Yoga Wrap – the Sweater that Never Ends

on Aug 13, 2011 in Knitting

This is the progress I have made on the Yoga Wrap Sweater I started quite a while ago.

Those are the arm holes. On the right side I am almost done – it has to be as wide as the left side. Then I will still have to knit the two sleeves.

Remember this is all stockinette stitch. I has become my travel project. I end up only working on it when I am in the car (as a passenger), at the movies or watching a movie at home. After tearing out 15+ rows that were stitched wrong while watching the new Transformers movie – I may not stitch in the movie theater anymore.

All the yarn is purchased – it would be really great if I can finish this before it gets cold.

Here is the progress so far:

I really like it – [...]

Snicket Socks

on Aug 10, 2011 in Knitting

Have you ever seen the movie “Lemeny Snicket’s a Series of Unfortunate Events”? This is one of my sons favorite book series. Probably the only books he ever read because he wanted too.
When my sister asked for a pair of socks, I went looking for a pattern and came across the Snicket Socks [...]

Trying to get back on track

on Aug 8, 2011 in Uncategorized

Over the last week, I have been reminded on my blog.  In one guess, I was “asked” to keep it updated.  Not in a mean or negative way – just a gentle reminder that some on my loyal followers use their Kindle to read my blog.  Another person mentioned the traffic that my blog gets. [...]

I finally finished the quilting on my disappearing 9-patch. I was putting it off because I was down to just the decorative swirly’s on the border. For each one I had to start and stop quilting. They were not connected or continuous.
But I sat down and got into a rhythm and finished [...]
