That’s right. I’ve progressed so far on the Mud Flap tank that you can see all her goodies! Check it ouuuut . . .
It looks pretty good for my first attempt at intarsia but since I modified the pattern to do it in the round, it was interesting figuring out. I’ve since switched to back [...]
Plugging away on Mud Flap girl – I’ve made all the decreases and tonight will get to the increases and maybe even the intarsia. Eeek!
Yesterday we went to a boaters swap meet – a bunch of sailors lay out all their junk in hopes some other sailor wants said junk. They usually start pretty early [...]
Progress is slow on Betty Lou’s Mud Flap Girl Tank. I started it a week or more ago as instructed in the pattern – on straights with 80 Cotton/20 Merino yarn. I took it to U-Knitty on Sunday and whipped out about 5″ of stockinette, back and forth, knit and purl. When I got home, [...]
This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want.
Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you’ll be better prepared to [...]
I’m on deadline so I can’t write much but I did get the Uruguaian yarn yesterday.
Pearl Ten, Velvet Grapes & Misty Morning (or something like that):
Pearl Ten (my new sweater):
Velvet Grapes:
Misty Morn (or whatever it’s called):
Once I’m off deadline (next week), I’ll do a full report on the yarns with swatches and comparisons to Malabrigo.
I just got back from our weekly SnB at a local Starbucks. What a horrible start to the day! We meet every Sunday from 10-12 and it’s usually fairly quiet during that time. After the morning rush, before the lunch rush. There are several tables and one couch w/ a couple soft chairs available, which [...]
Jody from the U-Knitty group gave me a great big cake of the most colorful uber-bulky yarn a few weeks ago. I’ve been looking at it and looking at it, trying to decide what its destiny is. I finally decided to it was meant to be a hat. It could could also just as easily [...]
As I mentioned previously, the gauge swatch for the Mud Flap Girl Tank was off so last night I reknit it using #5s. Perfecto! I really wish I’d taken pix of the swatches to show the difference. Oh well.
I managed to crank out a few rows last night after working late and having dinner out [...]
Here’s my new sweater. Thanks to Tina’s mad math skills, I ordered the correct yardage from Serendipity in South America, a co-op in Uruguay that sells on eBay and, according to Knitter’s Review, wholesales Malabrigo. In essence, this is Malabrigo, without the label. For a fraction of the cost – say about half. The color [...]
I found this meme on someone else’s blog and thought I’d fill it out so my new Secret Pal could get to know me a little better.
I’ve been hooked on the needles since…
February 2005. I took a one hour “how to knit” class and have been addicted ever since.
I’m still a virgin, but not for [...]
