
