Books, Snark, and Knitting: January 2010
http://biblioknits.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Books, Snark, and Knitting. Monday, January 25, 2010. This is the first time I have properly washed and blocked a lace scarf (the Juliet. Being my first lace scarf), and after leaving it unblocked and soft and cushy for months I finally got up the courage to bite the bullet and do it. Here is a before pic:. I have learned several things:. 1) This silk gets incredibly stinky when wet. Hopefully the smell will dissipate when it dries, good lord. 2) There are never enough pins, not in the entire world.

Books, Snark, and Knitting: Back to Knitting
http://biblioknits.blogspot.com/2011/01/back-to-knitting.html
Books, Snark, and Knitting. Saturday, January 1, 2011. I'm on lace repeat 23 out of 29. After that I have to set up and do the top edging, and then, ACK, unravel the provisional cast-on and pick up those stitches and do the bottom edging. That part is terrifying to me, as I've never really done a provisional cast on before. Meanwhile I will return to sitting in one place for hours on end, making nupps. HOORAY NUPPS.

Books, Snark, and Knitting. Sunday, October 31, 2010. I really don't know if I'm going to make it past.three days. I can barely write 500 words in one sitting, how the heck am I supposed to do 1667 a day? In any case, I don't expect that I'll get much sleep tonight. I will spend my last hours of freedom watching anime. As it should be! Monday, October 11, 2010. I have gone off the deep end. I am going to go completely insane. This is now absolutely certain.

Books, Snark, and Knitting: Still Amused
http://biblioknits.blogspot.com/2012/01/still-amused.html
Books, Snark, and Knitting. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. So it occurs to me that I really haven't posted anything on this blog in the LONGEST TIME and that's probably because when I'm knitting, I feel like knitting, and not taking a break to write about knitting. It's a difficult balance to acheive! I'll post a picture as soon as it stops looking like an unnecessarily warm bellydance top. :). Slow and steady wins the race. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Books, Snark, and Knitting: Taking Stock of Supplies
http://biblioknits.blogspot.com/2012/08/taking-stock-of-supplies.html
Books, Snark, and Knitting. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Taking Stock of Supplies. Since I broke down and bought new fun fiber during the yarn crawl and I still feel guilty for having so many projects unfinished (FOUR! And one hibernating shawl! I figure the best way to get myself motivated to finish more things is to have a nice inventory of what I have to work with. I am, as the yarn harlot says, tossing my stash. So here goes:. TWO (2) ish ounces Myers House Weaving Dept roving, wool (shortish staple?

Books, Snark, and Knitting. Sunday, October 25, 2009. So, This weekend I've made a ton of progress on Leslie's cowl, which is great because maybe this year I'll actually be able to do knitted holiday presents for people! What I'm most proud of this weekend (which was largely spent at Innsbrook with the family for my grandma's 80th birthday party, and that was great fun for everyone, I love those folks) is that I've ventured further into the epic world of.I don't know, urban homesteading? We used the oven...

Books, Snark, and Knitting: Amusement!
http://biblioknits.blogspot.com/2011/01/amusement.html
Books, Snark, and Knitting. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Gonna start me a new project because it WON'T STOP SNOWING and the lack of sunlight is slowly driving me crazy. So here's the details:. I've had in my posession (for YEARS, mind you) a huge bag of 13 balls of KnitPicks Andean Silk. 2) The yarn, while totally gorgeous, is about Half Alpaca, with the rest of it being made up by Silk and Merino. And many of the comments on the ravelry warn unscrupulous knitters to wash their damn swatches before t...
