Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Saturday, May 09, 2009. 30 for this really cool ring. It's some kind of glass in a sterling setting. Heavy and big and in your face. I just love it. Of course it goes with every thing I own. This is a shibori scarf in great shades of blue. Honestly I don't (didn't) own a blue scarf. Susan Ellis designed and dyed the scarf. Here's here info. Check out her etsy site. I have such great children.

Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Thursday, April 30, 2009. We went to the student banquet. I do hope you saw the flowers in yesterday's blog. akabini. Has even better pics on her blog. First I won Margaret Fisher's new book about detailed techniques to make or break a sweater. She has taught this course for years, so I will be interested to read for any tricks or tips I might not know. 5 And my favorite gift- a kit from ArtFelt...

Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Muffalettas , More Yarn, and Latvian knits. I knit something different. This will be muffalettas for Steve- if he is good. Last yarn purchase of the trip. Handmaiden Sea Silk. Bought this at My Sister Knits in Fort Collins. I guess this will be a shawl. After all, that was the focus of this year's class and I have a design almost finished. Finally, Linda's Latvian colle...

Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Thursday, October 30, 2008. Cold Air, Warm Feet. I'm in love again. It's been at least one entire winter without felted clogs and I had forgotten that special feeling. I only have them now because of a failure to check the felting process and the fact I have very short (insubstantially short) feet. Be sure to answer correctly here.). I use the old FiberTrends pattern which I have rewritten so it...

Merely a Suggestion: On the needles--too much
http://merelyasuggestion.blogspot.com/2009/05/on-needles-too-much.html
Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Sunday, May 10, 2009. On the needles- too much. This is from my top down class. I've done most of the short rows for the bustline. The quasi-sweetheart neckline is a new one for me. I simply increase two sts every other row instead of one. I wanted a slightly higher neckline so my necklace would not get lost. It's in Sockotta by Plymouth. This is Louet Euroflax and I am adapting the Sasha skirt ...

Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. I learned to spin on a wheel- actually an 18th c. reproduction at a local history site-. I'm a fair hand at it. I spin by the seat of my pants. No math, no data, just two ply sport and dk weight yarns. Bought it; couldn't spin with it. We all knew it wasn't the spindle that was the problem. That's how I do it at the wheel. Duh. She said, "Park and drive.". This seacell i...

Her speech last night was magnificent. But when she said, "Did you do this just for me? Another over and done. All but three inches on the front. When did I first suspect this was not going to work. Three quarters of the way through the back side. Yes, way long ago. Posted by Jane Prater. Wednesday, August 20, 2008.

Merely a Suggestion: Local Art
http://merelyasuggestion.blogspot.com/2009/05/local-art.html
Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Monday, May 11, 2009. This sculpture is a public piece in Athens, Georgia. I couldn't get any info on it. It looked up close as if it had been sculpted out of duct tape- -but it was metallic hard. It is amazing. My favorite moment was watching two 8 year old boys in baseball uniforms looking at it. They were mesmerized. Art and athletics. Nice combo. Posted by Jane Prater. Yea, I knit.

Random musings of a true knitting anarchist who finds the problem solving to be the best thing about knitting. Thursday, February 26, 2009. First, thanks for the awesome suggestions for my Greek list. It will be so much better than it was. I started to take pictures as Jennifer unloaded, but then I decided to wait so as not to frustrate this weekend's participants. Also didn't want anyone to see the yarn I have already put back for me - hee- hee. Check out her website. Posted by Jane Prater. I found this...
