Finished Object: Jaywalker Anklets

Posted in 2008 Finished Objects, tagged , , , , , , , on February 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Just 9 days of knitting, and these socks are the result. Only my second pair of adult-size socks, and I’m really happy with how they turned out. There was just enough yarn leftover from the Chevron Scarf to make these (actually, with a few grams of each colorway to spare!). This is a fun but [...]

So… of course I couldn’t wait very long to start another knitting project. Cast on for the Jaywalker Anklets at the start of the Daytona 500 on Sunday. As I mentione in my previous post, I’m using the Araucania Ranco leftover from my Chevron Scarf (Ravelry link — login required). I’m switching colors every four [...]

Odessa has been filed under “FO” — already!

Well, I figured I was so close to being finished with my beaded and striped version of Odessa that I would just stay up a little later Saturday night and finish it off. I ended up finishing it off somewhere between 12:30 and 1:00 AM Sunday morning. (!!!) There were some goofy spots where I [...]

I keep on knitting, and I just can’t stop.

Having finished the infant caps I’d been working on for more than two years (off and on… mostly off, considering it took me more than two years), it was time to start the next project. I really want to make another pair of socks, but I don’t have the right size needles for the Jaywalkers [...]

Productive knitting and and trying new (to me) things.

Sorry, no new photos to share this time. Just a quick report that I am (finally) nearly through all of the yarn for the Reading Hospital infant caps. The one I’m working on now will be the last one from this bunch — I’m still questioning whether there’s enough yarn to 1) make the pompom [...]

Finished socks for Billy!

Posted in 2008 Finished Objects, tagged , , , on February 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Wow. Baby socks have the potential to become very addictive. They’re lightning-fast to make and just Too. Damn. Cute. Here are the finished socks for my nephew Billy. They’re a little bigger than the test sock. Possibly just a hair too big right now, but he’ll grow into them pretty fast if they’re not just [...]

Scarf? Done! Moving on to something new!

I finished the Chevron Scarf just after the Giants kicked New England’s patootie on Sunday night (I wasn’t so much rooting for the Giants to win, as I was rooting for New England to lose). No FO pictures of that one yet — gotta wash and block first because it’s rolling so much it looks [...]

Socks & scarf update.

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on February 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Well, I’m happy to report that the Chevron Scarf is now 75% finished! I guess it does knit up quickly. (Well, really, anything does when you avoid things like household chores, working out, and all other hobbies in favor of knitting.) I’m looking forward to finishing it so that I can WEAR it… and then [...]
