November 2017


Sadly I feel like I have hit a knitting wall. My Christmas knits are finished, and I am desperately trying to finish some long languishing WIPS. The problem I think is I am better with the attention span of short term vs long term projects. I also do not want to cast on any new garments because I want to shrink ever so badly, and maybe soon I will. It may just be time for a knitting break, and use that time to dust off some other hobbies in my life. I will let you know how it goes.


I did manage to frog 2 projects. My Cable Mesh Pullover, and my Dragon stole. I feel amazing, it was a great idea, and I have no regrets. Feeling quite positive about the experience.






FO's:

  1. Fingerless Mitts for Candace
  2. Hat for Katherine
  3. Hat for Jennifer
  4. Hat for Katelyn
  5. Fingerless Mitts for Vanessa
  6. Fingeress Mitts for me
  7. Feather and Fan Blanket
    1. It does not look great, and its a strange shape, but I was over this knit. 
  8. Midnight Shrug - the picture is not great, but it fits!!!!!!
















Need to Seriously Reconsider:

  1. Cable Mesh Crewneck Sweater - Thank you Knit Picks - Frogged 🐸
    1. Yarn is Star Fish Ridley Sock by SeaTurtle Fibre Arts in Twilight
        1. I think too many things have gone wrong.....
        2. The sleeves are going to be way too long once blocked
        3. and I am trying to get down about 20 - 30 lbs and I do not want to end up with a gorgeous sweater that does not fit, at all, ever...and have wasted my time. (this goes for my other cast on sweater, and goes fro my currently waiting patiently to get cast on sweater...)
  2. Dragon Stole: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragon-stole - Frogged 🐸
  3. Tardis Blanket (the giant one) 
    • Smaller needles?
    • Larger edging?
    • Follow the pattern more accurately, do not get impatient with the process, as it is a process!


WIP's:

  1. Hue Shift 5 colours
    1. 1 quarter to go!!!
      1. CO is 18 stitch maker CO 17 with a CDD (I keep forgetting what my cast on is, so here we go, never to forget)

    Languishing WIP's:

    1. Illuminated Lines Blanket: Thank you Knit Picks
    2. Circlet Cardigan: Thank you Knit Picks - so pretty! I cannot wait to see this finished.
      • Just realized that this is officially the 3 year sweater...it was cast on in January of 2014

      Future Cast On's:

      1. Lestrange Cloak

      Books:

      1. The Crown
      2. Moll Flanders
      3. Worlds of Ink and Shadow
