‘Round about March of last year, I took some photos of a sweater in progress and posted them here. A sweater that had originally been intended as a Valentine’s Day present, but that promptly hibernated through some serious life changes for us, as well as the tail end of my last couple of years of [...]

This is what happens when the twain shall meet:

I took far too long knitting this sweater for a wee dude born a couple months ago — so long that I was beginning to be afraid it would be too small for him by the time I cast off, if I didn’t get a flippin’ move-on, [...]

True to form, I did not finish my husband’s sweater in time for Valentine’s Day, but I DID manage to get a photo of the very love-appropriate cables on this thing.
I’m knitting Beck, from Jane Ellison’s Queensland Collection Book 9, using some Skye Tweed. (Ravelry links; OH how I mourn the discontinuation of this yarn!) [...]

A Post! AND a finished object! Is it the Apocalypse?!?
Living in the D.C. metropolitan vicinity made it feel pretty imperative to us to attend the Inauguration on the 20th. In the interests of being as prepared as we could be, I decided that Sophie needed to have a warm wool hat. In typical me/knitter fashion, [...]

I have a new camera, finally, that I don’t yet know how to use properly; my knitting has been even more flighty than usual — lots of picking up, putting down, casting on, ripping out; but nothing of any particular substance to report.
In desperation, I may have gone Stephanie’s way and resorted to the Noro striped [...]

You know how it goes. The mojo waxes, wanes, waxes again; you’re knitting along but it’s mostly just shapeless blob, nothing to speak of that you can capture in a photograph. Or you finally finish something after months of inactivity, only to find the object whisked away by the recipient to be worn with glee, [...]

Who can keep track when in the grip of illnesses like these?
Handspun Nereid mitts were begun.

Then I made of the mistake of going to the local-to-my-office yarn shop, Stitch D.C., to pick up some lace Addi needles. (A need sparked, as I said in the last post, because the other US 3 and 4 needles [...]

This weekend, I:

Saw Kung Fu Panda with my husband, four year old, and eighteen year old. Score on all counts — wonderful movie, definitely one we will want to own as soon as it’s available.
Enhanced the stash by one skein of Penthouse Silk laceweight [<--Ravelry Link] by Neighborhood [...]

Holy cow, y’all. Seriously. What a month this has been. First of all, I show you the important stuff.
Finished Object(s)!
Nutkin socks for The Sainted Husband.

I knit these two at the same time on magic loop with Addi lace needles in an effort to avoid second sock syndrome.

This was one of those yarns that called out [...]

Choose the musical version wisely, lest your earworm become an 80’s has-been rather than a 70’s rock deity. (ETA: Evidently Wendy and I shared the same sentiments towards weather. :))
Outside, the trees, bushes, roads and walkways are encased in a fairly icky ice storm. I discovered that it was perhaps a bit more than [...]
