Blaze is dead

I took it off the needles to rip back the cable mistake, and decided to try it on. Good thing – it’s just huge on me. Huge. There’s no way to save it, so I guess at some point I’ll have to rip the whole thing. I’m just not ready yet, [...]

Kung Hee Fat Choy!

I definitely miss Chinese New Year in Hawaii. I went to the celebration here last year, and not only does San Diego not really have a Chinatown, their celebration is, well, kind of small and depressing.
I looked on my Christmas list and realized that I have yarn for all but two presents. Those [...]

February Knit-off

First off, Marisa has started blogging! Go say hi.
Natalie and I have too much yarn. Well, I have WAY too much yarn, and Natalie has a little bit too much. I will not be publicly admitting my stash count anytime soon.
Anyway, a couple months ago, after we did the [...]

Finally, some pictures around here!

I didn’t have tons of time last night, I fixed the blog and ate dinner first, but then I settled down for some work with Blaze. I finished up the second sleeve and attached it, then I realized I had to bite the bullet and do the kitchener right then, as all of those [...]

Blaze progress

I went to a Stitch ‘n Bitch last night, which was lots of fun just like last time. I got more work done on Blaze, despite at one point forgetting what row I was on and neglecting to cable. At this point I’m cabling without a cable needle. I don’t think the [...]

Back from LA!

I had thought I’d be able to write a blog entry after I got home last night and still make my “one per day” ideal, but John and I ended up missing our train (LA traffic). So instead of getting home at around 11 pm, I got home at 1 am. As a [...]

I finished the round robin

This round robin was a quilt theme. I went for a simpler design to get it done with quickly. I used the DMC variegated flosses for this, 5 hours of stitching. (I didn’t stitch the border – that was done by the owner of the piece).

I also knitted four coasters yesterday and [...]
