KNITTING BLOGGITY GOODNESS

Am sure that now that pink-n-green is EVERYWHERE, I will tire of it shortly. Until then...

I was looking over old blog stuff tonight. My main blog, nance's stuff, seems to have taken quite the shift over the course of its journey. Especially since I have decided to allow knitting to consume most of my energy.

So the time is now for the knitting to get its own blog. Not that I won't comment on the stuff blog about knitting, but I can really let 'er fly here.

Soooooooooooooooooooo...
SEX today...Michael's for some dishrag cotton (Sugar-n-Creme) that I like to practice new patterns on, and my mom loves knitted dishrags, ribbon yarn to try out the ballet slippers in Simple Knits With a Twist, some stitch markers and a cabling needle that was on clearance.

Online SEX included the first foray into knitpicks.com. I bought brown Merino wool to make...la la la! My First Sweater. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Swearing will surely follow. Am also trying out some bargain priced alpaca and alpaca silk. Will foray into lace, as v cute scarf was pic'd in Last Minute Knitted Gifts.

Soooooooooo...some of the works in progress...
--purse; Zeeby's bag from SnB, but made out of Moda Dea TuTu in pear and pink and purple
--scarf; regular garter stitch scarf made out of Crystal Palace Squiggle and Fizz
--shawl; Crystal Palace Raggedy, knit lengthwise in garter and drop stitch
--scarf; third time is the charm for the Berocco Denim Silk, garter and dropstitch
--poncho; is already knit in furry yarn--asymetrical big triangle--just needs sewing

Am clearly Maggie Righetti overachiever. She says keep two projects going at once. I got that beat and then some.

Planned projects...
--wool shawl/giant scarf; to be made from Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky (yeah, I already bought the yarn)
--baby booties
--hat for my cousin who shaved her head because of chemo; I really should bump this project to the top of my list
--socks; I want to learn to make socks
--brown merino cardigan

Yes, I could go on.

But all I have really succeeded in doing tonight is more avoidance of the grading of the student papers.

At least I got to write about knitting.
