Do you even knit anymore? June 10, 2007

Filed under: Socks, sweater — karrie @ 11:20 am

It seems like it has been a long time since I even showed you any knitting. But I am working on a few projects.

My Central Park Hoodie has a completed back, and I am working on one of the front pieces.

I accepted the fact that I am not a sock designer and ripped out this single sock that I designed myself.

It was too small for even me, and I somehow made the pattern almost impossible to size (and sock patterns without a S, M, and L size are one of my pet peeves). So the lovely STR will be reincarnated as a better fitting sock.

And I compeleted exactly half of a project by casting off one lonely sock.


Regia Canadian color #4733; 3 x 1 rib - my own pattern

And I do think the casting off was the best part. Why didn’t anyone tell me about the picot bind off featured in knitty? As a toe-up knitter, I was pretty happy to find these instructions and make a cute little bind off on these socks.

There. I have been knitting. Don’t forget about my contest - Midnight Pacific time tonight (sat june 10) is the cut off, so please tell me about your favorite knitting/crafting tool/material. I love reading all of the comments!

Christmas kitties January 5, 2007

Filed under: Karrie's Current Projects, Socks — karrie @ 4:15 pm

This past Christmas season, I had the opportunity to hang out with some fine felines while their owners were away. the first is my neighbor, Pablo.

He enjoyed chewing on my knitting during our afternoon ‘People’s Court’ dates.

The second is Emma. She is still a bit of a kitty and is tiny and cute cute cute. I am trying to set her up on a date with Apollo.

I decided that though I often think I really want a cat, i am pretty content to have one for only 1 week of the year.

On the knitting front, I made some progress on a nice pair of toe-up socks in regia Canadian Color (#4733)
