So, I've made a bit of progress since the last post - not as much as I'd like, but we're getting there! Day 8: Day 9 (a whopping 2 rows!): Day 10 (started the left sleeve!): Day 11: I have a dilemma now, however. I just realized that I've been doing the v-neck decreases incorrectly… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #5

Ravellenic Games Update #4
I'm past the waist decreases, and almost done with the waist increases! And about to start the v-neck shaping, too! Knit Night was last night, and I didn't get much knitting done - it's hard to participate in conversation and knit complicated fair isle at the same time. I only got about a couple of… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #4
Ravellenic Games Update #3
I haven't gotten any knitting in yet today - laundry and grocery shopping had to be done (why does life have to get in the way of knitting??) - but I'm about to pick my sweater up for a little bit in a moment. Here's where I left off last night: I didn't get as… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #3
Ravellenic Games Update #2
I've been chugging away at my sweater. As of last night I am 49 rows into the pattern. Whew! I'm still not sure I'm working fast enough to finish in time, but I'm doing my best, and that's all that counts, right? Day 3 progress: Day 4 progress: I've placed the scrap yarn for the… Continue reading Ravellenic Games Update #2
Ravellenic Games Update #1
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?? I've still been reading, but I've slowly been picking up knitting steam. I'd better have lots of steam ready for Friday, because I'm going to be participating in the Ravellenic Games! I'm planning on doing a Venezia sweater, but with some modifications. I'm going… Continue reading Still a bad blogger, evidently!
Bad Blogger!
So sorry to have not posted in so long, but I haven't had much knitting-wise going on. My knitting needles are in a bit of a funk. I do have a couple of things on the needles, but I'm not excited about them for some reason. And I finished a crochet afghan that I'll… Continue reading Bad Blogger!
FO Friday
I meant to post last Friday, because I had one thing I had finished, but the boys and I went to the NC Zoo the whole day instead. 🙂 So I'll show you that FO plus this week's FO today! Firstly, I finished my Ice Queen (which had been started way back in 2009!) Pattern:… Continue reading FO Friday
WiP Wednesday
Forgive me for not posting in a while - we've had a lot going on in our family over the last couple weeks. I've finished a couple of things that I'll show you on Friday, but today I'll show you my current works in progress. These fair isle socks are still in my WiP basket,… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
WiP Wednesday
Hi everyone! Yes, I'm still here! 🙂 I can't believe it's been a month since I posted last - so sorry! The Charlotte Knitting Guild had it's retreat in Hickory, NC this last weekend. Our instructor for the weekend was Candace Eisner Strick, and she was a wealth of knowledge - I learned a lot… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
