Whirling Wednesday

April 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I figured I’d spare you all another picture of just one more repeat of the lace. Other than the bore factor of seeing minor progress, there’s the little fact that I’m off my one repeat a day pace. First on Monday morning, I did the same pattern row twice. Too busy […]

Another day…

April 29th, 2008 · 6 Comments

…another repeat!  Make that two, two glorious diamonds tall already.  Two down, 17 more to go and I’m halfway through one now.  I’d be further, maybe, but I had to stand on the crowded ferry this morning!  (We had the little dinghy boat and while I could have waited for the next one, I opted […]

The Calendar May Say Spring

April 28th, 2008 · 5 Comments

..but I’ve already declared it Summer:  my summer of madness lace (and sanity socks).
I thank everyone for their feedback on my quandry.  After work on Friday, I did some swatching with the Habu Silk.  I can’t say as I really enjoyed it.  It was slippery (go figure) and because of the dark color, I couldn’t […]

Quandry

April 25th, 2008 · 7 Comments

I feel an inexorable pull towards lace projects now, especially with the warmer weather upon us.  I have zero desire to sit with a big pile o’wool in my lap, even with the A/C on as it has been the last few nights at home.  I think the remaining sweaters in my WIP pile (Ballerina, […]

Win Some

Sorry no post yesterday.  I was really busy at work and well, so deeply involved in what I was doing that I completely lost track of time.  Before I knew it, I’d missed my ferry and subsequently, my regular train.  Oh well.  I made progress on the project, but other than a break for lunch […]

Zippy

April 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

I’m just zipping right along on Shaped V-Neck.  I took this picture this morning along side the East River after getting off the ferry.  For a change, you can get a decent idea of the actual color.  I’m using one of the Cascade 220 Quatro in #9436 .  This has a blend of Oranges and […]

Flatbread

Monday mornings are just tough!  It was such a great weekend.  Saturday was downright fabulous.  The weather was gorgeous.  Unfortunately I was only able to spend about two hours at Jessica’s house for her gathering.   I finished off the first sleeve for the Shaped V-Neck (sorry no pictures of it today)  and that was the […]

Just Keep Knitting

April 18th, 2008 · 12 Comments

Is it true?  Could it be possible?  Am I really post five (5) days in a row?!  I think the last time that happened was 2 or 3 years ago ;)  Don’t worry, I doubt I can keep it up very long.
It is soooo gorgeous outside that I just can’t stand being inside.  I might […]

Spring Days

April 17th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I hope everyone ignored my whining in yesterday’s post.  I was just tired.  I’d had about 5 hours sleep each nice since Sunday and it added up.  I got to bed early(er) last night and feel worlds better today. 

Last night I got the twins to bed and I sat down with Shaped V-Neck and that […]

Moving Nowhere

April 16th, 2008 · 8 Comments

While on the train this morning, I kept building a post in my head while I knitted away on Shaped V-Neck.  I’m feeling like I’m pulled in a hundred different directions, trying to do so many things at the same time and doing none of them well.

My day is a long one.  The alarm clock […]
