Long time, No See

Posted by: Ebony on: January 30, 2007

Obviously.
I’ve been busy taking up a new/old hobby. I haven’t done any knitting since college, but I’ve taken it up as a hobby again. This means I’ve been spending my time learning about all the cool new places on the internet that I can order supplies from, and learning new skills as well. [...]

Blue Garter Stitch Scarf

Posted by: Ebony on: January 30, 2007

I made a quick gift for my mom. Her birthday is coming up at the end of February, and you can always use another scarf in DC. This project went through several incarnations before I ended up with this simple garter stitch pattern. And the great thing is that it works really [...]

Socks

Posted by: Ebony on: January 26, 2007

I don’t know why, but I’ve been procrastinating over posting lately. I think it’s just cause I love blog posts with pictures, and I didn’t have anything photographed. In any case, here I go.
Lately I’ve been working on socks and more socks. I have two different pairs going right now, and have [...]

What kind of knitter are you?

Posted by: Ebony on: January 20, 2007

I don’t know if this is accurate, but it is kinda close. I will admit to having no fear of any technique or yarn, and to loving natural fibers for the most part.

What Kind of Knitter Are You?

You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting and do it all the time. While [...]

What I like about Blogs

Posted by: Ebony on: January 16, 2007

I love looking at other people’s blogs. That’s why I started my own. I find it interesting to watch a project go from an idea in someones mind or a pattern found in a book to a finished object. Part of that is the photographs that people post. Even for lace [...]

Wool Peddler’s Shawl Finished

Posted by: Ebony on: January 15, 2007

Started: Dec 30, 2006
Finished: January 11, 2007
I finally have some progress to show. I have not started on my Russian Faux Stole, as I decided to start with a simpler project and tackle that one later down the road. I did, however, finish the Wool Peddler’s Shawl from Folk Shawls. I’m going [...]

Wool Peddler’s Shawl Progress

Posted by: Ebony on: January 7, 2007

I’ve been working steadily on the Wool Peddler’s Shawl in between casting on and frogging an undisclosed number of socks (actually maybe 4). I can’t decide what I want to work on in that venue, so the shawl has been getting a lot of time. I’m close to the finish line now. [...]

New Year’s Resolutions

Posted by: Ebony on: January 2, 2007

I have three major goals for the new year.
1. Follow my exercise plan religiously. This one is a must. I want to get down to a reasonable weight this year. Not even be skinny, just be more comfortable in my clothes. I love to exercise, I just have to find [...]

Happy New Year!

Hope you have a wonderful new year and get everything done that you want this year.
