So, at around 6pm on July 27th (after the Opening Ceremonies had started), I casted on for my Olympic Venezia Cardigan! Then, while watching the (non-live! boo NBC!) Opening Ceremonies that evening, I got a bit done: I enjoyed the ceremonies, but was a tad bit disappointed. I loved the forging of the rings, and… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #1

Still a bad blogger, evidently!
Wow, has it really been since May that I posted last?? Â I've still been reading, but I've slowly been picking up knitting steam. Â I'd better have lots of steam ready for Friday, because I'm going to be participating in the Ravellenic Games! Â I'm planning on doing a Venezia sweater, but with some modifications. Â I'm going… Continue reading Still a bad blogger, evidently!

So, I am now done with all my Christmas knitting!! Woo Hoo!! Now I just need to wrap everything. I might decide to knit one more thing as a gift, but it shouldn't take me very long if I do decide to knit it up. We'll see. But all my planned gift knitting is done,… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Hi everyone! I promise I'm still here and knitting away at things! My 'big' WiP right now is something I can't show you just yet - it's a pair of socks I'm designing, but the pattern should be ready very soon, so keep an eye out for it! (I'm very happy with these, and I… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I'm about halfway done with the Lolita vest! I started this on Friday. It's going pretty fast! I have a new skirt that I think it'd be perfect with, and I have an event tomorrow night that I'd like to wear it to, but I doubt I'll get the vest done (and blocked) in time… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Well, I don't have a finished sweater to show you after all. But I do have the back and part of the left side:  I've been mostly working on a couple designs that I have going right now, so I haven't worked on the sweater as much as I thought I would. Plus, the… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Well, my sock design wasn't thrilling me, so I ripped it out and am starting anew with it. Such is life. I'm hoping a few new stitch pattern books (ordered today) will inspire me. We'll see. Moving on to what is on my needles today: We had a couple of really cold days there last… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
On the B-Side
I finally finished my B-Side Cardigan! And just in time to find the perfect buttons for it at SAFF! I bought a few different buttons to try - a couple vintage ones and also some silver norwegian style ones as well. I think the silver ones were perfect! Pattern: B-Side Cardigan Yarn: Bugga! from Sanguine… Continue reading On the B-Side
Fall is here…
...but it sure doesn't feel like it yet! I'm chugging along on my B-side cardi, and I'm hoping to have it done by the time SAFF rolls around. This will be my first year going to SAFF, and I'm really excited! I'm going for all three days - it'll be a mini-momcation for me. I… Continue reading Fall is here…
