I sold my wheel

I have someone coming up next weekend to buy my wheel.  That’ll free up some space in my apartment, especially since I moved to a smaller apartment.
I’m not sure where my camera is packed, so I can’t take any pictures of my new spindles (two new Bosworth’s) and the socks I finished.
Hopefully, I find my [...]

New project

I’ve had the initial twitchings of startitis, but since I’m not allowed to work on more than two projects at a time (type discipline into the search box if you don’t know what I’m talking about), it has been frustrating.  Because the energy of startitis doesn’t naturally move into a desire to hurry up and [...]

A spindle as cute as a bug’s ear and finally I got batteries for my camera!

I haven’t even sold my wheel yet, but I’m adding to my spindle collection.  Check this out.  It’s a Jenkin’s Turkish Delight that I bought from Spunky Eclectic.

You may be wondering why I bought a turkish spindle, especially since I my other Jenkin’s spindle is listed for sale.  Well, I am intrigued by turkish spindles.  [...]

Stalling…stalling

I only have  a little bit more to go on my socks, then that will free up a slot for a new project.  I really am itching to work on something new, so I’m not  sure why I haven’t worked on my socks for weeks.
But yesterday, I finally figured it out.  My next project in [...]

A mishmosh of stuff

Damn batteries
I figured it was time for another post, and I got my camera to take pictures of my socks-in-progress.  But my batteries are dead…AGAIN!
I bought rechargeable batteries, and it seems like I can only use my camera once before they are dead.  I really wasted my money on those damn batteries.
Still disciplined
Anyway, I’m still [...]

Argh, socks!

So, due to my new discipline, I can only work on two projects at any one time.  I’m on the third piece of my EZ garter stitch blanket, which is almost done, then just one more piece and then the seaming.  My other project is a pair of socks that were languishing half done.  I [...]

Such a deal!

I was at Ben Franklin Crafts today looking for some red yarn to make a coworker a scrunchie.  I noticed they had some solid colored sock yarn.  I have been thinking for a long time about making a sweater with fingering weight yarn.  I know it will take longer, but I think the drapeyness will [...]

I can’t remember…is knitting supposed to be enjoyable?

I don’t know how typical of a knitter I am in that I start numerous projects, and it may be months before I finish something, simply because projects are picked up and abandoned willy nilly.
Back in October of last year, I started a pair of socks with a beautiful quasi-solid hand-dyed sock yarn.  I got [...]

Happy Birthday to me!

It’s my birthday on Wednesday. I’ll be 39. I’m leaving for the Oregon coast tomorrow, staying all day Wednesday, and coming back on Thursday. I am certain I will find many things to do, but I had to pack knitting and spinning…just in case. And not just one knit project. [...]

Uh-oh

I’ve got way too many WIP’s. I’ve gotten myself overwhelmed to the point where I can’t summon up the strength to knit any of them. Yeah, I need to strike a balance between being an anal-retentive-one-project-at-a-time person and a flighty-I’ve-got-a-knitting-project-for-every-letter-of-the-alphabet person. So, I decided no more new projects until I get the [...]
