Track Knitting.


This past weekend we went to the race track and I got some stellar knitting done. The French Girl Top is now 99% done (I only have to do the edge) and the birthday top I'm doing is 40% done (still on the repeats at the bottom - but making good progress).

I did, however, pull and Anne. Yep. While taking out the waste yarn on the French Girl Top (which is made with a kid silk light yarn), I snipped the actually knitted yarn and made a hole. My fingers have never shock so bad as I tried to stitch the yarn back together. It was a nerve racking 15 minutes (but the yarn was fixed and I'm sure no one will ever notice). I tried to take a photo - but for some reason our camera to computer link isn't working right now. I'll post one later. One you finish the 20 inches of body the rest of the item is super fast. Sorry for complaining about it so much!

I'm about to get on a flight and have the Lotus top I'm working on. Let's hope TSA doesn't take my needles!


NOTE: Photos started working again! Yippy.

    between your post and Anne's about snipping this yarn, I think I'm about to make a decision to never use it. I'm too scared of it! :)

Bowls With Boarders!

There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork   I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

Yep.  I have totally slacked on updates.  I’ve been actively working down my year of project stuff.  But it has been a hot minute since I posted.  Let’s cover the good. I finished a few things.  A sweater (Sylvia) that has been on the needles for a year.  Roving that has been sitting for a year and the Hitchhikers shawl that was part of my planned year of project work.   Now for the bad.  I have two projects on my year of project list that just aren’t speaking to me.  One is a pair of mittens on fingering weigh and the other is fingerless mitts (which the pattern is just painful).   In the new year I plan to assess what is working and what I’m hating and focus on the things I enjoy.  Life is too short to work on projects we hate! On my list for yop I still have 3 official projects to complete.  I might swap the sweater pattern.  The plan for the week is coming together!

I took this photo just so you couldn't make out the colorway or really much of the pattern. Just a sneaky little shot to show you something that I'm currently working on. For those of you out there still wondering ... yes the Yogini sweater is coming along. I'm probably only 2 inches from finishing the second sleeve and then the trim. I know, I really should work harder to finish it!
