Slipped Stitches

A small group of knitters with a range of knitting experiences - from the wise Maple Girl to the careful and fresh faced Sauce, and the full throttle knit or die style of Sly. Enjoy our varied projects and thoughts, and if you don't have anything nice to say...well...you know.

 

Fellowship of the stitches

I'm so excited - the Slipped Stitches are convening for a not-so-secret meeting today. I'm looking forward to showing my newest additions to my freshwater aquarium as well...however, that's not something for a knitting blog.
I'm working on the V sweater, but now I'm confused...I'm supposed to start the V part, and I just don't understand the pattern. Miss G, I need help! Can't wait to be done this sweater - it's giving me gas. I want to make something groovy next, but what? Perhaps Miss G's Stitch 'n' Bitch Nation, combined with Sauce's original Stitch 'n' Bitch will inspire me...does that mean I'll get to buy more wool?

Anyways, I was bragging to my ultra-knitty aunt that I was into knitting - she was pleased, I think, and started regaling me with really cool crochet stories (yes, there are crochet "stories" out there...).

And finally...who here is glad that Christmas is over? ;)

 
 

I'm still here...

So...I've been slowly working away at my orange V-neck. I'm done the back, but I'm afraid of it...it looks like it's very long and skinny. I'm hoping that blocking is going to save it.
Au naturel...


Spread out (hopefully how it will be when I block it)...

It's a weird shape, but it's not like I've made tons of sweaters. I'm getting bored of it though. One colour is boring...I'm already looking forward to making my boring red sweater. But that's another story...

Speaking of which, here's my favourite link of the day...

Off-Task Knitter

I have indeed fallen off the face of the Knitter's World. Shopping for a digital camera has sapped the life out me, so that I can't focus on much else. An update on my knitting:

I have only really worked on the Red Poodle Scarf that is supposed to be for "someone" for Xmas. I am a good foot into it now, so I'm hoping the momentum will catch soon. OR the knit fairies will come in the night and finish it for me.

Marli got into the wool for my Green Striped Sweater, god help her. She was running around with a ball of Grey wool in her mouth like a fool, a FOOL!

I am planning a furious knitting weekend coming up, so hopefully I will have more to report next week, including pictures maybe......
