knits with a silent k knits with a silent k knitting not as much as i wish crafting and other musings thursday december 16 2010 i see liz s underpants img_2519 originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk my friend from grad school liz got married this past fall when i heard the news i was overjoyed and immediately resolved to knit her something special for her wedding i used some ebay bucks and searched for yarn with free shipping i got a nice ball of laines du nord pure silk for just a couple of bucks with the ebay bucks discount i knit the front panel very quickly but the waist i knit it and decided it was way too big so it sat for a few months until i realized the big event was coming up and i d better finish it i frogged the waistline luckily it wasn t too hard given it begins from a tiny triangle after the string and started again this time i think i got it about right i tied it with some ribbon i d bought for my wedding and sent it along with bachelorette items that liz had gotten me at my bachelorette ha ha pattern lacy thong from interweave yarn laines du nord mulberry silk needles size 5 probably knitpicks 16 or something yay posted by kim at 2 30 pm 23 comments tuesday december 14 2010 kniting for christmas 1129001102 jpg originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk so i knit this hat in a few hours over thanksgiving break cast on in the car hit the ribbing knit while talking between tld s bedtime and mine and it was done so i decided it was doable to knit 5 more similarly i went and bought yarn at my new favorite lys bought the necessary patterns on ravelry and cast on for the first one yeah koolhaas you are beautiful but you are not fast hat most likely to succeed you are faster than koolhaas but that s not saying much my original plan actually was that the men 3 total would get hats and the ladies would get mitts i ve since decided that hats are much faster than any mitts could be i found some more fast looking hats really fast i don t want to repeat any of them why not asks a little voice inside my head i ve found a very nice looking attractive and proven fast pattern i just don t pattern nottingham needles size 8 knitpicks size 16 takumi bamboo dpns to finish yarn cascade 220 112 yds by weight cast on november 24 finished november 29 and was not diligent i might have made one of the cable crosses too late hence ovals instead of cute little clovers did it all without a cable needle fast fast hat very stretchy should fit anybody from my huge headed toddler to a grown man its intended next up finishing the forever cabled hat that must succeed and salvaging my koolhaas ribbing start to become a beautiful turn a square i usually avoid christmas knitting because i don t like to knit on deadline but this year i decided i was more into knitting than shopping and i d had one finished already next year a mitt a month and i should be ready bonus if there s enough yarn leftover to make everyone mitts that match their hats oh yeah and it would be swell if i could finish tld s sweater vest for christmas but i m not holding my breath the real deadline is february a year from cast on posted by kim at 1 03 pm 3 comments friday december 10 2010 cats mice sweater progress 1129001059 jpg originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk i ve finished knitting the body of the sweater i took this photo at knitting group 2 weeks ago i m really pleased with how good it looks the blocking was very gentle just immerse in cold water then roll in a towel and let dry spread out gently next up steeking by now i ve crocheted some stabilizing stitches in one armhole and i m toying with the idea of actually knitting the armhole edging before cutting the steek as i d read here a little piece of mind by picking up and finishing off the edge before cutting intriguing posted by kim at 1 06 pm 5 comments tuesday november 9 2010 long overdue blog entry 1008000854 jpg originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk i ve been busy i know you knitters with children know what i mean i ve even knit but haven t blogged but here i am i figure if i can take a camera phone photo at least it can make it to the blog less than 2 months later i did revenge of dish rag tag again this year and it was fun here is what i received from my tagger i remember taking a photo of what i sent out but must have not saved it in my phone because it s just not there it s a dishcloth along with a solar powered blinky key ring and another ball of dishcloth cotton hopefully i can get some more phone photo pictures to get some more of my projects up here on the blog btw as it is now november i m starting to think about advent calendars while i really love some of those handmade ones i don t have the crafty time to do it along with knitting some small christmas presents in the 20 minutes here and there but this i think i can handle bubble wrap advent calendar my tld loves bubble wrap i even bought some christmasy stickers at officemax to put on the bubbles now to tell him to only pop one a day this morning he was jumping up and down on a sheet posted by kim at 12 41 pm 1 comment labels swap thursday july 1 2010 world wide knit in public day 00418 facecovered originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk tld made it to his 3rd world wide knit in public day the girl scouts were having cake just next to where we were set up they asked would you like some cake and tld was enthusiastic later he retold the story doodle that s another term of endearment for tld and he uses it sometimes too ate all the frosting mama ate all cake off for a restful 4th of july vacation posted by kim at 3 56 pm 1 comment thursday april 22 2010 checking in img_0689 originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk just a quick post to check in easter was a blast the sweetie felt weird telling tld you see there s this bunny but after tld found his first egg he knew what to do he brought a cart on wheels just in case he needed more capacity sadly i m not knitting much my work got a little shaky in the area of reliability and so we rejiggered my hours so that one day a week tld will spend the day with me instead of hanging out at daycare the fallout is no more breaks at work not even to visit my knitting group no more pumping so no knitting while pumping breaks i ll try to get a stitch in here and there posted by kim at 11 17 am 2 comments monday march 8 2010 i can t believe it s been so long cats mice swatch originally uploaded by knitswithasilentk i totally did not intend for such a long blog silence i ve been knitting and in fact i m very excited here is the big reveal i m declaring 2010 the year of colorwork and to kick it off i planned to do the cats mice sweater in a waistcoat shape defined in the elephants pattern both patterns are by alice starmore in the children s collection i just liked the cats mice theme and the waistcoat shape better plus i have been dying to try steeks late in 2009 i researched the yarn i wanted it fingering weight soft and washable it s kids wear after all i chose berocco ultra alpaca fine a fingering weight wool alpaca nylon blend it s super soft i d used the worsted weight in a scarf and it was yummy it came in 14 colors and i chose 12 of them all jewel tones with a good contribution of light and dark i did it up right i charted with colored pencils i made a swatch i washed the swatch and took gauge measurements i learned from my swatch i decided not to vary the color of the cats as the whitish head on a brown body just seemed odd and the dark brown tail got a little lost in the dark green i learned that the lightest color which i had been planning as tan actually reads oatmeal and i learned that the charcoal colored mice on the burgundy background do not get lost but actually look pretty good then i declared it to be my knitting olympics project just to get to cast on already okay i never intended to finish it during the olympics but for the duration of the games this would be my 1 project certain household tasks could be put off for working on this i wanted a real start on the project by the end of the games i first aimed to get to the armholes then when i had setbacks turned it back to finishing one complete repeat i decided on a corrugated ribbing edge and i started i m now just a few rows shy of that one complete repeat but it feels good i know i ve got some unfinished business ahem blogiversary prizes and i ll get to them soon but i finally took a photo of my swatch with my camera phone and finally got it uploaded still struggling with the new camera although struggling isn t accurate so much as ignoring the fact that i haven t figured out how to get the pictures off but some recent events that i took pictures of should get me to put it at the top of my list soon happy year of colorwork posted by kim at 2 57 pm 6 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me kim california united states view my complete profile new to knitblogs
