Something ______ this way comes

Next up is…. Wicked. For what ever reason my camera is taking blurry pics. Wonder what DH did to it when he took pics of Rogue.
Wicked is a raglan top down sweater. It’s done down to the join beneath the arms. After miles of stockinette I’m knitting more. At least now I’m [...]

With great pleasure I present..

Rogue.
Pattern: Rogue, by the girl from auntieCast on 12/24/06, finished 1/28/07, a little over a month, but there were extenuating circumstances, we moved, I knit a sweater etc, etc, etc…Yarn: Alpaca with a Twist Baby Twist (8.75 oz, 549 yards) I love the way this turned out, I thought the yarn may be a little [...]

Rogue on the Blocking Board

Rogue is in the final stretch, finally. That trip to Sleeve Island was a long one.

This should be an FO by Monday, Tuesday at the latest, depending on how long it takes to dry and how long it takes me to do the seaming and weaving in of the ends. Oh yeah, [...]

Geisha called and I answered

Ok, yesterday when I was at Madrona, Blue Moon Geisha called to me, but I left without it. I slept on it and I could still hear her cries, so I went back again today. Let me tell you now, I’m not going back again this weekend, you can’t make me. I [...]

Not my fault…

This morning I drove my parents to the airport, which is half way between Seattle and Tacoma. Well, this is the weekend that the Madrona Fiber Arts Retreat is running in Tacoma. So since I was half way there….
KnittersAnnonymous.com had a booth and look what I found.
The t-shirt just had to come home [...]

Yarn, Rogue and Alpaca

Look what showed up in the mail. We’re not very good about checking our mail, so this may have been there for a few days. A while ago I helped KnitDevil add a button to her side bar, and in return she sent me these .2 balls of Mango Moon’s Pash-Mohair.

I just joined Knit Off ‘07 over a Yarn Monkey. Am I becoming a Joiner? This looks like it’s going to be an interesting challenge, and should be lots of fun. Come on everyone, join me in this.
Rogue Hood is done and the sleeves are cast on, I’m just to lazy to take a [...]

It’s just a hood….right?

Here’s where I’m at with Rogue, I’m about half way up the hood. That’s it, only half way up the hood. It’s only a hood, but the cabling, it’s some mind boggling cabling. A pure joy, but there’s lots of it. I love seeing it come to life as I knit, but [...]

A UFO…Rogue

Knitdevil really is a little devil in my ear, but you can thank her for convincing me to put up a pic of an actual UFO. Don’t know why, I just never have posted UFO’s, it’s become like a little superstition to me, if I post it I won’t finish it type thing. [...]

What color purple are you?

Saw this over on Mehitabel’s blog, and since Purple is one of my favorite colors it seemed appropriate.

Dark Purple

To others, you seem a bit dark, mysterious, and moody.In truth, you are just a very unique person who doesn’t care what others think.And you really enjoy your offbeat interests and friends.You’ve decided that life is about [...]
