Thursday Thing and Knitting

My eyelashes drive me crazy, yes I know they are long and pretty, yada yada yada, but they get into everything, like cat hair. When I say everything I mean everything, not just my eyes, which is frustrating. Earlier I was eating a bowl of ravioli and I found one in that; why can't my eyelashes stay attached to my face, where they belong?

On to the knitting.

Over the last week or so I got a lot of stuff done, I finished the scarf for my dad on his birthday:



I also finished the "Felted Rug;" it was a disaster:



So I cut it into pieces:



I made a scarf out of Baby Llama, which is deliciously soft, and needs blocking.

I also restarted the cursed sock, and made a colossal mistake while turning the heel: so I frogged it, again:



And once again made a sock yarn porcupine:



I got a ton of work done on the green and black afghan.

And finally I am done with all but the second handle of the linen mesh market bag:



I told you I got a lot done!

With love from Carat Land.

My computer had a slight melt down, and this one is refusing to recognize my camera, otherwise you would have lots of pretty pictures to ooh and ahh over. In a minute I will try a restart and see if that helps at all.

This week in the wide wide world of my knitting:

I casted on a sock, knit the toe, frogged it, cast it on again, knit the toe and part of the arch, frogged it, cast it on again, knit the toe, frogged it, cast it on again... see a pattern? Right now it is a "sock yarn porcupine" I figured stabbing the yarn with tiny DPNs would make it more cooperative when I came back to the sock.

I've also cast on, and frogged my traveling scarf three times now, twice in one yarn, once in another. The first yarn is lovely soft, but the ply is so loose it has no stitch definition, grrr.

Tin's Scarf got blocked and is ready to send, as soon as I have an address (Tin?)

Dad's scarf did not get finished, but most of the felted rug did, including most of the seaming and weaving in of ends.

Of course my knitting ADD means I have cast on yet another project, a mesh tote bag. It's farmers market season here in Waxahachie so it should be quite handy in the near future.

That is all I can think of at the moment. Off to try the re-boot, and hope that the camera likes it.

Bwahahahaha

Duct Tape is kinky, don't ask me why.

I missed yesterday so:

Rage of the Week!

From Tuesday March 4

"Note To Self:

Freeze a few eggs until I'm ready?No.
Freeze a few men until they're ready?Yes!
Always use birth control - never use mirth control!"


The last bit was kind of eh, mirth control? but I liked the rest of it.

and for the Knitting Update:
I didn't get a whole hell of a lot done this week. I finished the pine needle gloves and worked about a foot and a half of Tin's scarf. I also created a pattern that involved way too much thinking, but that's relative because I was drunk at the time.

Next week I'm heading to the middle of freaking no where for spring break, so if I don't post it's because I have no internet connection.

Two Two Two Updates in one!

Knitting Update!
This week I got a ton of work done on my Green and Black Afghan, there is still a bunch more work to go, but it is supposed to take a long time, it's a freaking blanket.

I also worked quite a bit on my French Market bag. I only need 2 1/2 inches of the round part before I start knitting the handles.

I casted on a scarf for Tin made of Pattons Classic Marino in Chestnut Brown.

Tomorrow I will finish up the second pine-needle fingerless glove.

I'm working on a new technique for making hats, as soon as I have it figured out I will cast on a hat for Barker. In the meantime I'm keeping an eye out for blue, orange, and white yarn that feels good.

When I get all of the small projects done I plan on playing some more with color, I would really like to figure out intarsia and stranding(fairisle.)


Writing Update!

I wrote 10 pages this week, and got a crap load of research done; I now know more about the anatomy of a horse's foreleg than I ever expected to know.


In other news I was voter 111 in precinct 111 here in Texas. I found that highly amusing.

Oh and, Puppies have names; if that made any sense to you give me a call.

With Love From Carat Land!
