A little distraction

A little distraction

March 24, 2012 by Maire in Hobbies / 1 Comment

I keep meaning to work on the sleeves for Robin’s sweater, but I keep getting distracted. That’s about an inch or two of Stephen West’s Clockwork being knit in two different colourways of Kroy sock yarn on size 5 straight needles.  Colour A is “Gentry Gray” and colour B is “Burnished Sierra Stripe”. I was […]

I really don’t have much of anything to show this week…and that’s mainly because the pattern is coming along, tickety-boo, and that means no peeking until I’m all done and ready to release it. I’m aware that the timer is running down (boy, am I aware), so I’m knitting as fast as my little fingers […]

FO Friday: Noro Shawl

FO Friday: Noro Shawl

March 4, 2011 by Maire in Hobbies / 0 Comments

I never actually posted up any kind of pictures of the Noro Two-Row Shawl as a Finished Object.  That is mainly because the one time I tried, it was with my cell phone camera, and it was less than breathtaking. Let’s just say I gave it another try: What we have here is a failure […]

WIP Wednesday: Malabrigo March!

WIP Wednesday: Malabrigo March!

March 2, 2011 by Maire in Hobbies / 0 Comments

Another WIP Wednesday!  Things are continuing.  The February Lady Sweater has pretty much gone back into procrastinatory hibernation (but will likely be pulled out when the whim strikes).  The design-socks are still being kept away from cameras, and that leaves two things.  Two?!  Yes.  Two. A Shawl!  Well…whatever it is, it’s sure a bright pink. […]

Looks like I’m slightly back on track for this week!  I’ve been somewhat ultra-organized (yet at the same time, not) for the past week.  I managed to get a podcast up, only to be thwarted by technology (drat you, technology!), and then decided it was time to do a facelift on the site theme.  Still […]

I’ve actually gotten a bit done on all my projects this week.  Even the sweater, though I haven’t been able to snag any photos of it.  I’ve finished the increase rows on the February Lady Sweater yoke and am now completing the last couple of garter stitch rows.  Then it’s on to the body and […]

Accomplishments

January 4, 2011 by Maire in Writing / 0 Comments

Time for another hard-hitting Daily Post question! What’s the single most important thing you accomplished in 2010? Well, I didn’t accomplish much that was too difficult.  Really.  I didn’t solve world peace, or end starvation. I didn’t write a best-selling novel, and I didn’t enlarge the family or find the cure for cancer.  I knit […]

I saw this particular little weekly feature on Turtlegirl’s blog and thought I might follow suit.  Of course, afterwards I googled WIP Wednesday, and apparently it’s not a new idea…so now I don’t feel quite so cheesy! My Noro striped shawl is shaping up quite nicely.  It’s getting large enough to take more time to […]
