Thea Turnip: July 2010

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 18, 2010. I am still here. I haven't fallen off a cliff. I just have been doing other things and not using the main computer or my camera. I have gotten a bit of spinning done. I tried to work on the Alpaca from a few years ago (from the alpaca named Sienna), but 2 of the 3 balls were very matted. I gave up and plied most of what I had, ending up with about 350 yds. A while back I went to Maryland Sheep and Wool festival. This year I took a class on a knitted Gansey. View my complete profile.

Thea Turnip: October 2010

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 31, 2010. Pattern: Ballet from Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks. I then had to start another pair of socks. I decided doing 2 at a time was too hard to use as travel knitting, so I followed the same book, but I am doing only one at a time. This also allows me to use the dpns instead of magic loop.

Thea Turnip: June 2011

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 05, 2011. I have almost cleaned off my needles. There is still a list of things to do, but they haven't been cast-on yet. First here is the group of us in the tutus from the last post. We performed well with no major issues or injuries and had fun, so that passes all of my criteria. It was a lot of work for 2 minutes of dance, but well worth it. I also finished up the afghan for Warm-up America. Last year's was very ugly, so I made this one all myself instead of sewing up mis. Teddy Bear (61...

Thea Turnip: April 2011

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 03, 2011. Have finished a pair of socks. They sparkle. I am not sure I like the fit of the toe-up heel flap, maybe I need to make the foot section shorter? I did knit these on dpns. Since I don't like the magic loop or 2- circ. Methods, but I followed the pattern from 2-at-a-time-toe-up-socks. I continue to work on Darin's sweater. I have both sleeves and the back done. I don't think he will get to wear it before next fall, but maybe the way Ohio weather is going, he might. Box, but discove...

Thea Turnip: February 2011

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 22, 2011. I signed up for the In Dreams knit-a-long. I am really liking the shawl so far. The actual knitting is easy, but the hard part is all them time needed to put the beads on. So far with clue 1 we used 364 beads and clue 2 needed 912. Here are the pictures of clue 1 and 2. Sunday, February 06, 2011. The boy is almost 10 already! Tomorrow is the boy's birthday and he will be 10. Oy, where does time go? I have a sock that is on-going, a sweater for Darin, and I joined the In Dreams...

Thea Turnip: December 2010

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 19, 2010. Nutcracker 2010 is done! Today were the two performances of the Nutcracker for this year. I was a Party Adult and it was the first performance in point shoes for me since 1990! All went well, but it was a long day. I haven't finished much knitting recently. I did finish the mittens for the mitten tree at church. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Nutcracker 2010 is done! The Accident Prone Knitter. Purple Haze for K.

Thea Turnip: December 2011

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 11, 2011. I also created the Sugar Plum costume. I can't take credit for the tunic, but I was able to match the trim with trim currently available at Jo-Ann's. There are a few things I need to fix before the next performance, but I think it worked really well. The next thing to make is a storage case so the costume can be used again next year.

Thea Turnip: November 2011

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 01, 2011. I haven't been knitting much for a bit because I turned this:. OK, so it isn't quite done yet. I still have to sew down the straps and add the boning and make a few minor adjustments. I plan on test-dancing in it tomorrow at class to see what else needs to be adjusted.

Thea Turnip: It is finally fall

http://theaturnip.blogspot.com/2011/09/it-is-finally-fall.html

Saturday, September 17, 2011. It is finally fall. I love the return of cooler weather. Now I can wear the sweater I just finished. Green Apple Bohus sweater with a reduced number of colors. I used KnitPicks Palette, but instead of 5 shades of red/pink used only 3. The hardest parts were the rounds with 3 colors being used. The sleeves and body knit quickly and I didn't get bored. I also finished spinning my Tour-de-Fleece project:. Night Owl, Merino, Spunky Eclectic club, 803 yds, 4oz. I got this at The ...
