tha shiz knit skip to main skip to sidebar tha shiz knit intermittent ramblings on knitting bad children and gardening with long periods of silence for no good reason that you will ever hear about loads of pictures to make up for it though tuesday november 24 2015 and miles to go i m infatuated with the philosopher s wool method of woven colorwork infatuated doesn t even begin to cover my exact feelings for it so here i am after mastering the effortless memorization of the four individual stitches i am now trying to master the execution of them my right hand refuses to get with the program and my left hand is resentful and angry i m a continental knitter and extremely ambidextrous in my non knitting life to boot so i can t afford to have a resentful left hand my solution practice until you ve got it so here is my first practice mitt after many fruitless cos with this exact yarn combination where i didn t get anywhere near gauge and therefore wasn t making a usable project i struck gold or maybe pyrite with this pattern you may notice some sketchy looking stitches in there nothing horrible but some are raised up some have fallen behind my normal knitting doesn t look anything like this so it s either my tension causing everything to be wonky or the technique combined with my tension too of course i m going to power on because i already see a big difference in my cuff the part above the braids i feel like i m making progress i m hopeful that by the time i finish the second mitt i will be passably good at this technique this amazing brilliant clever beyond belief technique and then of course these will make a lovely holiday or birthday gift for my girl i doubt she will nitpick the perfection or lack thereof of my stitches not if she ever wants to get any more hand knits again i can t say that she d just requisition whatever she wants from the drawer anyway like she always does this next one is my first attempt at my first swatch for mhk l1 i had a hell of a time getting a picture of this it s dark in my room for photography my cell phone which i normally rely on for these things has refused to take pictures the past few days it clicks blinks and makes all the normal signs that it s recording but it doesn t it s time for an upgrade methinks i was ok with it when i stopped being able to answer calls on any kind of regular basis i don t like to talk on the phone anyway i was ok when my few games became impossible to play i just deleted them went on my merry way i was even ok ish when it stopped letting me upload existing pictures onto fb ravelry by ok i mean i wasn t exactly screaming obscenities more like muttering them along with threats but if it s not going to take pictures i might as well toss it into the road it s definitely time for an upgrade honestly i suspect that around the holiday season phone program updaters send out new updates to make things glitchy so you ll want to update your year old or more phone it s devious and underhanded but completely plausible anyway this swatch pleases me not because it s perfect but because i m literally on day two of this correspondence class and i ve learned a metric goat ton about my own knitting already for instance i had no idea there was a front back side of the long tailed co i mean i was vaguely aware there was some kind of difference but that s as far as my curiosity went i just blithely followed the patterns never wondered why some started on the ws directly after the co some were rs i also knew i had some slight tension issues with my purl side knitting but i d mostly corrected this with some extra tensioning it s rarely an issue in my not going to be professionally judged everyday knitting in fact i ve been pleased with my purling for a while and still am for that matter but i see that i have a little bit to work on near my selvedge edges i don t have a baggy row or anything but i do have a few wonkier stitches and i feel that is room for improvement so i ll re knit this swatch and use it for my blocking experiments later everything happens for a reason that reason in this case because of my research i know what to look for in the way of glaring errors and also some reassurance that at least my first swatch isn t only fit for the burn pile lol in fact i think it s pretty passable maybe even as good as not bad also this morning while i was thinking about starting this particular swatch i happened along a great tutorial for a kfb increase without a purl bump jeez sometimes things just fall into your lap when you didn t even know you were looking for them so i spent half an hour agog with happiness while absorbing the tutorial in all its glory then realized i might be able to test it out for the 1st time on this swatch it worked magnificently so far this course is worth its weight in gold all i ve done is thoroughly research my paper do half a swatch i ve got 20 pages of omg this is a thing notes lol even though it s not for a professional certification you should try this class if it s at all feasible for you posted by avversiera at 4 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday november 22 2015 3 5 miles that s how much i ve knit this year approximately anyway i have yet to weigh my yarn balls prior to subsequently after making my projects so i just averaged what i thought i used still stupendous it s snowing here so i can t get out into my garden just means more knitting sarah is in canada waiting on some snow to kick off the ski season so she can go to work it s clear sunny where she is i wish i could send her some of this mess on happier notes here are pictures of my husband myself meeting neil degrasse tyson in nashville tn this month neither of us is exactly pleased with our pictures but neil looks great in both i d almost forgotten i had a blog until i started wondering how much i d knit this year remembered my knit meter sad eh i ll try to be more active especially now that it s snowy outside i really won t have any excuse not to posted by avversiera at 12 28 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday november 9 2012 childhood rite of passage sarah pierced keegan s ear last night at his request of course also after many jokes about accidentally piercing his neck or face or hand they used tons of alcohol the rubbing kind not the drinking kind so that qualifies sarah as at least as professional as the girls at claires in the mall i remember when i was younger having my friends help me pierce my bellybutton i was not brave it took quite a while to get it done i won t even talk about the tattoos my cousin tara and i gave ourselves when we were 16 keegan made a pained facial expression just for this picture i m proud of them though this is some serious sibling bonding something they may look back on years from now with a smile i know i m privileged to be able to share this memory with them my kids are a blessing they re brave and smart and thoughtful and well just amazing i m lucky to have such an awesome daughter this year and such awesome sons all the time i have the best job in the whole world that s why the word mom is wow upside down posted by avversiera at 6 46 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday november 8 2012 lookit this awesomeness two handed fair aisle knitting that creates a woven background instead of floats that catch on hands rings fingers crazy how stuff happens i found this link http www philosopherswool com pages twohandedvideo htm after literally itching for a colorwork project for months look what she s doing fair aisle but with no floats a completely woven looking back side to your knitted item why would anyone ever do floats if this is an option i may not be experienced enough to answer that question honestly and it s a grainy video at best so it s hard to tell how amazing the back actually looks i find it pretty amazing though this project will be a pair of mittens hopefully for myself or my exchange daughter she saw the pattern claimed them before even one stitch was made is this how all daughters are we re finding ourselves powerless against her she s painted jeremy s nails she s staked her claim on keegan her little brother he s not allowed to have any pretend sisters at school now she wears my clothes my knitting isn t even safe i wouldn t trade her for the world i hope she loves the mittens i actually hope i get to finish them so she has a chance to love them i also as long as i m wishing for crazy fanciful things wish i was just wealthy enough to not have to work outside the home could have an adequate monthly stipend to support a mild

her first project and he isn t doing anything but sitting in the warm spot between his exchange sister the furbeast below that are the fingerless mitts i created modeled by lyn my lyso it s getting that time of year again all i can think about is knitting all i want to do is look at pictures of knitted projects sketch my sweater design pick out buttons read knitting books and wear cozy handknits
