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.

 

Bad knitter!


Where have I been?? Terrible - no completed projects to report, just many starts. I am trying so hard to use up all of those earth toned wools that I'm bored of looking at, so I'm making a huge felted tote with the guidance of Sensei G. I think it will be lovely for me to lug my knitting around in! It's taking me a long time though - I think it's because I cast on something like 200 stitches...ridiculous, but necessary, otherwise once felted it would only be big enough to put one of Sal's poops in.

I've also been slowly plugging away at a daisy themed sweater for Coco, or possibly another kid who is the right size when it's done. Not sure who, but I'm sure there are some out there somewhere. Aside from the awful intarsia or whatever it's called, the yarn is gorgeous to knit with...it's like buttah! I love really good cotton ('twas on sale at Romni wools!). Here's the beast...notice I did not include a shot of the underside. It's gross...so many ends to weave in.

I love the idea of this sweater, but I feel like I need some instant gratification. This sounds like a job for....socks!

Oh my gawd! That sweater is going to be AWESOME! I love the intarsia.. I think it looks fab. And the colors are gorgeous. It will be a lucky baby that gets to wear that!

Hee hee..thanks Sauce! Who knows, it may have to go to a 'grand niece' at the rate I'm working on it. It really is the crazy maker...thankfully I have socks to distract me.
