I Tried to Knit Good


Well. This started as a stranding project. I was so excited about knitting with two hands. That's right. Throwing with the right and picking with the left. Then I got to the (creepy) children and I thought ok, this is where it's gonna get fun. LIKE, SO NOT. The gaps are too big to carry the yarn in back. I tried intarsia. Yah, that's difficult in the round. So I read about the Festive Knitting method. Works conceptually but this project is too small and fiddly. Finally I settled on duplicate stitch. Tons and tons of duplicate stitch.


That's a lot of ends to weave in. I don't know if my adult onset ADD can handle it.

36 Days 'Til Christmas


Congratulations to (blogless?) Sharon for winning my No Movement Move Contest! I look forward to seeing a picture of your completed smoke ring scarf thingy.

I loved reading all the comments! It was quite interesting how those 2 skeins of yarn called out to everyone so differently.

Now I haven't much time to chat today. There are 36 days left until Christmas and I have a very important project to finish!

KNIT, KNIT, KNIT!
