In which the cardigan is zipping along still!

I'm not gone, don't worry! I was just moving. And cleaning. And unpacking. And sorting and packing again for an upcoming trip (hello NYC!) and another move soon (hello Vancouver!).

For now, just some photos.

Left front,



And a complete sleeve (even though it's not all in the photo),



And part of another sleeve!



More news later.

In which another panel is finished

Well, right front panel of the cardigan is also done now! I would go and start charting the left front panel, but all my knitting books are boxed up for a few days whilst moving.



And here's a closeup of the raglan shaping.



A few people have asked about a pattern. I won't be writing a full pattern (I have no desire to make the charts available, I've used reams of graph paper to piece mine together, and scaling for sizes is out of the question), but if enough people express an interest in maybe a guideline through my process, I would consider making that available. So, if you're interested, better let me know!

And now I must go work on my thesis a bit more (it's due tomorrow, and then I will be done my degree!)

In which there is so much cabling

So, first off, I've finished the back of the cardigan. I didn't get a decent photo of the whole thing, but here's the Raglan decreases.



And I started the right front (about 8" in so far). I've got information on Flickr about the cables I'm using. The yarn is just good old Cascade 220, and the pattern is based off of a few different general raglan designs, but you know, with more cables. There are some more exciting things tentatively planned for this cardigan, so keep your eyes peeled!

In Which Cabling Begins Anew!

Lovely ladies and gentlemen! I give to you the start of the back portion of the Aran Cardigan. It's about 23" wide (when blocked) and at this point about 8" long (around halfway to underarms) after like 3 and a half days of knitting. This project is ripping along! I promise more information about pattern/design soon, or even sooner if y'all harass me.

In which I grump

Grr argh!

I am on the verge of running out of yarn for Bridgewater. I got an LYS to order some in for me, but I've put it on hold until the yarn arrives so that I can blend dyelots if need be. Double frustrating because I have half of the edging done, and my thesis draft is due on Friday - perfect timing for a big old hunker down and watch a few seasons of TV fest. But no, I ran out of yarn...

Which means that it is time to cast one for another large project that I have been putting off for a while: an Aran Cardigan! These photos are kind of awful, but have some swatches anyway (it's been a long day).

In which I am moving e-house

Hello lovelies! I've decided to move shop!

You can find me over at http://michaelknits.blogspot.com now. I've moved over all my old posts, and I won't delete this site, but please redirect your blog-readers and whatnot to the new blog.

I'm working on some new photos, so hang tight.

In which I begin anew

Hello and welcome, peoples!

It was time for a bit of a change, nothing major though. I felt that I had shifted away from my old domain a bit, and I've settled in here now. Content will all be the same, so spread the word and let's see if I can't get some lovely new photos up for you all soon.

In which everything goes quiet

Oh hey peoples.
I'm still knitting (I've finished the big lace border, and started the lace edging on Bridgewater!), but I'm also snowed in under piles of books and thesis and end-of-term work.
I'll be back in a week or two.

In which there is a corner missing

Oof friends, it is coming, it is coming...

It is squooshy.



And it is woolly.



And it is almost a square!

In which I swatch

I have reached the midpoint of the garter portion of Bridgewater! I have also completed swatch v.1 for the lace border. I'm going to tweak the corner section and re-swatch... Other than that, I think it'll look good (and I even have a recipient in mind finally)
