I have been knitting, honest, but I’ve also been playing with our new camera and getting the back patio set up for some casual dining which we will be able to take advantage of tomorrow (Aug 1st is to Switzerland what our 4th of July is back home.)
So here are some pictures of my knitting

Another Reason to Love Fall!

Maybe I’m a step or two behind but I just found out today that this book will be out in October of this year!
Love Interweave magazine and have quite a few issues stacked here and there around the house. Seriously, I think there are 4 next to my bed as we speak! Maybe [...]
Knitting Progress

Almost finished Coachella today! Unfortunately I was knitting on the go and didn’t have enough yarn with me. I thought the ball I had would be enough.
I love how the yarn looks knit up, so much texture! I haven’t tried it on recently so hopefully it is still fitting. Remember I am [...]
Yesterday

Well, I’m not sure what happened to yesterday but one thing’s for sure – there was no knitting!
Honestly I don’t know how I survived the day.
I did get my yarn balled and ready for something new.
So pretty, I can’t wait to cast on.
It took an amazing number of pictures to get one of just [...]
The 3rd time wasn’t the charm

But it appears the 5th attempt just might be it!
Coachella is cruising along on size 7 needles and it even seems to be a good fit after a quick try on where the pattern suggested.
My rewrite for the smaller needles has been a bit of an easy cheat. I am basically knitting a size bigger [...]
Venus has left the needles!

After removing kitty from what she obviously and very wrongly considers her blanket, I was able to BO the sts on my Venus sweater.
This is what it looked like before seaming
And after!
Lovin it!
I wore it for the full minute it took the kids to snap a few pics. Now I can’t wait for [...]
Growing

I’m still plugging along on Venus . The bottom front went so quickly -done in one evening quick- but now the middle section where the arms are seems to be dragging. I just need to keep reminding myself that I’m knitting body plus both sleeves all at once so the ‘extra time’ will be worth [...]

There’s not much knitting to show from yesterday. The open water of a lake as opposed to a contained pool with an even depth doesn’t let a mom look down much. So I jumped in with them and only sat for a bit when they got out to play on the beach or at [...]
52 to 92 – What’s a knitter to do?
Posted in Sweaters on July 17, 2007 | 5 Comments »
For the past 3 weeks we have had unseasonably cool weather here- dark, rainy and high temps in the low 50’s. Evenings dip into the 40’s and there is a fresh layer of snow on the mountains. Surely this can’t be July!
So I started a sweater beacause I needed to wear a sweater. It’s Venus [...]
