Ohhhhh, look! A Finished Object!
(I would have posted yesterday, but Misfit wouldn’t move off the futon. As you can see, he’s fond of comfort. And, sorry about the date stamp.)
Some notes:
1. This was originally a pattern from an afghan book. After several inches of slipping a stitch for five rows (with [...]

…there may just be an FO in the future.
Sunday morning, 9 AM: With one cup of coffee in me and another cooling in the mug, I continue Saturday evening’s joyous casting off of the damn afghan.
Sunday, 9:45AM: After forty-five excrutiating minutes (mostly involving preventing the Olive from hopping into my lap) I cast [...]

Meeting the free-range yarn:
Getting to know the wheel–very important:

What I would really like to be doing right now is showing you some progress on the UFOs. I failed to realize this week was that Mr. Cygknit’s return to school meant one thing–the laptop went back to school, too. *Sigh* Now, this laptop is the only computer (of 3 in the house, not counting [...]

#3 Bumblebee socks

So, how many more pictures of bobbins can you take? How about a short break from them (for you, not for me. Heavens, no!)
I’ve been reading my Knit the Classics selection this month during my lunch break…instead of knitting. August is Nabakov’s Lolita, and my lunch break is an exactly perfect amount of time to [...]

Yes, the ones who Navajo ply are the clever ones. Sadly, I didn’t realize–until looking for a link for this here post–that one could Navajo ply on the wheel. (You may smack your foreheads in shame and embarrassment for me, its ok.) I had only remembered this tutorial out there– probably because I only had [...]
