My Knitting Basket
Apart from figuring out how to tame the Stash Monster, (i.e. my ridiculous amount of yarn, needles, patterns, books and other notions) I have several things going and planned right now. As I mentioned in a previous entry, I have signed up the the 52 Pair Plunge. I’ve gotten almost nowhere, really, [...]
Bootee number one is complete. Okay. Not complete. Ends to weave in. Washing and “blocking” to do.
The instructions are hilarious. After it goes through the whole pattern, it says:
ALL SIZES: Make second sock to match
UPDATE:
This is on hold until I can get… Dale of Norway’s Baby Ull yarn! I could not get gauge with the other yarn. It is the same weight, but the fiber is different and it just wasn’t knitting up properly. So I am going to wait and use the right yarn. [...]
No, not the TKGA swatches.
I worked one dishcloth out of the pattern booklet and I’m about halfway on another. These are smaller than the 4 I did the last week or so, but they are cute! I will be able to get 2 cloths from one ball of yarn, too. Good deal. The bigger ones [...]
Yup. Still livin’, breathin’, knittin’!!!!!
I have knitted quite a bit, but not blogged about it… which is not completely new, I never kept this blog up well anyway, but it’s been REALY long this time.
My SIL is pregnant, so I have baby knitting going. I have also started poking around on Ravelry again. Much to [...]
I am suffering from knitting monotony. K1, P1, K1, P1…. seed stitch. For forever. And that’s ONE PANEL out of 7. Ugh. It looks great. No doubt about that. I absolutely love the look of seed stitch. I love the feel. I love the thick fabric [...]
I am making a baby afghan using 4 different blues and and off white. It is made up of 4X4 inch squares. I have used garter stitch, seed stitch and a square knit on the bias. I would like to figure out a lacy type of square to add to it. [...]
I love to knit baby things. Most baby things take very little time to finish. They are small. Nearly instant gratification. Of course, I love babies. Love, love, love babies! That’s why I’ve had 6 of my own and tried for many more and even though I’m old-ish, I [...]
This is my "other" blog. My main blog, Become What You Are is about my life and thoughts in general as a Catholic, homeschooling mom of six. This is an attempt at having more space and better organization for when I want to talk about knitting.
Mostly it will be about projects, patterns, yarn, needles and the like, but my faith and my life will find its way in here, too. This is a Catholic Knitter's blog. I hope, at least sometimes, you'll be able to tell.
God bless you!

I rarely edit. I only bother with the big, blinding mistakes. I do see how poor my writing can be. I am not unaware. I am unconcerned.
This is a "RED PEN FREE ZONE!"
Enjoy it anyway!
