Episode 110 – Zombies Ate My Knitting

PlayPlay

It’s December!  How was your Thanksgiving (if you’re in the States)?

Featured FO – phoenixfire’s Tree Topper Adorable tree, Tracy!

WIPs (honestly, the most that got done was on the Christmas gift and the Advent scarf. Also – I now realize I said I don’t knit scarves after talking about knitting the Advent scarf. It’s different. Don’t judge me.)

Advent Calendar Scarfher blog is here if you are interested in following along. You totally have time to catch up!

Leaves on the Line – Forget ripping back in an attempt to use up all the yarn. I’m forging ahead. You’ll see that FO next week!!

Radiating Star Suede Blanket Not going out of the WIP category, even though it doesn’t meet my knitting goals for the year. I’ve been putting rows on it here and there all through the year, I’m calling it a success.

No spinning, sorry.

Knitpicks has brought back Felici in a limited fashion. They are all out of Time Traveler now, but still have a couple of colorways in stock.

Episode 107 – Pajama Party!

PlayPlay

This week, it was cold and I didn’t want to get out of my jammies. So I didn’t.

FO – Lace Swatch Wall Hanging – Yarns and patterns used are on the pattern page. Detailed pictures to come. Frame 9.99USD at TJ Maxx.

Spinning WIP – Firecracker Polwarth Roving from Dragonfly Fibers.

I drone on about the new Interweave Knits (Winter 2015) and my dislike for bobbles, but most things would be okay without them, and also that the one pattern I really liked, well, it’s knit end-to-end and kitchnered shut. So, no thanks.

WIPs

  • A little crochet box for my remotes – made from my own little brain out of t-shirt yarn from a goodie bag. Ran of out yarn a little short. Considering trying again with a different yarn as the bottom.
  • Pavoyou must get some Tango from Daizieknits.
  • Garnet Jane – I’ve started another Jane!

Acquisitions

In question time, I answer a few more questions and forget how many yards are in a mile. It’s 1760. I was WAY off. Way off. So, I am not as close to SABLE as I thought! Yay!
