Satisfaction brought it back

Brought back my love of knitting, that is. I am quite satisfied:


I love the little sheep!


All total, they took less than a week, which makes me happy, too. I'm back in my knitting groove and have worked some on Jo's new hat and a project I'm fixing for a friend since finishing these on Saturday. Of course, I'm also stash diving today to see what other new, quick project I might cast on for me. (I'm not a monogamous knitter, y'all, in case you couldn't tell.)

Pattern again is Greenway Sheep which is free on Ravelry. I used Inner Yarn Zen Superwash fingering.  I modified the pattern to use only 48 stitches and I added a thumb gusset because I am a thumb gusset type person.

    I love the little sheep! And the spring green is fabulous, too - this is the time of year when I want everything I knit to be all spring colors, and those are perfect :)

FO Friday, Post Holiday Edition

Image
Well, another winter gifting season has come and gone, which means I have hand-knits to show you.  I'm trying something new this year with the blog, as I was such a terrible blogger last year, only typing up four very photo-full entries.  I'm going to aim to (maybe... we'll see how far I actually get) post at least twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays for WIP (Work in Progress) Wednesdays and FO (Finished Object) Fridays. Today, though, lots of photos again because of all the stealth projects I gifted. First, a pair of gifts for Redhead Sister's baby, due sometime this month, Team Yellow (they decided not to find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl): Pompom Hat : (I love how these look on itsy bitsy people) Knit in a soft green colour (actually in the green left over from the frog hat I knit for Elder Sister's son). Little Red Sweater : This one actually shares yarn with Jo's Little Red Riding Hood cape I also knit another GA

NO-vember... Moving on...

Image
If there was an award for being an inconsistent blogger, I would win.  My last post was a month ago as I was one week into NaKniSweMo. I think I'm going to add November National Whatever Months to my "I don't" list.  I did get about 16 inches done, which I calculate to be 19,074 stitches.  Not bad for moving in the middle of November, but not exactly a 50,000+ stitch completed sweater. I still have quite a bit to do; It's not close to done by any stretch of the imagination.  But for now it's on hold as I frantically knit Christmas presents.  I read the Yarn Harlot's blog today as I was taking a break from knitting and completely agree with the statement of "I feel like I'm going into this Christmas with no reserves."  I started knitting for this Christmas months ago, and yet I'm still really pushed for time.  (That and my family is Christmas-ing on the 19th, which cuts into knitting days.) I haven't completed anything since my

So... blogging...

Image
It's been an absolutely crazy couple of weeks.  I finished all my classes & turned in papers (including one I especially loved writing which I titled "Knit Two Conceptual Domains Together" and which was about the use of metaphor in knitting) and then I GRADUATED!  That's right.  I now (or rather will, once final grades are posted,) have a B.A.! Here are pics from graduation.  These were taken by my sister & friends.  I'm shiny!  (You know what the reason is for having tassels that hang down the sides of your face?  Distraction!  Something to play with during graduation (such as while the student speaker sites "dictionary.com" as a reference *serious eye rolling*)!  The cords were fun to play with, too...  but I digress... What can I say?  I'm distracted by shiny objects...) Sorry, photo vanished. Sorry, photo vanished. I graduated "cum laude" but I'm hoping that my final grades will nudge up my GPA so that my diploma
