how photos of exactly how bad it fits because after all it turns out i have a little self respect i will instead show you last weekend last weekend in boston we got snowed in like honest to goodness can t leave the house snowed in i cannot remember the last time i ve been actually snowed in there have been time i ve used it as an excuse to stay in or to eat crackers and peanut butter and ice cream for dinner because i was too lazy to go out in the snow to get proper food but last weekend for real there was an honest to goodness driving ban 2 feet of snow and based on how the driving was the next day i think it was good and warranted i did of course make sure we had cookies because in emergencies cookies are just about required and made for a fantastic breakfast of shoveling champions the next day yum so i spent the majority of the storm sitting with some tea and some cookies and finishing my scrap blanket which i m pleased to say is finished and has eaten an entire bag of scraps woot and then the shoveling began which was actually kind of fun good times so with the scrap blanket and the delinquent wallace and grommit finished for now i m on to bigger and better things from the bottom up this time posted in baking home knitting misc random relaxing snow tagged blizzard 2013 knitting scrap blanket snow storm top down sweater 1 reply success posted on january 23 2013 by wound up tight 1 when i last left i was holding a rather daunting pile of wound yarn well i knit and i knit and i hoped and i hoped and now the mr has a new sweater i was lucky that the gauge was exactly the same as what i was trying to copy so i just got out my crayons and graph paper copied the patten from the photo onto the graph paper and followed directions it s a simple raglan and i took measurements from a sweater that he has that fits to get the chest measurement arm length etc the original didn t worry about making a coherent pattern around the raglan decreases so neither did i and it worked out just fine overall i m very happy with it it fits it is the right color it is the right pattern and most importantly the mr loves it so yeah me and so now i m back to my wallace and grommet which is to say still in my jammies with a sweater that has no sleeves and comes down to my belly button and strings hanging off the side but no matter but with any luck in a week or so it will be more presentable it won t be getting sleeves so really it s just sleeve cuffs and another few inches of pattern so i have that going for me posted in holidays knitting misc photos tagged fair isle handknit j crew knitting sweater yarn 1 reply my only christmas knitting again posted on december 29 2012 by wound up tight 6 once again i had only one knit christmas gift to give this year but it was an awesome one a few weeks ago i was with my sister and i thought i heard her say she liked that new trend of giant oversized knit stuff now i d had a beer and i couldn t remember if she said she liked it she wanted it she thought it was ridiculous or what all i got out of it was oh good i can make that as i plugged along i wondered if i d mis heard or if i made it up altogether in my desire to make one of these things but i figured what the heck either she ll be happy or very very confused but it would be fun either way it was knit with unspun wool top split in half you could knit it with it just as it comes but really that s more art installation than blanket i tried it at 4 st per foot it worked up really quickly i think there were 20 stitches row it took about 6 hours on 1 5 pvc pipes with some really classy duct tape covering the openings scooter thought it was pretty dope too my sister loved it she draped it over her and walked about we decided she looked very rich wearing her blanket i have photos as she will soon be a wildly expensive lawyer i will not put those photos up here so she doesn t then sue me for defamation but it was a hit we also had a bat in the house christmas morning luckily the boys took it outside then ran merry christmas posted in cats holidays knitting tagged christmas gifts giant knit blanket knitting with pvc pipes wool top 6 replies obsessed posted on december 22 2012 by wound up tight reply i don t think i ve ever knit the same pattern twice there are too many things out there that i want to make to do that or at least that was the case until last weekend you guys i m obsessed my best friend of 20 omg we re old years had her second baby when she had her first she had her in september and i distinctly remember knitting the gift while watching pride and prejudice the good version on new years eve so that s pretty bad that s like 4 months late so i was determined to be just a smidge better this time i ordered washable wool from fat cat knits who has great colors and selection and best of all meant i didn t have to dye anything or buy a hunk of superwash i spun it up i wasn t sure how i felt about the colors i mean i liked them a lot but wasn t sure about a baby traipsing around in them but whatever i just kept going i had been wanting to knit up these overalls since i saw adrien knit some up in handspun omg too cute must have the only mods i made from the pattern aside from a gauge change dk from worsted was to make the legs open along that bottom seam and not bell at the bottom the bell might work fine in older sizes but 0 6 month was 12 around for a leg that is like 4 around the pattern and as far as i can tell everyone who has made them on ravelry calls for two tubes for legs now if someone gave me some item of clothing for a 0 6 month old who is getting changed constantly that required taking them all the way off every time i would just never put them on them and since my main goal is for these to get on the child i knit the legs back and forth and added snap tape along that inseam it worked pretty well i would recommend it it means sewing in snap tape which might make you want to kill yourself but i promise if you make it through alive it will make them so much more useful as clothes and i did snaps for the shoulder straps instead of buttons no matter how well you sew buttons the idea of them near a kids mouth makes me nervous babies are fascinated with the most boring of things like circles with holes and string and resourceful and like to swallow things and once all the snaps and sewing was over omg i love them i am obsessed with them i could knit only these until i die and be quite happy i was so deliriously pleased with myself that i brought them into work and showed them to normal non knitters probably making squealy sounds the whole time in my delusion i just love them there is discussion of adult sized ones for every day of he week i m kidding there only sort of i think i m done with baby sweaters who needs sweaters when you can have these this baby was born in october and i m done a whole 2 weeks before new years that s like 2 months i m practically