WIP #1
Posted by: Ebony on: November 10, 2009
I’m going to try posting more regularly, or at least once a week. First up, my current sock project is Vortex by Chrissy Gardiner from the book Toe Up! Patterns and Worksheets to Whip Your Sock Knitting into Shape. I got mine from my LYS but Chrissy has a website where you can order directly. [...]

I’ve been shopping for new lace projects.
A few weeks ago Sharon Miller released a new pattern, the Queen Ring Shawl. It’s based on one of the antique shawls she has in her collection. Since I really wanted it and was ordering from her anyway, I went ahead and purchased the booklet for the Lerwick Lace [...]

I’m all for trying to make this blog more interesting. I keep meaning to post but then get distracted by something else. I hope to be more consistent in the coming weeks. I’m aiming for at least one post weekly, but we’ll see. I’ll definitely be posting after MD Sheep & Wool. I couldn’t miss [...]

I’ve been looking for a way to organize my knitting projects. I love my Namaste bag, but it’s for my portable knitting only. I have 3 of the small GoKnits pouches and all have socks in them, or a small shawl if the yarn will fit. I also have a medium sized one that fits [...]

This is what happens when your ball winder and swift are in one place, and you’re in another, and new yarn comes in the mail.
My Version of Project Monogamy
Posted by: Ebony on: January 24, 2009
I really have a very hard time with project monogamy. I get distracted by a new idea or a cute pattern in a book and off I go, casting on. The problem with this is that I have multiple projects in various stages of progress that never seem to get completed (duh!). And I like [...]
Grannying Along
Posted by: Ebony on: January 16, 2009
For the last six months or so, I’ve gotten more and more interested in the idea of doing crochet again. I see so many cute bags and afghans on Ravelry, and I know how much faster this is for me than knitting. I learned to crochet before I learned to knit, and I think that [...]
Welcome 2009
Posted by: Ebony on: January 2, 2009
Hello Again,
2008 has not been very good for me on the consistent blogging front. I’m hoping to be a lot better in 2009, since I’ve joined several groups with the goal of finishing more of my ongoing projects and using up some stash. I’ve spent the last month knitting Christmas gifts and plan [...]

Whoo Hoo! I finally settled on a pattern and have finished my mittens for the No-More-Humdrum-Mitten Exchange 3. I finally decided I wanted something a little warmer than what I was working on. I decided to use a worsted weight yarn and stitch patterns from my Japanese stitch dictionary, 250 Knitting Patterns. The [...]
