Day of Tues

We are knitting.

I have no idea what I'm bringing, but we are knitting. I haven't seen y'all in forever.

knit wit

are we on for today? I hope so, also i have too many things to work on, but has anyone dubble knitted something before? i'm looking to make a scarf for myself (a bit down the road, however...). too many things to knit. not enough time.

Knit Picks order?

Is anyone interested in putting an order together for KnitPicks?

What I need is minimal. Jumi needed a couple of things, too. We could have free shipping together.

does anyone know when you slip the first sts of a row in stockinette, you do it knit wise, but do you also slip it knitwise on the second row? or purlwise?

New Obsessions

Since we've established there is no knitting tonight, I thought I'd share the new knitting obsessions on the blog:

1. Making those needle tip protector stopper things out of wine corks.
2. Fair Isle. I finally started making some Fair Isle mittens from the only Elizabeth Zimmermann book I have (Knitter's Almanac). They are gorgeous.
3. Sweaters. This means I'm buying balls of yarn 10 at a time. This virtually guarantees I'll never finishing anything ever again and that my apartment will be overrun with yarn.
4. Trying to find a new way to weave in ends. For some reason, the ends keep popping out on some of my projects.

2 knit, not to K

wont make it this week peeps, sorz. friend has a birthday party, so i got to do that. but i will bring my dolls the next time. yay!

The FightKnitters Knit

It's a hot date. Tonight, Loring Park Dunn Brothers.

Some of us will continue to crank out sweaters. I have a new sweater that only Jumi has seen.

NaKni Reality Check

Even though I'm cheating, and just finishing a sweater that I have already knit 6" on, I think this is going to be tough.

Based on the calculations that I made yesterday, I needed to knit ~11 rows per day to finish on time. This doesn't sound like much, but with 200 or so stitches per row, I think I'm going to be a candidate for arthritis by the time this is over.

ETA: RAVELRY QUEUE CALL-OUT: Jen, didn't you say you weren't going to make any more Bad Jujus?

Dr. Who Craft Book

Did we know about this?
