Setting In

      No Comments on Setting In

Today’s knitting is… sewing. And then more sewing. I got halfway around on the first sleeve and had to rip it out because it looked horrible. And it looked horrible because I always think that I remember how to set in sleeves without checking (hint: I really don’t xD). I’m making pretty good headway on the second sleeve, so hopefully… Read more »

Getting On

      No Comments on Getting On

Today has been for sitting on my backside, gaming, and knitting. I am pleased at the progress that I am making on this sleeve, especially since I’m not able to exclusively knit most of the time… hooray, ADHD brain! Still, progress is progress, and I’m over a quarter of the way done. That’s pretty cool, and it would be even… Read more »

The Power of Butts

Z messaged me this picture earlier today. He was doing another Vistaprint order, and apparently the mugs are super cheap, so he bought us a pair of butt mugs. Because butts. It’s a good thing we’re about to do a clear out of some mugs, ’cause otherwise we’d not have space for these beauties. xD Today has been productive, even… Read more »

A Definite Fit

      No Comments on A Definite Fit

I realised this morning that I was able to get an arm safely into the sleeve due to the fact I’m working the shoulder shaping. So, of course, I had to get Z to come check the fit. As you can see, it fits well, which is yay. And it looks like it’s comfortable and not too tight, which is… Read more »

Spot the Difference

      No Comments on Spot the Difference

I’ve happily been chipping away at the first sleeve, happy with the progress. I thought something looked different in the seed stitch, but I shrugged it off. And then, after 12 rows of it, I realised that I was doing double instead of single. Oh well. I’ve also decided that I cannot be bothered to do it right, so as… Read more »

You Guessums

Today’s picture comes compliments of photographer Littlerbit… your guess as to what it could be is as good as mine. I suspect that it’s the brown couch next to me, as it has a red blanket on it. That would explain a picture mainly filled with red, along with whatever nausea-inducing blurriness that fills the rest of the space. >__>… Read more »

False Starts

      No Comments on False Starts

It has, technically, snowed half a dozen times today. It’s just that said time adds up to less than half an hour, and with very little in the way of appreciable sticking to things. The biggest accumulation we have on our property is where a plastic tray was left out in the back garden; that is mainly filled with snow… Read more »

Back to Front

      No Comments on Back to Front

Today, I have hit a landmark in jumper knitting — I have cast off the back side of things, and returned to the front. I’ve got my labouriously mathed out sheets, and I get to follow that for most of the way up. So that’s a bit of relief. I hope that the front will work faster than the back… Read more »

Nearing the End…

      No Comments on Nearing the End…

I am nearing the end of the first ball of wool on this sweater — yay! I don’t know how many more rows i am going to be able to get out of the remaining red, but I’m going to get as many as possible out of it. I’m going to guess that it will do me another 2-3 rows,… Read more »

The Last Of

      2 Comments on The Last Of

The other day, Z came in with a brimming vase of roses. He’d gone out to prune the bushes before the cold came, and there were still any number of buds still on. I was well pleased to have them, especially since our varieties of roses are all smellygood ones, and I do like the smell of rose. I have… Read more »
