Redundancy

For someone like me, knitting is currently a slump.

A ditch, if you will.

Mind-numbingly boring.

I’m consistently working on chain chomp hats, which are knit with acrylic yarn and are dumb-easy to work. Even so, I managed to screw up one by making it too short. Hurrr.

I always have them on the go, as there are some [...]

Planning and sleeping

Sleepy.

Been suffering from an extreme messed-up sleep… sick… thing. Oversleeping, not sleeping enough, otherwise not pertaining to a sleep schedule of any kind.

In my waking hours, I knit, and plan.

I’m planning the Chomp hats. Trying to figure out how to charge, and more importantly, how legal this might be.  I need to cost out materials [...]

Mind concoctions

Jack’s blanket is sure to have arrived. I’ll need to call the sibling and find out.

In the meantime, knitting has been a bit slow, but on the uprise. Between beating illnesses and getting some profitable freelance work done, the time for knitting has been narrowed to movie-watching. Luckily, that was the Christmas gift of the [...]

Winding balls and contemplating projects

The past little while has been very busy! The time that I have had to knit has consisted of hauling an easy-to-multitask project in my bag, which has lately been the Rowan Felted Tweed scarf. Even then, I’ve not made enough progress on it to make a seemingly big difference.

I did, however, treat myself to [...]

Progresses

The good news? Ninja Boyfriend has the same laptop as me, and thus the same card reader. I shall [...]

Knitting Math

I knit up a gauge swatch for the recycled yarn, to use for the Boogie vest. It turned out to have some more stitches to the inch than the pattern. Oops.

I turned to my trusty SnB Nation book, which I have to say, is an amazing resource for cool patterns(I’m using an edited version of [...]

Endings and beginnings

It’s been a knitterly few days.

I re-charted the Monkey pattern chart to include one extra stitch on both sides. I also accomodated or an extra “widening” row so the pattern would be a bit larger, and would have 5 repeats instead of 6, and be just slightly shorter a sock. I’ll try it out after [...]

For what it’s worth

This week has been a lovely time to putter around at getting some things done, as I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. While this is a setback in some ways, in others it was a nice time to focus on some hobbies. Mostly reading this time around, but I did [...]
