• Can Canada Post do it?

    I was just about to cast on for my first ChicKami (purchased, of course, from ChicKnits in some blue Bernat CottonTots when I realized that I don’t have a number 5 needle to do the ribbing – my Denise needle snapped last week and I’m still waiting for my replacement. I have high hopes that it will come in the mail tomorrow so I’ll have something easy and summery (as in, not a black ribbed cardigan) to knit at a party tomorrow night.

    I also hope to get my package from Elann. The last box from them was shipped on Monday and got to my house on Friday, so I’m hoping it’s the same this time. Then I can start my Bella cardie from White Lies Designs.

    I finished the skirt! I’ll get someone to take some pictures of it tomorrow night and send them to me, so I’ll have something to post. It fits well in the waist, and the eyelets are very pretty. The bottom eyelet portion does sort of a strange wavy thing, but it’s kind of growing on me. Pics soon!

  • Grand old time…

    …was had at lettuce knit tonight at Stitch ‘n Bitch! I haven’t been there in a few weeks (for s’n b) because it was a hassle to go all the way downtown just for it. The next three Wednesdays though, I’ll be working Brenna’s shifts, so I’ll have no reason not to stay. Tonight I got to meet Kelly, Stephanie, and Aven!

    I’m rather surprised that Joyce and Aven had already found my blog – I think being part of the GTA knitbloggers ring really helped with that. And I actually have comments! Let’s see if I can get by blog into the big ring (it’s being capped at 500 sites, and new blogs must be at least a month old). And Joyce – some of my livejournal is, well, it’s downright depressing. Be forewarned.

    Actual knitting content – I’m still working away on the Eyelet skirt, but I’m getting there. Between tonight and tomorrow during the day (I have school at night), I should be able to finish this one on time. Based on advice given tonight, I’m going to go with the green for the crochet edging on Charlotte…definitely by the weekend, if not sooner.

    off to grab a drink and watch me some Law & Order. Love that show.

  • Darn that financial situation.

    I’ve decided that I should exchange the Koigu Kersti that I bought to knit a top-down raglan sweater. It’s beauuutiful, but I really can’t justify that kind of money for one project, when I can trade in 4 skeins of it for a whole 10 balls of Mission Falls wool, which is also lovely (and superwash!). A few skeins are already wound into balls though, so I’ll just have to make some mittens and hats from it :) I’ll just exchange it back with the store as I need to, starting with some Mission Falls wool for a sweater on Friday, the next day I’m in.

    Still working away on the eyelet skirt – I’m up to the eyelet section of the second half, so I should be done tomorrow or Thursday. I also need to do the crochet edging for Charlotte’s Web – problem is that I definitely don’t have enough of the last colour to do the edging with, so I’ll either have to do one of the other colours or get a new skein. The colours that I used, from top to bottom, are a yellow, a green, a brownish-orange, a burgundy, and a blue. I think maybe I’ll use the green for the edging.
