  • a little something

    koigu cardi

    Something missing from this cardigan on the needles? A second sleeve?

    I really want to finish this cardigan soon – I think it could see a lot of wear this spring. Just a little sort of shrunken thing, out of Koigu. The second sleeve is almost done, then it’s yoke time, baby!

  • the almost-boston sweater

    I just finished binding off the collar of my black Terra sweater – the one I didn’t manage to finish before heading off to Boston.

    I love it so much! It still needs a gooooood washing/blocking (the black came off a bit on my hands and needles), and when it hits the water it’ll relax a bit as well. I did a couple of additional hip increases on this one, so it actually fits over my beer-and-cheese belly without stretching out over the back.

    More notes and finished photos once I’ve done a load of sweater laundry.

    YIP: February 24

    I finished my socks! As I predicted, once I got down to it, the second one only took about a day and half to finish.

    Fail: I was motoring along on my black Terra sweater, getting ready to finish it up tonight and block it so I could wear it tomorrow. Body and sleeves totally done, one buttonband done. Fits awesomely. I go to get the last skein of yarn to wind….

    …and I left it at work. Booooo.

    I guess it’s being left behind while I take off to Boston for a week!
