I have more FOs and more patterns. In my Christmas knitting this year there were plans for a number of market bags, to be filled with sundry items (like soaps, wine, other knitted items…). Emboldened by the success of my scarves I determined to try my hand at bag designing. The resulting four bag [...]

All things considered this has been a productive few days. I’m making progress on the zombie, from which I am taking a break to blog. And there have been FOs and progress on WIPs. And I got my library card, New Brunswick has a fully integrated province wide library system… what a fantastic [...]
Pre-Season FOs
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged christmas, FO, gifts, mittens, specs on August 31, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It is currently pre-season… for football (yeah!!), for Christmas knitting, for school here (which starts next Tuesday), and fall, which appears to have asserted itself this week; and FOs are piling up, which is never a bad thing. This weekend I finished S.’s hood, a BSJ, and the first of 8 thrummed mittens for Christmas.

Work In Progress

Pretty much everything I doing right now is a work in progress.
There’s the scarf (for which I am not only working the chart upside down, I -being new to the whole double knitting thing- apparently did not finish the edges right and the only thing holding the edges together is the fact of the yarn [...]
