So not much knitting in May. I didn’t finish anything at all. I started the Charade socks (like 5 times) and a crochet shrug, but other than that not much movement.
I did manage to get my garden started in May though and now I’m ready to really start busting out the [...]
I could do something in crochet instead. I really hadn’t thought about that, but there are a couple of patterns I found on Ravelry that might work for either my Louet (I’ll have leftovers from the $1.50 Cardi anyway) or the Tilli Tomas. First, there’s Short and Sweet from Stitch ‘N Bitch Crochet: [...]

First things first: the hat situation…So I talked with my sis on Friday and she told me that if I made something handwash it wasn’t a big deal. She also said she didn’t think something covering her ears would be practical. I’m still making the Earhart hat anyway though-to give her options. [...]

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 bought my yarn for the upcoming sweater workshop:
In other news my neck is [...]

Hmm, so I’m working on this new project (fingerless gloves) in crochet and I seriously don’t think I’m doing it right. Check it out:
It’s done in blossom stitch and it just doesn’t look right. I think I don’t really understand what I’m doing and none of my crochet books has blossom stitch so [...]

So I’m so getting my ravelry invite either today or tomorrow (less than 600 people ahead of me), I’m psyched! I have been pulling together all my magazines and books, marking all my wishlist projects, gathering all my stash in anticipation.
I’ve finished scarf four and five and I’m almost done with six. [...]

Here’s number three:
I am a wee bit behind on the xmas crochet. I need to finish scarf 4 today and I haven’t started it yet. Good times. I have a vision of myself at like 10 pm tonight (it may not seem late to you, but for me it’s the time to [...]

So here are the two scarves, the blue is done in colorway 212, and the green is 207.
So I have finally shaken loose some of the distractions and obligations that were keeping me so busy this last year. I am ready to knit. I’m ready to crochet. I haven’t picked up sticks or hook for 9 months, that damn wedding planning ate up all my time. But I’m [...]
