    leaving on a jet plane

    I’m off for a few days for Indianapolis for work – my first time flying alone. It’s going to be interesting. At least it’s a short flight (I’m not so much into the flying), just 95 minutes. Long enough to watch an episode of Buffy (season 5) on my laptop and do a little knitting.

    I have excellent plane knitting – super yummy Manos silk blend in a nice olive.

    Ribbing doesn’t look like much, but it’s 218 stitches! I’m really rather excited about this design idea. I hope it works out. To combat pilling and wear I went straight to 3.5 mm needles, which produces just over 6 stitches per inch. It’s so nice to knit with!

    I’ll be back in a few days. Hopefully regular posting will resume soon!

  • Vino errata

    It’s come to my attention that there is a small error in the Vino Cardigan pattern!

    Under “Left Front”, the instruction says “Next row: k across to last 12 sts, (p2, k2) twice, k2.” This is incorrect. It should say:

    Next row: k across to last 12 sts, (p2, k2) three times.

    If anyone would like a corrected version of the pattern, please email me with the email address used to purchase the pattern, and I’ll send it right out.

    Apologies for any confusion!

    My Button Raglan is today’s entry in the 2008 Stitch ‘n Bitch Page-A-Day Calendar! The content of the calendar seems pretty good, although I’m not sooo hot on the format (each page is completely individual, with no way to flip through, and if you dropped/lost a page or something you’d be screwed). My first on-paper in print!

    Hope your Valentine’s Day was good. I’m not such a huge Valentine’s person, but that isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy it anyway! I did get a pretty awesome plant.
