  • riiiiipity rip

    Well. I was knitting along on my Ultra Alpaca sweater from a few posts ago, and I got up to the underarm – only to realize that while I’d planned the bow spacing correctly, I hadn’t actually knitted it that way. The spacing made it very difficult to work back and forth, which I need to do above the underarm.

    While I’m at it, I think I’ll make it into a cardigan – I just don’t wear pullovers very much, and I’ve been feeling overheated really often lately. So, farewell, 15″ of Ultra Alpaca sweater:

    riiiiiip

    At least I can make sure it comes out the way I want, right?

  • knit-swe-thingy

    Right-o. So it’s blog posting month, and sweater knitting month, and I’m a bit wishy washy about both! I must admit, seeing lots of new posts from old blog friends is inspiring me to blog more myself, which is definitely a plus.

    As for the sweater? Well, I’ve got a couple on the go already, what’s one more? This is as far as I’ve gotten:

    Dream in Color Classy

    Got some yarn. Dream in Color Classy in Tea Party. I do have an idea as well, which is really half the battle! I’m going to swatch this up today and see where it goes. Meanwhile, I’m finishing up another pair of socks out of Classy leftovers.

    Worsted weight socks sure are quick and fun! This one is 48 sts on 3.5mm needles, toe up with a short row heel.

  • suddenly it’s november

    I love the chill in the air and pulling out my woollens, but the end of the year is coming up so fast! Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough time to breathe before the next project/to-do/event/etc comes up.

    Back at Rhinebeck, I started a new sweater out of Ultra Alpaca –

    new sweater

    Should be lovely and cozy. I think I’ve decided to start another sweater for NaKniSweMo, but I’d like to get this one done too! I’m also knitting lots and lots of socks.

    I’d love to get back to blogging more regularly, and I’ve got patterns for you too! Several sweaters (including my Rhinebeck ones) and some accessories too. Unfortunately I took a bit of a spill last night and ended up with a pretty big gash on my chin, so photoshoots might be a bit challenging! But a cowl can cover it up, right?
