W.I.P February 25 - DISASTER!



This pattern has been in my queue for a long time. I paired it with this cotton yarn and thought I was ready to go. So, I cast on. I did the rib and then got to the pattern. For some reason the numbers didn't work out and then I realized that I hate the pairing of cotton with this pattern. I'm not super upset about having to frog it, but I'm not sure I'll want to use this yarn for anything else. It has a rough feeling and well is nothing special.

That is all from my end of the knitting world. What are you all working on?

    When life gives you rough cotton, make dishcloths! :-)

    I second the dishcloth idea.

    Sorry to hear about the disaster! Not much going on in my knitting world - I finished the knitting on the pieces of Minimalist Cardigan and have not sewn it together, I have another cardigan that has been waiting to be sewn together as well, and I started another Ariann with some "Jungle Green" Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. No pictures yet. Still going through my vacation pics for some potential blogging! Hope things are well with you.

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!

F.O. Stupidly Simple Shawl

Image
I love putting FO in the subject line. Makes me feel like I've done something good! Project Details: Started on March 6th and finished on June 5th. Longer than one would think - but this was the car or doctor's office project. Not something I worked on all the time. I used 6 skeins of Bristol Yarn Gallery Buckingham Fingering alpaca yarn held together. Well I held two strands together (not all 6 at one time). This gave me the weight I wanted and it still drapes well I think. The pattern is really only 2 sentences long. I used size 7 needles and didn't change anything from the pattern. It was really a fun project!

When Crafting Goes Bad Part II

Image
Well I did it again. No I didn't cut my finger with the rotary blade - but I might as well have. In an attempt to get my big spinning wheel working I was testing out some fiber - when all of a sudden the whole flyer and bobbin came off and slammed into my big toes. I'm pretty sure it is broken or really badly bruised. I've been icing it and it hurts to walk. Again the hubby wonders why hobbies are so violent! Ps - I know I have ugly toes...get over it, they are feet!
