Still not king.

August 8, 2008 by Amy

Well, in case you’re wondering, a newborn isn’t the reason I’ve been away. On the contrary, he seems plenty comfortable in there and I may well have to waddle like a manatee through a few more weeks. There are worse things than a healthy-but-tardy baby, and we’ve been dealing with…

All WIPs, all the time

July 22, 2008 by Amy

…because I clearly couldn’t actually finish anything to save my life, right now. I’m appalled to discover it’s been nearly three weeks, because I don’t even have one finished sock to show you folks, let alone two. The new version of Rivendell does seem to be a keeper, though. (Yes,…

Swollen

July 2, 2008 by Amy

As if I needed another reason to be… well, less than excited about a summer pregnancy in Boston, my hands are so swollen that most days I can’t actually get my hands closed into a fist. Knitting is largely out of the question. Lucky for me, the lovely wry punster…

Life, rebooted

June 23, 2008 by Amy

(Edited to add: I think I’m going to do my inbox a one-time favor and just publicly say thank you SO MUCH to everyone who commented on the Cleopatra Wrap. All of the wonderful compliments and well-wishes really meant a lot to me during these past gross weeks.) Well! That…

Deco-Egyptian FO

It’s done! It’s done! The Cleopatra Wrap is done! Pattern: Cleopatra Wrap from Sensual Knits, pattern by Miriam Felton Yarn: Sundara Silk Lace, “Copper over Bamboo” (from the first Seasons Club) Time Elapsed: Almost 4 months, but during most of that time the stole was sitting with just 7 rows…

All Sundara, all the time.

I wish! But she does seem to be holding a nice monopoly on my knitting attention, these days. My yarn is almost gone. After compulsive checking of the scale, I figure I can get through the current repeat and end on the appropriate row with a mere 2 grams left…

Impatience and Parentheses

May 14, 2008 by Amy

Let’s just say that I’m not the world’s most patient person, generally. Then there’s the pregnancy (officially reached: the bloated cranky stage), the upcoming move (omg omg 2.5 weeks omg omg), nervousness about a thousand things big and small that aren’t done yet (eek preschool waiting lists for crying out…

Happy Birthday FO

May 11, 2008 by Amy

Well, the party was this weekend, so now I can share! Pattern: Nicky Epstein’s “Animal Pullovers (Elephant)”, from back issue of Knit It! Yarn: Karabella Aurora 8, colors 14 and 201 (6 and 1 balls for the 4-year size) Time Elapsed: 6 days, booyah Notes/Modifications: The biggest change (other than…

Where are all the WIPs?

May 7, 2008 by Amy

One of my favorite things about this knitblogging community is reading running commentary about works-in-progress–seeing how projects take shape, getting fresh impressions of how a particular knit goes rather than the sum-up feelings at the end, the vicarious thrill of others’ triumphs and the keen empathy when I read about…

FO Double-Header

May 5, 2008 by Amy

Since neither of these projects took a full week to complete, it feels a little strange to do two separate FO posts. Thus! Pattern: “Beret and Socks” from Debbie Bliss’ Baby Cashmerino 3 booklet Yarn: Baby Cashmerino, in the recommended colors. Time Elapsed: Something like 5 days? Ridiculously little. Notes/Modifications:…
