Was it merely delayed teenaged angst that caused my last post? Was I feeling lonely and in need of e-gratification? Am I merely an attention whore?
Probably a bit of all of the above. Must be.
What I am working on currently:
2 really big secret projects that I can’t blog about until after Xmas.
Fingerless gloves. So far I have made 5 complete pairs and just started the 6th. Not all for me, no, but for just in case around the holidays. I want everything that I give to be as hand made as possible this year.
The eternal sweater. I have another 10″ to knit on the body and it’s so slow going and booooorinnnng. I’m worried that by the time it is completed it will be spring and too warm out to wear it and that I will hate the yarn or colour or just be so sick of it that I will frog it out.
Dollhouse #2. The pee stained one. Right now I am planning a grey scale look for it-everything painted and papered in black, white and greys. The furniture can be bright.
Yellow bamboo yarn diagonally knit scarf. Taking forever, I keep this in my bag for knitting-in-public purposes. Mostly on the subway, it’s fun, a stranger almost always comments, tells me their knitting story.
Multi Manos Maxima yarn bandana cowl scarf. This one will only get finished after the sweater because I need that needle for it.
Hexagon project that has been put aside for now.
So this is the first post from my iPad. Sorry no pictures, I’ll figure that out eventually.
I’m also knitting another pair of red mitts and a squid.
FIRST!
My roommate would LOVE that squid. So awesome. What pattern (I almost wrote recipe) are you using for the fingerless gloves? I just figured out how to knit in the round and I am not sold on the pattern I have been using for mine.
Knitting in public.
Hehehe.
Adam wants an iPad so badly! How are you liking it? How easy is it to use for blogging etc?
Loving the squid! I need to try to get making something like that because I’d like Ella and Freddie to have some knitted toys.
Danielle: I stole the pattern from a book at the bookstore. I am a terrible person, I know. I have sort of changed it but not enough to post it here as my own. Well, maybe.
Twwly: there’s this whole weird knitting in public (or KIP) thing and it seems like it excites a lot of knitters which really is hilarious and sad. Maybe we don’t get out much?
Laura: I mostly love it but it’s a huge pain for typing, especially while lying in bed like right now. I’m getting a proper keyboard for it soon. It gets crazy finger print smeary, much like an iPhone. The lack of flash can be annoying and I do wish it had a camera AND I hate iTunes. Loathe iTunes. Blogging is hard but I think it will be easier with the external keyboard.
But I love it. I love Twitter on it and netflix. Games are great and there are lots of great apps for free. Once I get my pictures moved over I think I’ll be set!
I just made a post recently about the boring part of sweaters… I have a knit one and 2 crochet sweaters at that point right now. One of which is over a year in the making! Must Finish!
