Month: October 2006

  • with the promise of more doughnuts to come

    Oy. The days, they pass, and I don’t get nearly enough done. A quick update on things…no photos today.

    School:
    Well. Have I mentioned that the week following Rhinebeck I have three midterms and a project due? Yeah. Gotta get on that. School’s freaking me out, man. Seriously.

    Spinning:
    I left the wheel at the store this week, and probably will do the same this upcoming week – I’ve been teaching wheel classes, and it’s not so fun to be hauling the Lendrum around on the TTC – even with the case and everything. It’s good to have removed a distraction, but I still need to spin up a colour or two for my Rhinebeck sweater! The green I dyed isn’t quite turning out how I wanted, so I’m not sure how it’ll compliment the other colours I’ve done. I’m definitely going to be spinning up some mustard yellow though, hopefully next Wednesday and Thursday.

    Knitting:
    I’m almost done the body on the Rhinebeck sweater (up to the armholes), then it’s onto the sleeves. I’ve been working on figuring out what colourwork to do, but I really need to break out the pencil crayons and graph paper. It’s going really well though, and I think the sleeves will go fast. Yay handspun.

    I’m up to the heel on a purple Trekking sock, so it’s almost (as soon as I get some sunlight) short row tutorial time. I promise.

    Other Current Knitting:
    – Lucy II
    – 2 pairs of socks (handspun and Trekking)
    – black alpaca sweater (booooring)
    – grey cabled cardi from Vogue – two sleeves done, cast on for the back…I really need this sweater to wear!

    Oh, I want to knit so many nice things. Alas…the time, I must learn how to bend it. I’ll be back soon. With pictures!
