Duck Knits: February 2007
http://duckknits.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
So I took out the basic raglan sweater I was knitting out of grey Malabrigo and started on Eris the Second. Here's the body so far. I'm working on the hem right now, which is knit on sideways:. By the way, because I'm vain I have to say this - I'm making this oversized. I do not require my sweater to be that wide, I'm just going for comfort. That is all. :). Here's a detail of the hem, which I find just so frigging neat in its construction:. And a close-up of the collar. Best Colourway. For. Me&#...I tho...

Knittin' Kitten: Tour de Fleece 2015 Update
http://knittnkitten.blogspot.com/2015/07/tour-de-fleece-2015-update.html
Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Tour de Fleece 2015 Update. Work has been crazed. So I have been taking pics, but didn't have a lot of time to *do* anything with them! I finished the Into the Whirled batt singles by the end of day Two! It also plied up quickly. So I suspect there won't be tons of yardage, but it was fun. I confess that I just didn't care for the Falkland. But, could just be me.

Knittin' Kitten: Why NOT to Overfill Your Bobbins

Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Why NOT to Overfill Your Bobbins. I swear that read that the Woolee Winder bobbins were supposed to hold 5 oz. Though of course, I looked again now and can't find anything of the sort. So maybe I was imagining it.). So I tried to stuff the 4.8 oz. of the Loop Bump on one bobbin. I knew I was pushing my luck. But I only have three high speed bobbins. Jersey City,...

Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. It has been bitterly cold. I have not wanting to take off wool socks *at all*. Unfortunately, our heat is controlled by our landlord. The one that sets the thermostat is from Poland and thinks 65 for the day is just fine! I went to put on my Maeve socks. THERE IS A MASSIVE HOLE ON THE BALL OF THE FOOT! Though they might have been earlier than fall. I really ne...

So the Tour de Fleece is over for 2015. I spin every day but one of the two rest days. And even then I skeined one of the yarns. Most years I don't get to spin that much. Something comes up. But I was very focused and did well. Though this morning I looked at my wheel and was sad to see it empty! Here are my finished TdF yarns.

My DH is awesome. He made me a warping board and large swifts back when I was dyeing yarns. He is pretty nifty. And he really tries to get me presents I really want. But since the Littles came into the picture, half the time we have skipped presents for each other. The kids come first. Then I tried a Knit Picks one.

Http:/ the-panopticon.blogspot.com/2012/07/yarnworthy.html. Love this chart on where ti knit or buy! Audience is key.

Knittin' Kitten: June 2015

Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Have been putting forth this idea of a Stash Dash for several years now. The idea is to use up your stash. The Empress is Laura (aka Lala on Ravelry.). She decides on the rules. This year, they had three options. Either 3K, 5K or 10K. I decided to go for the 5K this year. I made a lame attempt last summer. And didn't get anywhere close. Also inspired by a podcaster.

Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. I am really trying to finish stuff. It is unlike me to have so much on my needles and so little finished. So I am trying to get things off my WIP list. Add the beads and then double knot the edge so said beads don't fall off. The scarf/neckwarmer was knit in 2010! But given I am over half way through, I can't do it. So I press on with it. Storied Yarns Superwas...

Knittin' Kitten: What a Difference a Good Soak Makes
http://knittnkitten.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-difference-good-soak-makes.html
Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. What a Difference a Good Soak Makes. So I think I was way too hard on Falkland. I think I was trying to get it to do what was in my head instead of letting it do its thing. With the Into the Whirled batt, I was struggling with it to start. I wanted a shawl in a nice light weight yarn. I did the two ply to make a shawl. But it didn't want to spin thin. What a diffe...
