Secret Knitting Update #5

In between working on the pattern for Secret #1, I’ve been knitting furiously away on the subway, at lunch, while cooking dinner, and before bed on the second half of Secret #4: It’s not going quite as quickly as the first half, but I’ve had alot more things on my plate while working on the [...]

Flexing My Knitting Muscles

Hurray! I finished up the main body this morning at 1:30. I was so tired but felt like I need to press on til it was finished. I only had 20 rows to go, so why not! I paid for it when I had to get up for work this morning, oh well! My biceps [...]

Secret Knitting Progress Update #4

So much for meeting my personal knitting deadline of today on this one. The current section has a lot of stitches, so it slowed me down a bit. Plus I was doing some more top secret swatching this weekend, so this project was not picked back up again until yesterday. I’ve done about 8″. I [...]

Secret Knitting Progress Update #3

As promised from Monday, here’s my progress for Secret #1 over the past couple of days: Again, my camera can’t even come close to the actual beautiful color of this yarn! Sorry for the misshapen lump of knitting picture, but I can’t give away too many clues! Not quite sure I’ll be able to meet [...]

Knit In Public Day

Sorry, no project updates tonight. I am too lazy to get out the camera and take a picture. I can give a verbal update though! I am so very very close to finishing the back I can taste it! I hope that I’ll be finished with Secret #1 by next Tuesday – well, the knitting [...]

Secret Knitting Progress Update #2 + Music Meme

I started knitting up Secret 1 Tuesday night. I just love, love, love working with this yarn. This will eventually be the back. Looking small you say? Guess you’ll just have to wait and see what’s going on with this one. By the way, it’s fairly sunny here in NYC (finally!) but when I took [...]

Secret Knitting Progress Update #1

My needles have been clicking away like crazy over here. I’ve finished the first part of the body for secret #4. I can’t believe I managed to do it in one week – especially when working on size 2 needles! I guess it’s part cashmere, part excitement. I’m really loving how this project is coming [...]
