This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. Well, I said I would post an update on the baby sweater, and here it is. It's almost done! My next project will be another shrug - the braided cable shrug, seen here. In Blue Sky Cotton. This is going to be a gift for a friend, and I'm excited to get it started! In other news, today I had a radically productive day. As we are soon moving to a smaller apartment in the fall, we need to get rid of stuff! Posted by Lynn at 6:30 PM. They are making a ...

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. What's been taking up all my free time? I'm currently making a shrug with bell sleeves, out of this crazy recycled yarn made from left-over sari fibers (mostly silk). I got it on ebay, and the same type of yarn in my nearby fave knitting shop. Is of much better quality. Well, i suppose you get what you pay for. That's ok, I'm learning, and the stuff I got wasn't too terrible. I'm about half done with the shrug. Posted by Lynn at 11:07 PM.

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. Ok, I'm totally infatuated with Wendy's new Ranch Tooth. It's adorable! And has a very silly voice. All it says is "Ranch". Dan thinks I'm nuts. I love that it has a different expression in each scene, too. One of the commercials on google video. Posted by Lynn at 10:33 PM. Actually, it's been completed for a while, but it took a while to get coordinated enough to get my darling husband to take the photos! Posted by Lynn at 10:14 PM.

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. So, this weekend was rather depressing. It started out mild, but cloudy on Saturday, but as soon as I was ready to go out, it started raining. SO, no biking this weekend. grrrrr. We did get to check out the new Hyde Park Art Center. Anyway, here's a pic of our orchid that we got 2 years ago, and finally bloomed again! It lives in the shower. Posted by Lynn at 8:03 PM. I'm a bad blogger). Yes, it's true. I'm a terrible blogger! So, that's the knit...

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. OMG: the COOLEST knitting needles ever! So, looking at my Make Magazine Blog.

I see these three great pics of needles lit up entirely, and just at the tips. VERY COOL. Can you imagine how much more knitting could be done on a road trip at night? Posted by Lynn at 11:47 PM.

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. So, after all the hype, I've finally made my own version of Clapotis. I love the yarn I used, which I picked up at Stitches Midwest in August. I used a Brooks Farm. I'm still working on the Kyoto. Sweater from Knitty, but I'm on the sleeves, and it's just stockinette, so I've been doing other projects in between (like Clapotis! I did steam-iron block some of the other pieces today, which felt good. Maybe that will motivate me to get it done!

Today, riding downtown, then up Lake Shore Drive to Bryn Mawr, then back south to Jackson, and then on to a breakfast place near our apt, the Sunrise Cafe (about 23 mi? We got up before 5am to do this, so by the time we got home, showered, and ran errands, it was 12:30pm and I was beat! Have a great Memorial Day tomorrow. We'll be at a noon barbeque.

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. My friend at work has been wearing this hat all season, but I just realized what the design was. I think the picture says it all. Do you think they sell patterns of stuff like this? Posted by Lynn at 9:29 PM. So, I'm finished with my first sweater. It was a fabulous success! I only blocked the bottom "shirttail" hem, but that's the only part that was really curling wrong. I debuted it last week on Wednesday knitting night. Hooray! I'm making it o...

This blog catalogs some things I've made. Mostly knitting. Hiatus. over, I hope! Anyway, I hope to get back on a normal schedule soon. Classes started this week, which is good. I hope to still attend Wednesday night knitting at Nina's at least semi-regularly, and I've been invited to a new knitting group on Tuesday nights. Fun! So, I will be posting more progress on my sweater soon. In other news, I really like alpaca fibers. And speaking of alpacas, I just saw this interesting analysis of alpacas.
