Text of the page (random words):
the kniterella view skip to main skip to sidebar saturday december 31 2011 the skein that sparked insanity on the cusp of a brand spankin new year and i find myself sorting through bins of yarn my goal if you can rightfully call it that is to get every skein of yarn into ravelry with a photo and bin location the craziness that sparked this endeavor was my desire to find a skein of sock yarn that i knew i had it nearly became an obsession as every bin was searched and searched through again ha the bins are see through and laziness overtook me the one skein of yarn was in the middle of a bin and could not be seen through the outside insane after finding the skein of yarn it didn t match for the project in mind i refuse to buy new yarn so a suitable substitute was located for some new socks cranberry biscotti love this sock and it will be knit but probably not soon you see the through the loops annual sock kal is beginning tomorrow and this will be my third year to participate the yarn for that sock has been chosen yes from the mega stash posted by kim at 5 56 pm 1 comment labels socks stash through the loops thursday january 13 2011 neglecting the blog i have really been negligent both in posting and in reading blogs i have come to dread the idea of opening google reader because the many number of unread blog posts of those i enjoy will throw me into a tail spin instead i remain blissfully ignorant power up my new ipad and play words with friends the holidays were nice my parents flew in on christmas eve and it was the best holiday i can remember the weather was a little cool for a couple of days but snow did not appear and it warmed back up as the news made reports of snowy weather across much of our nation i ve stayed warm by finishing a sweater knit from punta merino solid which i am totally in love with and by reading ideas of blog abandonment have crossed my mind the thought right now is to maybe just let it lie and see what happens tennis is beginning again and that takes loads of time we shall see posted by kim at 10 55 am 3 comments labels cardigan ellarae punta tuesday december 14 2010 another gift finito we played tennis sunday it was cold and windy which called for some extra warmth i grabbed my alpaca fetching s on the way out of the door while playing my friend mentioned that she needed some fingerless mitts i dug out the leftover yarn from my daughter s on demand gloves and whipped up these little fetching s for my friend modifications 6 row cable repeats just knit an extra row before working cable row worked palm rows in stockinette instead of 4 x 1 rib bound off normally omitting picot edge that rolls posted by kim at 11 04 am 2 comments sunday december 12 2010 redwood smoke help from a fellow knitter back in november i found myself in a quandary redwood smoke was nearing completion and the edging yarn ran about 10 yards short this is the woodsmoke scarf pattern published in brave new knits smoke signals were sent up with success and this sweet knit was finished in a jiffy just one more example of what a helpful tool ravelry can be in making our fibery dreams come true the updated search options made it super easy to locate projects that had been knit out of this particular color of malabrigo silky merino i searched for finished projects and then asked those who had bits and pieces of the yarn left over for help locating a fellow knitter who would not only part with her yarn but sent it to me right away and refused to accept payment was made easy once the package arrived this scarf was finished in no time flat the colorway matched and is indistinguishable from what was originally used my plan was to gift this as a christmas present but i am finding it difficult to part with many thanks to mary who goes by hellskitch on ravelry i app reciate your kindness posted by kim at 1 24 pm 2 comments labels jared flood malabrigo ravelry scarf wednesday december 08 2010 it s just that time of year we are hosting my husband s work christmas party this year i believe most of the stress has passed thanks to red wine and the oh well it will all work out stage is firmly in place up until yesterday it looked as if elves threw up all over our house there were boxes and containers everywhere holding plenty of mis matched christmas decor we ve tried to whittle down things that probably won t be used but there is always one more box yesterday allowed some headway and i was even able to sweep the floor knitting has been occurring and this vest is a gift for my dear friend amy it is the mary swanson cardi vest and i simply adore it it is knit in brown sheep worsted and the main color lived in my stash for a long time i picked up the contrasting colors from my lys it was a quick knit and this is definitely a pattern i will knit again the colorwork is actually knit in but duplicate stitch will be used next time purling in colorwork was fiddly even though it turned out nice and pretty even typically i do not gift handknit items for christmas amy is an exception she appreciates everything and will be thankful even if she doesn t like it i suspect she will wear it quite often as a vest in this weight is very practical this time of year stay tuned there is at least one more post in me before the holidays are over and i might even throw in a photo of the decor posted by kim at 10 02 am 4 comments labels brown sheep christmas vest friday november 12 2010 sending up smoke signals have you checked out jared flood s woodsmoke scarf what a great gift idea it doesn t take long to knit at all and i ve always loved the process of knit on edging the nagging began in the back of my mind two days ago it seemed like i may run short on the edging yarn i kept knitting and tried to focus on the positive possibility that there may be enough just enough yarn to finish sadly my suspicion was confirmed last night i knit the last full repeat possible and found myself short of yarn estimates put me approximately 10 yards short and i ve messaged a raveler with leftovers to see if she is willing to part with it let s hope she answers my smoke signal malabrigo silky merino is very pleasing to knit with i ve used it before and remember how yummy this yarn actually is it usually runs around 11 for 150 yards and the colors are fabulous the inside of this scarf is knit with redwood and the edging is of course smoke happy friday posted by kim at 9 11 am 2 comments labels jared flood malabrigo scarf silky merino wednesday november 10 2010 christmas swap our first christmas party in the south introduced us to a different way to exchange holiday gifts in the north you bring a wrapped gift they put a little number on it you pull a number out of a hat and receive the corresponding gift nice neat over in the south you steal the host figures out a numbering system and each person chooses a gift in order if you like a gift that someone else has already claimed you can steal their gift in place of your turn and that person gets to choose another package to unwrap ideally you want to be the last one then you get to choose from everything then no one has a chance to steal it from you i must admit the southern method is much more fun this year my day tennis team is having a gift swap most of the ladies are a little more seasoned than me and i was having trouble coming up with a gift idea hopefully they will love the idea of an alpaca scarf posted by kim at 9 29 am no comments labels alpaca scarf older posts home subscribe to posts atom the
