I am super psyched about my blanket for Ella today. I finished the 8th square and CO and got half way through the last one last night while listening to Stash and Burn. Dude, I so love this podcast thing.
Anyway, I also finished the second front piece for Ovaltine, so I just gotta [...]

Ok, so I looked and I feel a little less bad about having to repurchase the Ovaltine yarn. I realized after looking at my PayPal account today that I actually paid for more than half the new yarn with the $ I got from selling off some of my stash yarn. So that’s [...]

So, I’m catching back up on the Sweater Workshop sweater (aka Ovaltine). I’m almost done with the 2nd front piece. I’ll be adding pics later today. Woot. I won’t be able to do my sleeves until the yarn reinforcements come though so they better hurry since I think I need them [...]

Ok, sorry for the lapse (for the like 2 people who might read this). I’m all better now and back on track.
So I finished the hat, finally! It turned out pretty good. I could’ve made it a little longer still, but it turned out nice and it’s very cozy. I do [...]

Ok, I’m still sick but I’m feeling better enough that I hope to take some photos after work to illustrate my week in knitting.
I have finished another square for Ella’s blanket, and started my almost last square.
I did the bind off for my sweater and cast on the left side, and I’m almost done with [...]

I have been sick since Friday. It sucks because I’ve been so sick that I really couldn’t knit and the sickness made me miss my sweater workshop class on Sunday. Damn it. The teacher told me to come by the Thursday night class though so I can see what I missed. [...]

So I can’t believe this, I get home after work and have some time to kill before pilates. I work on my hat, I leave, I come back and pick it up again. I start the decreases. I try it on and f***ing thing is too big still. Really? I [...]

Ok, no pics right now (I’ll add them later I guess), but here’s what’s going on around these knitting parts.
I started my sweater workshop at HCW’s. There are 8 of us in the class and it seems like it will be pretty good. I realized in class that I am bad at [...]

I finished my little glovettes. They came out a little big even though I did the small size, but then again I can barely grasp gauge in knitting, much less crochet.
I finished another blanket square and started a sixth one…
I bought my yarn for the upcoming sweater workshop:
In other news my neck is [...]

Ok, so I got one of my Harmony Guides yesterday and while I didn’t find the exact stitch I was looking for I did figure it out with the help of looking at the diagrams and then trying to diagram/chart out my pattern. After reading it, crocheting the first row and paying attention to [...]
