Felting Fiasco!

Update: Bonnie asked for the source for the Gum Drop Hat. It is available from Lakeside Fibers but I don't think they had the pattern on their website. It is not to be confused with this Gum Drop Hat, scroll down for picture. Well the Gum D

Just some shots to keep you interested. Of course they are as boring as can be. While friends were over yesterday I worked on ChicKami. I am now a few rows past the ribbing. This will be a great sit while I am talking or watching TY kind of

This is a blatant plea for your hand knit items. A very worthy charity is in need of items and I am asking you to consider helping out. Please visit the CIC website and decide if you can help. Every little bit can make a difference. We are so blessed
Rip it good!

I just lost an entire entry!!!! Argh! OK, a redo here.
I know I said that a sleeve is just a sleeve no matter how long it is. Well my sleeve seems to not want to even exist. I ripped back 30+ rows of the 61 I have done because I am not in tune with

Not much to show, a sleeve still looks like a sleeve no matter how many inches you do or do not knit (11" so far). A felted hat still looks like a tube of St st no matter how close you are to finishing the body of that project. Look at your own
Hey can you help, I'm in a Bind!
Thursday, 28 August 2003 7:48 A GMT-06
Yep! It's time to talk about relationships and how they bind us together. We will look at the differences of the ties that bind and determine when we should cut and run and when we should pull closer together.
The old standby tie that binds us&

Here's the latest on the Nordic Pullover sleeve. It would go faster if I didn't keep messing up the Lice pattern. I ripped back twice last night. I must have been too tired. I need to throw in a quick felted hat in between knitting on this to change
A little explanation would be nice

So here it is! Cast ons. What are they and how do they impact our lives. I'm glad you are joining us today to get the skinny on these facts of life. Cast ons, you can't live with em, can't live without em! Do you ever feel like you are strangling you
A poll today and a plea for help!
Tuesday, 26 August 2003 9:08 A GMT-06
I thought we would see which cast on is the most popular among the visitors to my site. And I know you're out there, my numbers are quite high. Why don't you leave a message sometime? OK, enough begging. Look to the gutter for the poll and cast your

Not too bad of a day. I got my new book "Knitting For the First Time". Yeah I know, I am not a new knitter. But I couldn't resist the little sweater and hat on the front cover. I know I could have done it up on my own, but I figure the price was righ

It's that time again. Time to break out the birthday cake photo. Hop on over to Sandy's site and wish her all the best. Now to see what my parents are doing for their anniversary tonight!

Well it all started when my DH told me he really wanted me to go to Bristol for the NASCAR races. His other date(his BIL) had backed out and plans had changed so it wasn't going to be a case of us staying in an RV with a bunch of guys. We planned to

Back home from our whirlwind trip to Bristol. Details later as I am too tired from allergy meds. We had to pick up our girls at my little bro's house and they have a zoo there. I didn't have any allergy spray with me so I am suffering now. Sneezing a

In anticipation of my forced imprisonment in my van for 8 hours today I cast on for a sleeve last night. I am working on the Nordic Pullover kit I bought at Stitches Midwest 2001, my first Stitches event. I am using the Kitchener Rib cast on and was

Hope for a Hat is felting as I type. Here is the unfelted hat stuffed with a ball for support. More photos to come as felting is done. And no my photo album isn't back up, I am using my old PBase account. Tomorrow the pictures will be online but
Musings
Thursday, 21 August 2003 8:04 A GMT-06
Boring knitting content today (endless rows of hat decreases) so I will just muse. What is it about knitting that draws you in? Is it the love of fibers and everything soft? Is it the repetitive motion and the meditation? Is it the learning expe

Since I couldn't get my latest FO's uploaded on my blog I went to my old photo album and uploaded them there. Here is the Booga J Bag pre shaving, I still need to shave-the bag! And here is the darling Phildar Hat (there is no name for it and I

It's enough to drive me crazy. Most days I don't have anything to load but now I have 2 FOs and I can't get pictures of them online. Darn!

Seems there is a "Denial of Service" attack going on at Blog-City. Gee, I wonder if that would work with DH?

Not much knitting to update. The Booga Bag is 18 rows from completion of the body, no progress on the I-cord handles. I knit very little yesterday. It was errand day. I needed tissues and baggies, found a cute ribby top to match a skirt I already hav
