Committed.

November 12, 2007 by Amy

One of the many, many reasons I love this community is that sometimes others will have realizations I’d never think of, and then share. Today, it was Ms. Monster Yarn. You know, folks? She’s totally, totally right. Holiday knitting is just craziness. There is just no need to drive myself…

Miles high

November 8, 2007 by Amy

Thank you all so much for your comments about the sweater. I feel like I’m floating today. I don’t think I missed anyone but if I did, thank you! Thank you thank you thank you. You guys ROCK. Sadly, there’s no rest for the wicked. My impulse knit of tangled…

FO: Tangled up in Blue

November 7, 2007 by Amy

(It’s my favorite Dylan song ever. How could I resist such a title?) Pattern: Eunny Jang’s Tangled Yoke Cardigan from the Fall 2007 Interweave Knits Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed, color “Carbon” (which is so blue, hush you), a smidge over 7 balls for the 38″ size Time elapsed: I thought…

Milestones

November 4, 2007 by Amy

Amidst a very sad weekend*, I finished all of the knitting on the tangled yoke cardigan. It just needs some ribbon and jewelry to finish it off. Up next is holiday knitting, and I’d really better get zooming on that. My list, as usual, is gigantic. Also as usual, I’ve…

Laying there asleep in a sunbeam,

October 30, 2007 by Amy

I wonder if you realize you fascinate me so… Excuse the bright purple–it really was laying there alseep in a sunbeam. But! The Eleanora sock is finished, and packed away in a box with some goodies to send to a super-nice friend. Jacob may have helped with some of the…

Desert Island FO

October 28, 2007 by Amy

Although you’ll have to forgive me for the poor focus in a few of these shots (I still haven’t worked out the kinks of self-portraits here at the new place), the Waterlily Top is now officially an FO: Pattern: Waterlily Top by Katy Ryan, from the Spring 2006 issue of…

Socks and sox

October 25, 2007 by Amy

Thank you all so very, very much for your wonderful support. After such a needed break, coming home to hubby and Jacob has been incredibly helpful, and I’m feeling lots better than I was a week ago. Of course, the Sox doing so well in the world series and all…

An actual update

October 24, 2007 by Amy

It’s not usually a struggle for me, deciding what to talk about here. It’s a knitting blog, and I’m always (always) knitting, so… there ya go. But there’s something in the room, now. Or rather, not in the room, and it’s getting in the way of my Rhinebeck post. I…

Trials and Tribulations

October 15, 2007 by Amy

Can I even express in words how FRUSTRATING it is that I’m writing this post over dial-up? I don’t think so. The DSL folks say that it might be another 3-4 business days before we get real network connectivity, here. No blog reading over morning coffee for me, and I’m…

See you soon!

October 4, 2007 by Amy

Thanks so much for your opinions on the yarn, everyone. It was really interesting to see what the word “deep” meant to all of you. My instinct was that a deep color would be both dark in tone and very saturated. But if I take the majority opinion, it seems…
