Autumn Knit List

Little Diva has returned to school this week, so even though it's August thoughts of autumn are in my mind. It must be a carry over from my childhood when school started in September. Anyhoo, my knitting mojo is coming back--it has been MIA since late spring(you have my most sincere apologies for lack of knitting content as of late)--and I am going to make a list of stuff I'd like to accomplish between now and the end of the year. I reserve the right to add onto/edit this list at anytime between now and December ;)

(1) hat and gloves for Diva
(2) hat and gloves for Rage
(3) annual sweater for Diva
(4) annual sweater for Rage
(5) sweater for Mommy(I actually have one on the needles that needs finishing)
(6) socks for Daddy(he doesn't want me to knit him a sweater)
(7) any Christmas gifts I may want to knit

I'd love to try Latvian gloves for both kiddos--they are just gorgeous and the options for them are limitless really.

Michaele and Wanda gave me a link to some skull argyles---that is way up there on the list for some socks!

I have really been coveting my Simple Knitted Bodice pattern--is that not a cool sweater or what? I don't think I want to spend $160 on yarn for it though, so I'll have to find an acceptable substitute.

Wow, that's quite a list! I like that pattern ... so feminine.

Everything on that list looks do-able to me and of course, there's always room to edit. I do the same! Glad you like the skull and crossbones argyle. That seems right up your alley.

Aren't the skull argyles hysterical? I love them. I may have to try them myself, one of these days. I still have a Rogue to knit, though, tons of other socks, multiple shawls... Too little time! LOL

Ooh, I like that sweater pattern. I'm sure you could substitute some much less expensive yarn, and it'd look just as good. Are you looking at the long- or short-sleeved version?

I want to make the long sleeved version--if I can make the time to do it, that is always a challenge LOL!

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Stashalong--Week 2 of 13

Image
How did everyone fair after week 1? My utmost respect goes out to all of you with the fortitude to actually enter a yarn shop and not buy yarn--as I have commented to others, you won't even see me near one in the next 3 months. I'm having so much fun popping in on everyone and I'm not pointing any fingers but I have read some interesting comments and some knitters can be very sneaky indeed--that's all I'll say. I want to introduce you to jillz ; she missed the sign ups so she is not a official member, BUT she has earned the title of "the Rogue Stashalonger". She is trying to take things one month at time. I know we all have our temptations, but she---wait for it---works in a yarn shop! As I told her, I would have cheated before I finished typing if I was working in a yarn shop(much like "The Bet" episode of Seinfeld). Little Rage's Sweater Kim : This week I have actually finished the sleeves for Little Rage's sweater and I have the...

Out of Town

Stashalongers : there will not be a post this Tuesday and you have my deepest apologies for that. My Grandfather passed away this morning and I need to get to NY. Everything should be back to normal for our Week 13 of 13 post on the 28th :) I know a few of you have jumped off the wagon and I'll have all that in my post next time. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes--he passed peacefully in his sleep and I think that's the best way to go. If there is a lighter side to this, my husband will be alone with my kiddos for more than 12 hours for the first time. You have no idea how badly I want to hide cameras around the house to see what goes on. Happy knitting everyone--no jumping off the wagon while I'm gone! Stacey and Cynthia --my gushing post about your very generous and much appreciated gifts will be up before I go--hopefully! If not then it will be up as soon as I get back :)
