In which I explain. A little.

I have two wee pieces of news.

Piece the first: I am working on a semi-secret project (the recipient reads this blog sometimes), and there is a small amount of info on Ravelry if you're desperate (sorry to non-Ravelers).

Piece the second: I've worked out the numbers for an EZ raglan sweater that I am about to star knitting right now! So I should have some blog material soon.

Take care everyone.

In which neon takes over

At the behest of my co-habitants, I whipped up a tea cozy the other night.
I think it's ridiculous and kind of retro-hideous, but everyone else loves it!



Have a good weekend, peoples!

In which 'gloves will keep us together' *sung*

Let's see. I've been out of blogging commission for almost a month now, oops!



Pattern: Endpaper Mitts, size small
Yarn: Harrisville Designs New England Shetland. Don't remember the colours, Maybe russet and gold? Well under one skein of each.
Needles: 2.25 and 2.75mm DPNS
Start: February 2, 2009
End: April 1, 2009
For: Old Man
Modifications: None!
Verdict: Totally easy to knit, the second one took about a day and a half! The yarn is wonderful and bloomed nicely after washing and did soften a good degree. All around a winner, the recipient loves them, too!

It's hard to beat a nice nap in the sun.

In which *fluff content*

My, how he's grown.





And isn't he just a handsome devil? (and you can all get off my back about posting more cat pictures now ;) )

In which some things just never change

So I was sitting around, and I went to pick up some yarn for a project I'm working on (I'll let you know more later), and what do I see?











Looks like they stuck with me through not one, but two moves.

Happy week, peoples!

In which I continue to claim I am not dead!

So, I have stopped counting the months between postings. It's shameful, I know.

But I have been squeezing in knitting time little by little, and when I did get a minute, it would just fly by. As a result a pair of socks was finished!



Pattern: Ironworks, size small
Yarn: Tanis Fibre Arts Blue Label Fingering Weight in Peacock
Needles: 2.5mm aluminum circulars
Start: September 24, 2008
End: Jan 24, 2009
For: Old Man (neither an old man, nor my old man)
Modifications: None!
Verdict: Love knitting this, it sped by whenever I could have enough time to get into the pattern groove. The yarn is gaaaaaaawgeous, and just fabulous to work with. No word yet on the wear, but given it's a wool/nylon blend, I am not too concerned. As the clincher, the recipient loves them! I just feel bad it took me so long to finish.

In which I present proof

Well golly gee, I only finished this first sock AGES ago, and am still trying to get the second done when I have bits and bobs of time.

Not really in the mood for chatting folks. See you around!
