Overworked rant

I feel like such a slacker. I haven’t even updated my blog in a week or two. Life has been quite busy the past two weeks or so. Mainly been preparing for the move to the new job. Took some freelance work to do in the meantime to get me ahead of the game…..that is [...]

Yay!

Good news #1 – Two weeks back I submitted one of my designs to Mag Knits for the Chilly 05 edition. I heard back from Kerrie right away and my design was accepted! Look for me in August! Now I just have to tackle Knitty! Good news #2 – I have a new job! I [...]

Gloves for the new boy

Boyfriend gloves Well, since I’m posting another small project I’m sure you’ve gathered that I have still not received my cashmere for Lucky yet. It’s been almost a month now! I went down to Purl to buy the yarn for these gloves last Wednesday and the update was that my yarn was drying in the [...]

Two down, one more to go

R2  And here is my R2 “hugs” shawl converted into a shrug. Finished sewing this up last Thursday but I’ve been too lazy to take a picture and post it. Still waiting for my cashmere. It’s been 3 weeks to the day since I’ve ordered it. Unfortunately Purl is the only shop that has the [...]

Newly finished  Finished a new project tonight. I love big needles! Started this scarf Sunday night and tied on the last fringe tonight. This was knit from Rowan’s Wool Tuft on size 36 needles. It’s so warm and fuzzy! I’ll be wearing it tomorrow for sure, it’s going to be a cold one.

Knitting Guru?

Hmm, took this little quiz today during my lunch. Notice it says “appears to be”: You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knittingand do it all the time. While finishing a pieceis the plan, you still love the process, andcan’t imagine a day going by without givingsome time to your yarn. Packing for [...]

Wrapping up loose ends

Still haven’t received my cashmere for the lucky knit-along. With my luck, the store will probably receive my yarn tomorrow because I will be in Long Island doing shopping research for next season at the mall. Yes, I said “research”…… So in the meantime, I need to sew up my R2 “hugs” shawl to convert [...]

Finished!!

Finished! Finished my armwarmers tonight! Had a nice night out w/ the girls at LIC SnB. Couldn’t put down the needles once I got home, they were just too close to being finished. I decided that little projects are nice – especially when there are very little ends to sew in when done. I guess [...]
