Wednesday Night at Borders

Posted in entertainment, fun, knitting, tagged , , , on October 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Things were hopping at my SnB this week.  In addition to our usual discussions about sex, religion, politics, and potty training we participated in a charity event. Barbara is collecting hats and scarves for a shelter for homeless teens and she brought them in to show us.  A lot of people from Ravelry sent her [...]

Looking At the Brighter Side

Posted in blogging, fun, knitting, tagged , , on October 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »

As my friend, Gwen, reminded me in the comments below, I had a wonderful time on Saturday.  I went to a fiber festival in Berkeley with Ceallach to pimp her hand dyed yarned.  It was a small, local venue with lots of time to visit with other knitters and vendors.  I wish I had time to [...]

Voo-doo Wrist Warmers  originally uploaded by pixelpurl.

A quickie, brainless knit for a friend’s birthday.  She asked for them, she got them.  2×2 ribbing on dpns with a 6-stitch buttonhole for the thumb.  Plymouth Encore.  This is about all I am capable of lately.

Knitters Are Such Cool People

Yesterday I went to Santa Rosa with some fellow knitters to see the Yarn Harlot at a book signing.  Like a dummy, I didn’t even think of taking a camera (kicking self). My rig is so big and bulky that it is difficult to be unobtrusive in public and it didn’t even occur to me [...]

A Trip To The Frog Pond

Posted in frustration, knitting, tagged , , on May 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »

The Hatfield Sweater was in time-out for a long while because I just wasn’t in the mood to knit. Then I got a case of startitis and restrained myself by resolving to finish the Hatfield before casting on for anything else.  All I had completed was the left front so I dragged it out of [...]

Obligatory Scarf, originally uploaded by pixelpurl.

      This is all I have been capable of lately, a garter-stitch novelty yarn scarf.  Mindless knitting I could take to Wednesday night knitting group and keep up with the chatter.  It’s Trendsetter Yarn’s Dune, a melange of mohair, acrylic, viscose, nylon, and metal.  It is an obligatory scarf [...]

I forgot to post this. The completed Koigu wave scarf. I finished it a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing it. It is 6 feet long and drapes nicely, goes well with my new purple coat. Note the cool fringe.

koigu wave scarf, originally uploaded by pixelpurl.
It looks like a mess now but will be cool when blocked. It’s a fun pattern, easy to memorize. I’ve never made a scarf or done anything remotely lace like so I’m combining 2 firsts in 1 project. This is the project that led [...]

blue tweed raglan, originally uploaded by pixelpurl.

3/4 done and will probably hibernate for a while as I’m tired of looking at it. I think I need to frog the bottom and add a few more inches to the length. As it is I look like a tank when I try it [...]
