I'm still waiting for my Master Knitter level 3 notebook to come back to me.  I figure I still have about 3 or more weeks to go.  Waiting is hard, yo.  🙂 I started the Sheherezade shawl - I went with the gold beads.  I'm very happy with it so far, and I'm pretty close… Continue reading Still waiting….

New Project
I've finally found a new knitting project that I can get excited about!  I'm going to make this next. The Sheherazade Beaded Lace Shawl, by Anna Victoria. Intricate lace - YES PLEASE! With beads, too - DOUBLE YES!  🙂  I'm so excited!! I have a lace shawl on the needles already, but it's pretty 'plain'… Continue reading New Project
Patiently Waiting
I'm patiently waiting for my level 3 box (or trying to).  It won't come back to me for another 8 weeks or so now, at least.  I hope it made its way safely to the first committee member! I'm doing a few things to keep busy - I'm spinning up some Jacob wool I had gotten… Continue reading Patiently Waiting
Cutting the Steek
And here is the video I promised you! :-)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYr8smP_YDw
Preparing to Steek

Just FYI - this is a… Continue reading Preparing to Steek
WiP Wednesday
I'm almost done with the body of my sweater!! Â It should be done later tonight or tomorrow night! Â Then I can block it, and steek it and get on with the buttonband and collar. Â (Which I still have to swatch for! Â I can do that while the sweater is blocking/drying...) Stay tuned...
More Progress
I'm still plugging away at my sweater! Both sleeves are done and I'm almost to the armhole steeks on the body. I hit a bit of a hiccup early last week when I ran out of one of my colors of yarn!! Â I thought for sure I had another ball, but no such luck. Â A… Continue reading More Progress
Coming along
Second sleeve is done, and I've started on the body! Â I decided I need to make a little fix on the tops of my sleeves, though, so I'm ripping back the last 4 rows or so and making the change. The ends are slowly being woven in as well. Â The upside of doing a cardigan… Continue reading Coming along
Happy New Year!
I can't believe it was October when I posted last! Â Well, I kind of can believe it, since it's been super busy here since then - but I had every intention of posting before now! I'm still plugging along on my Master Knitter level 3 work - I'm VERY close to being finished! Just the… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Update and TKGA wrap Up
I have been woefully lax in updating you all here - but I've been plugging away at my sweater design, and we went to Disney for 9 days a couple weeks ago, so no knitting was done at all for a while there! The TKGA Fall Conference was a couple of weekends ago, and I… Continue reading Update and TKGA wrap Up
