knitting elephant home contact me knitting elephant feeds posts comments stormy weather july 16 2010 by knittingelephant we had a strange storm roll through yesterday while at the beach contrary to most folks we actually look forward to them because they stir up stronger waves that we all enjoy riding on this is what the sky looked like sorry it s crooked i was being flipped around in the water while taking the pic i think it s cool that you can actually see where the storm ends and typical sunny florida sky begins there were lots of birds feeding on the stuff washing ashore i really like the little sand castle you can see in the left side of the pic we re debating going on an airboat ride through the everglades hubby and i did one a long time ago pre kids and thought it was pretty neat but the closest rides are about a 2 hour drive not sure i want to do that guess it depends on whether the kids want to go have a great weekend posted in misc 1 comment nature beauty july 12 2010 by knittingelephant i took the kids to jn ding darling refuge today below are some pictures from our visit it s the first time we ve gone in 5 years of coming to sanibel how sad huh we didn t see any alligators or crocs but lots of birds and butterflies it was definitely worth the drive through although we won t likely make the trip again soon just because it s not our cup of tea so to speak feel free to click on any pic and peruse the entire group at flickr posted in misc 1 comment florida july 7 2010 by knittingelephant in years past we ve spent 2 weeks here in sanibel during the summer months because it s cheaper than the on season and because we all love it here this year we didn t come down for spring break because of sparkles i just couldn t stomach boarding her when she was so young so we opted to wait until now renting a house so we could bring her along crazy enough it ll probably be cheaper to spend the whole month of july here in the off season than one single week in march anyway after spending about 23 hours in the car the kids did great and didn t complain at all it was almost surreal we got to the house we re renting i won t go into detail about how sparkles suffers from motion sickness a lot in my almost brand new car dramamine didn t help ugh anyway we re here and have been for almost a week we re loving that we can do more than when you only spend a week someplace we love that there is no sense of urgency that we all know we have loads of time to do things before it s time to head back home the weather has been unbelievable overcast so no one is getting fried but still warm and semi sunny we have a pool in the back yard that s offered endless hours of entertainment and exercise for the kids and us parent types we went on the sanibel thriller boat ride highly recommend that even though there are parts of it that got a little boring for the kids the captain sought out the dolphins and we were entertained by several jumpers my oldest son only got a teensy bit wet i ve done a little knitting but nothing worthy of posting check out my flickr page to see pictures as our month progresses i m off to relax a little something like this posted in misc 1 comment lemonade anyone june 25 2010 by knittingelephant posted in misc 1 comment anyone know about cameras june 13 2010 by knittingelephant i took this photo using my nikon d70 with the 18 70mm nikkor lens and the macro function on the camera the lens has served me quite well over the past 6 or so years but i would love to learn to use this camera to it s maximum potential perhaps even read the manual and take a class or two on basic photography for now i don t have time to invest into either so i m looking for quick info anyone know of a good relatively inexpensive macro lens for this camera nothing fancy just something to dip my toes into the world of macro photography let me know and i hope you re enjoying a less wet version of a weekend than we are posted in misc 4 comments some puppy love may 16 2010 by knittingelephant sparkles is 7 months old now you can hardly tell there was a time when she wasn t a part of the family posted in misc 2 comments more crochet toys may 8 2010 by knittingelephant wow i didn t realize crocheted toys were so much quicker to make than knitted ones as a result the kids have been asking for more of them so i guess it s a wash in the end first was the cake but without the blueberries and with flowers instead this is from the amigurumi two book then the happy little airplane from the same book then there was the request for all the power up mushrooms from super mario pattern can be found here then i finally finished my teacher gift knitting a mara shawl using hobby lobby s i love this yarn only 2 skeins and my almost but not quite favorite new sweater and the back pattern february lady sweater yarn plymouth galway worsted 3 27 skeins needles us8 mods i cast on for the xs 83sts and increased raglan style until i had 265 sts small size s omitting the eyelet increase row worked one gull lace repeat before splitting for the sleeves knitted the body to 10 hoping it would grow with blocking and it turned out perfect 14 from the underarms fits perfectly on my hips yay i ll definitely be making more of this sweater as always if you re looking for more specific details email me or check out my ravelry projects pages posted in knitting 3 comments playing a little catch up april 24 2010 by knittingelephant i ve done a whole bunch of knitting and lots of other stuff too since my last knitting related post in december we ve been in the midst of some school drama and trying to make a decision about whether to move the kids to another school or stick it out we re not on the same page yet so i ve been knitting feverishly to help alleviate the stress i keep telling people that i really wish there was a fidelity green line for me to follow regarding raising the kids but evidently there is no such luxury anyway on to the knitting there is much more than i m posting here because you d be here all night reading if you re truly interested take a gander at my ravelry projects pages and you ll see just what i ve been up to i didn t even attempt to do any christmas gift knitting before the holidays because i knew i d go bonkers instead i waited and sent out letters to the teachers and made some choices based on their replies my proudest knit thus far is a result of those questionnaires our kindergarten assistant is super nice and helped us when our daughter was struggling with the idea of going to school she also lost her brother unexpectedly this year which is just wrong i wanted to make something super special for her and she requested a shawl unfortunately she wanted black now i m all about giving to people and have no problem knitting everything for anyone but me but a lace weight shawl in black yeah i would like to retain use of my eyeballs thank you so i made a bold move i knitted a shawl using some stash yarn woohoo and overdyed it when i was done all in all it turned out great i would have preferred a truer black but she was happy and so was i before dyeing this is what the shawl looked like after pattern angel lace by evelyn clark fiber trends s 2018 yarn knit picks shadow kettle dyed in bordeaux 1 3 skeins or 2 30 ounces needle us4 mods i made several changes i didn t have a crochet hook handy so i did the following to start the shawl co 5 k two rows k2 yo pm k1 pm yo k2 7sts began lace as written worked rows 1 30 then 21 30 an additional 14 times before starting edging on edge added 8 0 black beads at the sk2p of rows 9 11 13 and also at the yo k1 yo of row 15a as written in the pattern before blocking measured 35 w x 17 d after blocking measured 58 w x 25 5 d prepared black dye solution as follows mixed 100ml water with 2g of dye powder then added 65ml of dye solution and 25ml vinegar to boiling water turned to simmer and added shawl held my breath and it turned out i m planning to come back soon with more knitting posts if only my kids weren t playing soccer posted in knitting leave a comment crochet anyone april 24 2010 by knittingelephant i ve always wanted to learn or re learn as the case may be crochet so i could make things beyond blankets and pot holders for whatever reason i just couldn t get it down once i
