knitridden knitridden a writer and her knitting habit wednesday december 16 2009 a moment of silence for i have lost a knitted item my trilobite hat which i have loved and cherished for all of six months is gone i have looked cleaned my room searched high and low and appealed to the mercy of the hat gods for two days and despite all my efforts the hat is still gone apparently i am not meant to have a third hat every time i have one it gets lost though the first one wasn t my fault my mother borrowed it and then she lost it not me i suppose it s possible that the problem is not that it s a third hat perhaps the problem is that it s a green hat since the other lost hat is green as well it will probably require a certain amount of further study to determine the exact nature of my hat curse and i suppose in the meantime i should just turn my energies to mourning posted by knitridden at 8 14 am 1 comment friday december 4 2009 new recruit so i ve sucked another person into the vortex that is the world of knitting she s hooked really as in i taught her the basics and her first project was a cowl knit in the round that is no fooling around with scarves no awkward stitches and best of all no irrational fear of trying new things her second project was a sock she hasn t finished it she got bored but she s done the toughest parts the heel is turned gusset decreases finished well on the way to the toes it s just boring did i mention she was fast she churned out a couple of hats after that and got started on a lace ribbon scarf which she has finished by the way and even as we speak she is sitting next to me with a further couple of cabled hats under her belt working on a scarf knit almost entirely with a spin off of a short row technique she s been knitting for about 9 weeks i ve created a monster a really awesome monster who knits posted by knitridden at 5 37 pm no comments monday april 6 2009 confession time again ok i ve got startitis for anyone who doesn t know startitis is a debilitating knitter disease that can strike at any time to bring down the most able bodied of wip finishers symptoms are characterized by what seems a completely uncontrollable urge to cast on and often complete the first part of project and then without finishing that first project casting on for a second or a third i m up to seven not counting the two different pairs of gloves that i might frog for the love of all things fibery someone save me from myself it s not that i don t love the projects i don t love the gloves and i don t love this particular pair of socks that make me angry for some reason but that still leaves six other projects that i think are great it s just there s something so fulfilling about setting out on another knitting adventure i love the laminaria i ve been working on but there s something really exciting about pulling out my brand new cone of valley yarns 2 14 alpaca silk and whipping out a few rows in that lovely shade of springy green i could work on my 2 at a time socks in my lovely neighborhood fiber company sock yarn but there s this bright lovely yellow calling my name and begging to be a brand new pair of bright yellow monkey socks maybe it s the colors maybe it s the notion that my ravelry queue is growing every day and i m barely getting any relal knitting done and certainly not enough to offset all the patterns i add in a given week oh well homework is for losers anyway posted by knitridden at 5 34 am no comments monday february 23 2009 let s get some pictures in here huh i mentioned discovering cowls on ravelry it seems that cowls are a well known and much beloved alternative to the masochism of scarves but i ve found that outside the world of knitters no one seems to have heard of these crazy things for my non knitter friends out there a cowl is a sort of tube that you pull over your head and let sit around your neck so that effectually it s a scarf that you don t have to tie or fiddle with and far more importantly you don t have knit for millions of inches before you re done i am so happy to be a knitter instead of an ordinary person ordinary non knitters or people without knitter friends don t seem to have cowls they don t seem to have heard of them poor fellows anyway now that i know about them i need never fear the neck garment again i have a secret weapon by the way here s my first cowl sorry about all the shadow you stick your head into one of the short ends and pull it down until you get your head out of the other side so that the whole thing bunches about your neck much warmer but much less bulky and way more fun to make than a scarf now i m completely addicted and have already got another on the needles posted by knitridden at 12 06 pm 1 comment okay i m back now i m sorry i ve just been completely distracted but now that i m back at school and back to my normal student y behavior i ll be posting regularly again as far as updates go i d better do some filling in on what i ve been up to knitting wise and otherwise for the past several months first of all i ve made a lot of hats four actually and three given away for christmas gifts i m working on a fifth story to come but hats remain a satisfying and quick project for me i ve discovered cowls cabling and 2 at a time socks as well as gotten back to work on my fantastic laminaria to be i promise there will be postings about these also if you take a look at banner at the top of my blog there s an aspect of the blog description that hasn t made much of an appearance yet and that is because dear though possibly fictional readers i had lost my mojo but part of what has inspired me to get back to my blog is the fact that only two weeks ago my first love came flooding back to me i can write again and my goodness it s like being able to breathe again really so it is with great pleasure and excitement that i take up my electronic pen once again posted by knitridden at 11 50 am no comments wednesday september 3 2008 the plan i felt it was important to make one so i would know what i was getting into and what kind of schedule i ought to be keeping at least until i go back to school september laminaria going well i might add and pomatomus socks oh and schnitzel october secret and at least half of sam s socks november mini secret the other half of sam s socks and a hat for my sister december un secret alpaca glovie things january a mystery but maybe a sweater and a hat we ll see so that is the plan and let s see how well i can keep up with it between an internship seminar class and a thesis it ll be a good time i m sure of it posted by knitridden at 6 04 pm no comments shhhh so i m nursing a secret yes that s right hopefully i can gather up the coins necessary to turn this unsubstantiated and possibly doubtful secret into a real one it s a secret involving deleted for security reasons and for everything to work i have to be sure to finish it by deleted for security reasons i think that even with my new internship and all the other deleted for security reasons i have to do between now and then i should still be able to finish it in time at least i hope so oh and for the plan to work all the way i also have to find the time to make the mini secret that goes with it it s gonna be a busy deleted for security reasons posted by knitridden at 5 56 pm 1 comment