early the pattern is free on ravelry get going posted in knitting photos sewing tagged baby overalls go veralls hand knit handspun knit overalls snap tape snaps too cute leave a reply it s beginning to look a lot like christmas posted on december 13 2012 by wound up tight reply not sure where december has gone but coming up for air to write a post i have new sheets with hats and mittens i love them our tree is up and decorated the angel is a little precariously placed this year it didn t occur to me to cut off the too high top until it was too late now i kinda like it and i have finally gotten off my arse and made the cushion cover and curtains for the kitchen excuse the somewhat fuzzy iphone photo greg s sweater is started a pair of baby overalls was started ripped out and will be restarted tonight and i have the wallace and gromit sweater going as well as the scrap blanket i never do this i m a one project girl but i figured what the heck they all need to get done so there they are gift buying is for the most part finished i m just waiting for everything to come in while i sit in panic and hope it all makes it here in one piece and on time which means we can move onto the fun part of the holidays the part where you bake a million cookies watch a bunch of movies drink a bunch of wine and sit by the fire the millions of cookies happen this weekend the movies started last night and well i hope there s no fire since we don t have a fireplace but i ll light a candle or something onward posted in baking holidays home knitting relaxing uncategorized tagged christmas garnett hill holidays knitting mittens and hats sheets sweater tree leave a reply new warm things posted on december 5 2012 by wound up tight reply for the past 2 3 years i ve been asking greg if he d like a new sweater the discussion of which i will summarize here me greg would you like a new sweater greg why yes i would me what kind greg i think fair isle me oh like this shows photos greg no not with different colors me oh greg maybe a cable sweater me oh good like this shows photos greg no not really too much going on me oh me can you show me one like you d like greg actually searches ravelry on his own and picks out some simple pullovers like the one i made for him a few years ago me ok greg wait wait i really like this one and this is what he s pointing to it s a j crew sweater from this year score i happen to really like it it will entertain me and he will like it except that we decided that orange really was a little out there so we played with photoshop and got the orange to turn light blue and thought that looked really good so we shall rip off the pattern slightly change the color and make sure it fits perfectly onward then yarn choices i showed him a bunch that would be in the right gauge type and again there was deliberation i pulled out my color card for schoolhouse press and we found exactly what he wanted to the point that he kept asking to see the color card of yarn again all by himself a rare thing for a non knitter either he s really interested or he s just really really nice we chose yarn which showed up quickly and was great except the dyelot of light blue was really more bright blue i spoke with i forget who at schoolhouse press who actually put down the phone went to look and see if they had a paler dyelot found it and sent it to me i think i love her so we re all wound up ha and will get knitting soon i had hoped to finish it before christmas which might be a little hairy after spending a week knitting a warm shawl but i will try good luck to me posted in holidays knitting tagged j cfrew knitting picking a sweater schoolhouse press sweater yarn leave a reply just keep swimming just keep swimming posted on december 1 2012 by wound up tight 5 ah so i can unveil the secret project a few weeks ago someone indispensable and terribly important to our family got news that she had cancer i know this is very common and everyone knows someone but i cannot even explain the feeling of being hit by a bus quickly as much as was possible was taken out and the recovery from that process began with lots of quality knitting time in the hospital keeping company and plans for chemo began now to say i am medically useless is actually an understatement i actually will pass out at the slightest tube blood incision or just the smell of hospitals this makes me negatively helpful when i have to be peeled off the floor i did my best and actually got over the tubes and hospital smell as long as i didn t have to see where anything goes in or out but really besides the doctors who do as much as they can none of us can do anything really to make it better we can t make tumors go away stay away or make things less scary luckily the statistics are in our favor and since i believe in science and statistics and good hard numbers that has to make me feel better so i did the only thing a knitter can do i can at least keep you warm and pretty the blood tubes and actual physical real healing stuff nope sorry useless but warm that i can do so i stole some yarn that was supposed to go into the shop wound it into balls downloaded a pattern daybreak but without the stripes since it was striping already i love the shape of it and just started knitting i used a sneaky trick i saw somewhere about putting plastic under the blocking item to make it dry faster worked awesome i usually am waiting for things to dry forever because whatever is underneath usually a towel is also wet from the wet wool this one dried very quickly the yarn is my own handspun polworth silk size 7 needles with dk yarn for a warm but light fabric the drape is fantastic thanks silk and most importantly warm since that is what i do posted in harrison wheelworks knitting random tagged cancer daybreak shawl handspun harrison wheelworks knitting 5 replies quality time posted on november 25 2012 by wound up tight reply the sweater is moving along in the past few weeks i ve had ample quality knitting time and i ve powered along on the handspun sweater i tried it on today and determined that is is big enough is actually roomy which i m kind of liking and the neck is reasonably satisfactory which after the last attempt i will take once it s blocked i think it will hang better and therefore i will not show the questionable shot of me in it now before it s finished i think the stranded ness of the pattern is going to relax nicely when it s blocked in any case progress thanksgiving was some good quality time with family with food with knitting with myself so that is something to be thankful for hope all had a great weekend full of knitting food wine and family in whatever order makes you happiest and now i shall spend the next week avoiding christmas music and turning 31 and finishing a secret knitting project which i hope to unveil soon posted in holidays knitting tagged handspun knitting re knit sweater leave a reply bring it
