Ferret Sweater Pattern

I come bearing patterns. A pattern for a cute little ferret sweater. :D

Palom, my adorable, huge boy in the photos, was kind enough to model the sweater for me. In fact, he’s still wearing the Noro one. And napping. He loves his sweater.

I made two, a blue stripey one and one from leftover Noro sock. [...]

Rotations and fat birds

Completed things just brighten my whole day!

First, I finished the first RPM sock…

…and have cast on for the second. No slouch, no sir.

I also knit a friend, for a friend.

He is knit from BitterSweet’s Crazy Kiwis free pattern, and is for my friend Corrie for her birthday, as she adores kiwis.

I also snagged myself [...]

Man walks down the street in that hat…

 It would seem that my body has succumbed to injury, again. I cannot stress enough that the only good thing coming out of this one is a voracious desire to knit, and lots of time in which to do it.

I’ve started working on Jayne hats again. For those who don’t know, the coveted Jayne Cobb [...]

It’s all in the details

I have a new camera! It’s a Canon Powershot A570 IS, and it’s really spiff.

I have, of course, been wasting most of its battery on taking yarn detail photos, because the old camera couldn’t do such things.

Here’s the possum fur yarn, redux.

And a detail shot. Be it known I took about six of these. I’m [...]

Boogie down like a Monkey

Hello blog!

The knitting has progressed.  The babyhat is complete. I’ve decided not to publicly post the babythings until the package is recieved, so you all must wait. To quench the knitting thirst, Here’s the progress on Boogie, namely the back portion:

The colour matched my skirt. Awww. That’s one whole ball, right there. I’m glad I [...]

Progresses

No photos yet. My SD card reader on my laptop seems to fail to work, and I cannot find the USB connector for the camera. Thus, the photos are helplessly trapped on the camera until further notice.

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 [...]
