  • no time

    GTA bloggers party was fun. Really nice place, nice people, not enough real food but whatever. There got to be a crazy big crowd!

    Anyway, I haven’t got much time to study today – whoops. I’ve got the afternoon, but I’m going out to dinner for my grandfather’s birthday, and then over to my friend’s for some party planning. All this has left no much time for knitting – I’m working on my mom’s capelet and my dad’s scarf, as well as mini charlotte. Oh, and I’ve also decided that I’m going to knit a bobbi bear for my sister. Must find appropriate yarn substitute.

    What a boring entry. ta~

  • it’s cold!

    Just a quick note to say – I’m damn cold! I should try and dress better. Possibly two long-sleeved shirts and then a sweater. Or better yet, something wooly…

    I’ve gotten a bit more done on my dad’s scarf. I’m doing a slipped stitch edging, but I didn’t realize beforehand that slipping the stitch where the rest of the scarf is garter st causes the edge to ruffle a little (the edge stitch is taller than the garter rows). But it looks fine when I stretch it out. So, I’m just going to continue, make sure I don’t make it overly long, and then block out some more length.

    I’ve also gotten a bit done on my mom’s capelet – about an inch on 3.75 mm needles and double-stranded laceweight. Once I switch to the larger needles it should go faster. I love the Blue Heron mercerized cotton – it’s so silky and slide-y!

    Still thinking about JaggerSpun Wool/Silk on Cones, in Vanilla, from redbirdknits…..for Cozy. YUM. I have been thinking a lot about Clapotis, too. I have my skein of Silken all wound up and ready to go, but no time!

    Argh. Anyway, off to try and read some bio before turning in! Stay warm.

  • the enabler strikes again
