Knitting Sweaters & Sitting Still: November 2014
http://knittingsitting.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Knitting Sweaters and Sitting Still. People can get a thrill. Sunday, November 30, 2014. I managed to do a LOT of knitting this week! I finished the body of the sweater up to 18 inches. I originally knitted up to 18.5 inches based on my memory of reading the notes from Jeff's version. I'm not sure what kind of collar to make. For Jeff's, I did a 1x1 ribbed collar twice as long as needed and then sewed it back under. But this is a little small for my big head. I still have some time to think t...After cra...

NOT JUST ABOUT KNITTING: January 2015
http://www.notjustaboutknitting.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 January 2015. Yarn Shopping En Route. Driving 3400km isn't all hard work. This year, we have a couple of extra days to kill before picking up our condo key on South Padre Island. For once, we are taking our time driving through Texas, stopping at places of interest to us. Today the plan was to stop at La Grange, halfway between San Antonio and Houston, to visit a fabric and yarn shop, The Quilted Skein. That looked very inviting on line. And the yarn on the other side. And what did I buy?

Thursday, October 31, 2013. First, the Cute Baby Picture. My Favorite Pirate.Jake and the Neverland Pirates as played by DGS for Halloween. I have been knitting and crocheting quite a bit, in fact, I having been reading as much as I usually do because I have been doing so much needlework. Here is an adorable Giraffe Lovey. I made him with yarn I already had in my stash (Score! Of ends to sew in and. Stuffing the Giraffe Antlers was a pain in the Giraffe butt. I mean, oh, too bad.). In 15 32" and I have t...

Knitting Sweaters & Sitting Still: April 2015
http://knittingsitting.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Knitting Sweaters and Sitting Still. People can get a thrill. Sunday, April 19, 2015. I finished up the second installment of my springtime throw pillow project today. Or at least I. Like some surgeon on TV. Instead, I stopped for a few calming deep breaths and a picture before moving on. Disaster averted. Did I mention that the cables have started separating from the old Knit Picks interchangeable needles I got that when I first started knitting? But all's well that ends well. And I think this is. And c...

Knitting Sweaters & Sitting Still: Texas Two-Step
http://knittingsitting.blogspot.com/2015/03/texas-two-step.html
Knitting Sweaters and Sitting Still. People can get a thrill. Saturday, March 28, 2015. I decided to return to one of my Charlene Schurch books,. More Sensational Knitted Socks. There are several stranded patterns in this book that I haven't tried. And with good reason. They take twice the yarn and are thus twice as warm as normal handknit socks. Not exactly necessary in Texas. But some of the patterns intrigued me, and I had just purchased two skeins of yarn that would work well together. Tagged: cold p...

Knitting Sweaters and Sitting Still. People can get a thrill. Friday, December 26, 2014. In the Winter, When It Drizzles. Greetings, from the City of Light! Germany and France have been beautiful, and thankfully, the only wet weather we're likely to have is tonight. We had a soggy walk back and forth to dinner. This evening, but it was well worth it. Things will be a bit drier, if colder, for the rest of our stay here in Paris. I had a bit of a challenge blocking it in a damp German winter, and it might ...

Knitting Sweaters and Sitting Still. People can get a thrill. Saturday, July 25, 2015. We Come Round Right. To raise money for renting the space and catering some of the food, relatives bring handmade items to be auctioned off in a silent auction - or maybe not so silent - we are talking about Weavers here. Items can run the gamut from preserves and jams, to handmade quilts and wooden toys, My contribution this year is a set, or possibly two sets, of Shaker Dishcloths. Sizes a few summers back. Then I ju...
