In which there is a collar

As of yesterday, this is the state of the wurstwarmer. I've got a good chunk done since then, too!



I am also mid-swatch for a cabled cardigan for a friend... Ambitious and slightly unnerving task...

In which I introduce the ski sweater

So I totally goofed on getting proper FO photos of Celes... Oh well, I know it is getting heavy regular use at least!

But this sweater, oh... read on.



My friend's grandmother knit this sweater for his sister, whom it did not fit, so my friend appropriated it for himself.
My friend's family has a daschund.


If you guessed that I am going to make the wee doggie a matching sweater... you guessed right.
I have no doubt the dog will hate me forever, but it's not really for him, is it?

Now, to find a daschund sweater pattern...

Also, if anyone out there has a dinosaur slipper pattern? That would be amazing.

In which celes is blocked

I love turning this



into this

In which something is almost done!

This photo is a few days old, and now I'm nearly done the edging! After having bought a 4th ball of yarn... I knew it was going to be tight, grrrr!

Still have no idea where/how I can block this... it's quite large!

In which there is yet more star trek

Making headway, only about 20 rows shy of being done the first half at this point. Fast and easy! (at least, until I get to the border)

In which there is orange

Bought, wound, and have already started knitting. More soon.

In which there is a toque!

As proof that I am still knitting...

A slouchy toque for a wonderful person!







Sorry for the crummy photos, but I was impatient!

Not exactly sure what will be knit next... that whole time thing...

In which there is Ishbel

Ishbel (I knit the small size stockinette portion, but the large size lace portion)
Ella Merino Lace (the more purple-y photos are more accurate, but it is a purple-to-gray yarn depending on the light)

In which we must party

Happy Canada Day peoples!

How are you celebrating?

In which there is divine inspiration

I was minding my own business doing some homework and most likely daydreaming about a project I had promised to make for a co-worker when all of a sudden the clouds parted and I was bathed in a warm light, and I knew what I must do. Shibui. Stripes. Sockhead Hat (yes, another one). All feels like a little bit of something divine.



Oh, and for those curious, I have begun a 365 project. I am keeping it confined to flickr most likely, but feel free to click through and take a gander.
