BYOB from Knitty.com

nobody@vox.com(Techknitly) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:02:47 +0000

I started casting on for my BYOB this evening, not for the actual bag, just the gauge swatch. I'm using Comfy yarn from Knitpicks.com and this yarn totally shows any inconsistencies in tension. I can just tell that it's going to drive me insane!...

a finished sweater and some random stuff

nobody@vox.com(abigailvr) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:21:57 +0000

My dishcloth mania seems to have abated. I'm actually picking up other projects. I got the ball of yarn I needed for Ivana's socks, started them and then had to rip them out because my gauge for Panda Cotton has changed (huh??) and they were too h...

My Nana's Blankies

nobody@vox.com(Jake & Josh's Mum) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:30:39 +0000

Im so proud of my Nana. She has such a great heart. She knit the boys some baby blankets when they were first born- pretty white blankets- that the boys carry everywhere. Needless to say, they are now holey and threadbare. So Jake asked Nana ...

QotD: My Day Is...

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:08:09 +0000

What is the one word that perfectly describes your day today? submitted by [this is connie] I think the word "bestsundayever" fits it best. We slept in, lazed about... Went to Petsmart to get some treats... Then knitted and lazed about... Then we...

Welcome to Retroville!

nobody@vox.com(plumdearly) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 15:14:33 +0000

I've been encouraging the kids to be creative on the weekends instead of shrinking their brains playing video games, so yesterday's creativity sparked Retroville. This little town was Z's creation. He had an airport, a train station, downt...

This Week's Stashy Goodness!!!

nobody@vox.com(Toni) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:55:11 +0000

So yeah, I know what you're probably thinking-"Gee, Toni went really overboard with the yarn buying this week! So much for her stash-busting." I know it seems like a lot. Hell, even I was a little surprised to tally up this weeks' purchases and...

I've finally received my invitation from ravelry.com !!! Woohoo! I've only been stalking the site since I put my name on the waiting list. I'm so excited :) I've been going a little knitting crazy lately. That's what happens when I take two mon...

Chapstick, anyone?

nobody@vox.com(Life With Cats) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:18:53 +0000

It took about six hours total 'cause I'm still a slow knitter, but here is the completed Chapstick holder. It perfectly fits a Chapstick and I'll be sure to use it at work. I also know exactly what I want to do differently for the next one!

What has 6 legs, lays eggs, and feeds on your scalp?

nobody@vox.com(plumdearly) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 22:13:39 +0000

Ding ding ding ding! LICE! Holy crap. What a week. I have cried, laughed, cried and cried some more. Who knew persistant little bugs could drive a woman to tears? Z came home from school with a full head of lice 10 days ago and it has been a ci...

Another Day, Another Complicated Knitting Project

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:13:20 +0000

Never again in my life will I be such a prolific knitter. Another baby sweater, like the brown one I made earlier and using the leftover yarn from the scarf I just made, plus some buttery-colored acrylic yarn.

Current knitting project

nobody@vox.com(Jackie) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:21:40 +0000

So I call myself a fiber artist but I haven't written anything about it. Guess I need to get on the ball here and post something fiber-ish. Well, since Markku came home with Carmen, I haven't had the time to do anything fiber-ish. Even back bef...

Purple things for me

nobody@vox.com(triskellian) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:43:55 +0000

Bellatrix FO pics! They look more twisted than they feel, which is ideal. What's not ideal is the obvious colour difference despite matching dye lots :-( Still, perfect matchingness isn't high on my list of priorities, and I love them. And there'...

Presents for inlaws

nobody@vox.com(triskellian) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:33:49 +0000

Baby socks: quickest thing to knit ever. Started on Tuesday evening, finished this morning. And the Lorna's Laces rainbow which looks so lovely in the skein and so horrible knitted up actually works in a garment this tiny. Especially on the heel ...

Long time no post

nobody@vox.com(squelchbaker) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:01:04 +0000

So yeah. Title should explain everything. Not that I have any devoted readers who like have my blog on an RSS feed or anything like that, so it really shouldn't matter that much. In fact, I may be switching to blogger as a regular thing. Everyone'...

dishcloth mania continues

nobody@vox.com(abigailvr) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:45:49 +0000

I'm not sure why I'm so into dishcloths right now, but I am. I think it's the practically instant gratification, especially when they are crocheted. In any case, I have finished three more since my last post. The green and white and blue and wh...
