Adar is getting stuff DONE!

Argh... 3 months ago

I hate it when I finish a knitting project and am unhappy with the results!

I just finished knitting a tallit in an offwhite silk/wool blend and it seems lifeless.

I’ll let it sit awhile and see if it grows on me or calls out for something other than ripping….

I'm working on a fun scarf now. 4 months ago

It’s an over-amped rainbow, with long vertical stripes. Purple-neonlime-yellow-red-orange-skyblue-violet.

No idea who’s going to get it. But it’s fun.

Just as the old year ended... 6 months ago

I finished the blanket that I started on the train trip last fall. It’s a beautiful multicolored wool blanket, just the right size to keep on the couch to snuggle under when watching movies or taking a nap!

I still have to weave in the loose ends and block it, but the knitting part is DONE. It was a fun one, and I was a little sad to finish it.

Started a new small project tonight. 6 months ago

Cat and I were home watching movies, and I started a little scarf in lace-weight Icelandic yarn, in an “Old Shale” pattern. I have something larger in mind eventually, but I wanted to see if I could get into “automatic” on this pattern. Jury’s still out, but the scarf is going to be very pretty. When I get a chance, I’ll post a photo.

Heh, heh... 6 months ago

I have picked out my next Hat Victim. A young friend told me she “loves hats!”

Better yet, she likes COLOR, not like those pokey boys that always want black or brown.

Heh!

ooooooooooooo! I want to do this! 7 months ago

I’ve rediscovered knitting, and am having a GRAND time! Knitted a too-small hat that has to be redone (oh, the pain! NOT!) and am working on one big throw for myself and a Project Linus blanket. The throw for myself is in a yummy yarn, but the hat has to be in superwash wool (it’s for my nearly-26-yr-old son who will throw it in the washer regardless) and of course the Project Linus is dreadful acrylic (but a great color.)

I am so happy to find knitters! Can I be on the team? Please? Please?



Why are socks always so infuriating? 7 months ago

Maybe I’ll get better at them someday, but for now I hate making socks. Knit, knit, frog, curse, knit, curse, frog, knit, knit. By the time I get one sock done I’m so exhausted and frustrated that I don’t pick up the needles again for a month. Oh well, this pair will get done eventually.

My Projects So Far... 10 months ago

I have a ton of projects, but I think that I can identify 3 major ones. I have 2 afghans for AefA, One is a multicolor fuzzy afghan which she loves with all her little heart and soul. The colors are purple, pink and blue… with a base yarn of soft pink. The other is another multi-color purple/pink/blue with a nice little pattern within the knit that repeats every 5-6 rows. The first one mentioned is almost to the half-way point. The second one is a little past the half-way point. I really tried to get the fuzzy one done before my surgery, but that didn’t happen and I am home with some very bright prospects… so, I will get it done, but I’m not in any race right now.

The other project is a Prayer Shawl for myself. It is in a dark multi-color purple, wine, green and blue. This one will be like a large scarf with points that I can drape over my shoulders for spiritual needs.

I’m looking forward to getting back to work on these projects and I understand that it might take me a week or more before I can. But, I will and that is all that matters to me.

Blessings,

Shadowchilde
