Summer is almost halfway over, thank goodness

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:15:52 -0400

I'm not a fan of hot weather, especially not the humid variety of hot we get here in the Mid-Atlantic states. I usually don't do much crafting in the summer, but I guess I'm subconsciously (or maybe consciously) trying to will summer to be over b...

So I really am knitting

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:29:22 -0400

After finishing the Stackable Cat, I kind of ran out of oomph. Mr. G's sweater is still sitting there wanting to be knitted, but it's a sea of stockinette and not especially interesting to knit. I don't have much time to knit lately, so the tim...

Another project finished

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:41:52 -0400

I just finished the Stackable Cat pattern (medium size cat) from Mochimochi Land. It took me a little under a month to make, though in terms of actual knitting time, I'd say I could have finished it in a day, maybe two since you felt the pieces ...

Knitting noodling

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:47:32 -0400

Progress has been slow but steady on Mr. G's sweater. It's a sea of stockinette for the most part, which makes for good TV knitting, but at the same time it's dead boring to knit. I'm at about inch 8 from the hem and I need to go another 10 inc...

New Knitty, lots of grouching

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 07:51:40 -0400

Emma's Unmentionables: Eh. I'm not a huge fan of bloomers for little girls over a year old or so. Charm Shrug: Again, eh. I have a body type on which shrugs are insanely unflattering, so I'm pretty over shrugs in general. Juju: I do not unders...

I decided

...and cast on for the Cobblestone Pullover. Here is the Ravelry link if you're interested, though honestly it doesn't look like much right now. I'm finding that ~250 stitches of stockinette and garter stitches make for good TV knitting, but it ...

I'm on a knitting binge

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:41:59 -0500

Winter must be knitting time for me. Not only have I finished hats for the older boys, socks and mittens for the baby, and socks for Mr. G, but I'm in the home stretch on Little R's yellow sweater. So... what to do next? I have some Zitron Lo...

Man, am I feeling lame

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:50:45 -0500

I've been checking out other people on Ravelry and they've all got 100+ projects listed... I'm at twelve. Sad. :) I suppose I'd be closer to about twenty if I'd really put everything I've knit, but honestly, how interesting are plain hats and b...

It's a lot harder to update this now that they've blocked Vox at work

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:16:09 -0500

But here I am nonetheless, making arguably less than ideal use of my time during a vacation day, but it is what it is. I should be cleaning the house, or packing... especially packing since we leave for Disneyworld in seventeen hours or so, but I...

Brushing the dust off...

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. G) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:15:29 -0400

Been a few months, hasn't it? I'd love to say that I've been doing a ton of knitting and sewing, but well, I just haven't. Those who are on my LJ friendslist know why... I've been working on a rather important and time-consuming WIP that I antic...
