Euroknit: February 2010
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Finally a day off (thanks to dh! After a crazy few weeks or month at work. So I have a few hours to dilly-dally away at the computer at home and post my latest projects. Yes, we had snow in Texas. So I was borrowing the leg warmers I had made for my daughter, since they apparently are not quite cool enough for her! She modeled them for the blog, but has not worn them outside the house yet. I have, though! And they match the two hand muffs I made with left-over yarn stash:.

Euroknit: Monkey-ing Around
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010/05/monkey-ing-around.html
Saturday, May 22, 2010. My vest-shawl thingy has not made too much progress yet. I do work on it enough here and there not to forget how the pattern works, but it's still a long way from being done. But then again, here in Texas, I really won't need it until it gets colder again, which is, like, in November, if we are lucky! The socks I finished are done, though. Seems like I can always whip a pair out in between. So, another pair of socks for my stash. Opal sock yarn. The next request was for "Ellie Ele...

Euroknit: It never comes out the way you think...
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010/10/it-never-comes-out-way-you-think.html
Saturday, October 16, 2010. It never comes out the way you think. Well, I wonder why? Because I never have the yarn that's in the pattern, or not enough, or because I refuse to follow instructions? Or a little bit of everything? I am reading Adrienne Martini's Sweater Quest. Right now, and one of the questions she poses is how much a knitter can alter a pattern before it's not that pattern any more. Okay, enough musing. Remember the 14 skeins of Berroco Cliche. Color Krispie Treat and the DROPS Design.

Euroknit: August 2010
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 7, 2010. I spent two weeks in Vancouver, Canada. Beautiful! Great scenery, great weather, great people, great food, lots of stuff to do and see. And best of all, vacation! It's a beautiful picture, and even our girls had fun with it. In fact, they were the ones who finished it up:. Okay, so since I was afraid that airport security would take my knitting needles away from me, I only brought sock stuff, knitted with wooden needles. I finished one pair of short socks. Dpn 4: k to the last s...

Euroknit: Mayfest, time to work in the garden
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010/05/mayfest-time-to-work-in-garden.html
Saturday, May 1, 2010. Mayfest, time to work in the garden. Anyway, I did knit, too! I have been working on this really cool vest/shawl. The original inspiration as. 96-13 Loosely knitted top in Puddel. I found the pattern on Ravelry. But it is available for free at the above link. However, I completely changed the yarn from the original pattern . Instead of the suggested. DROPS Puddel from Garnstudio. 400-450-500 g colour no 07, medium grey,. It's really quite an easy design:. Row 1 of Pattern:. I had b...

Euroknit: September 2009
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. Confessions of a Sporadic Knitter. I can't believe I have not posted anything since March. I have a lot of different excuses. Somehow, knitting, in my old German mind, is for cold days, long winters. And since I live in Texas, I have a hard time getting the knitting needles out in the summer. So, at least I made some summer fare. Technically, not knitting, but at least some form of handy-craft. Flip-flops for all the summer visitors (Alicia modeling a pair):. Which brings us to.

Euroknit: October 2009
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Gotta hurry and get my Socktoberfest entry in. I did actually knit a few pairs of socks this month. A pair for Theresa's birthday. A pair for Katrina (sh. she doesn't know yet). And a pair of little toe socks. Isn't she just the most adorable little thing? Btw, the doggy in the background is Woody, a Shar Pei mix, who is desperately looking for a permanent home. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Austin, Texas, United States.

Euroknit: June 2010
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. Done, done, and done! Here, again, is the front part of the yard:. As you can see, I desperately need the plants to grow :). This is the side of the house where the truck had dumped the 12 yards of gravel. You can still see a tiny little elevation with a little extra gravel (for those remaining 10% of the work, remember? But I am done working on the yard for now and wanted to leave it looking somewhat "done.". Too bad my husband is missing out (he is out of town). Oh, and I forgot ...

Euroknit: September 2010
http://euroknit.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. The shawl/wrap/vest thingy. Actually, it's an adaptation of the DROPS Design. 96-13 loosely knitted top in Puddel. Except, of course, I didn't use their Puddle yarn, but the Vinca #810. Blue-purple-vine marbled), and I used the crocus bud pattern, which, by the way, I really like. Haven't actually worn it yet. Desperately waiting for weather cool enough to be able to tolerate something a little warmer. Color Krispie Treat. It's really nice! I found this DROPS Design. I created...
