starting the new year with an outing
Last night, I met up with 5 other local knitters, took the MAX (lightrail) downtown, had dinner at Kenny & Zukes (so I got to have matzo ball soup for Roash Hashanah dinner, yay – and it was good, too) and then went over to Powell’s to hear Clara Parkes speak about her new book, […]
at least I get to knit on the way
Tomorrow should be interesting, if somewhat lacking in the sleep department – I’m traveling to the Santa Clara office. One of the better perks of working for Intel is getting to go on the shuttle (corporate jet) between the major offices. However, to get the maximum time there, I need to check in at 5:45 […]
birthday and Objects, Finished and Otherwise
My birthday Friday was good but unremarkable. At work, I started doing some actual useful things and joined a small weightlifting class in the gym that was actually pretty good. In the evening there was the monthly Chardon-knitting (which is where you drink wine and try not to screw up your knitting) at my LYS. […]
FOphotos
Just a couple of photos of the knitting projects I’ve just finished:
WIP and FOs, because why not
I think it’s been a really long time, since I posted any knitting photos here. This weekend will be our third Black Sheep Squared knitters’ retreat – the ‘retreat’ is basically just me inviting people to stay at our lake house in order to attend the Black Sheep Gathering in nearby Eugene. I am hoping […]
assorted updates
Sorted into what they used to call “heads” in old sermons (gratuitous L.M. Montgomery reference there) so I don’t just meander confusingly. I. Rowing and such My shoulder has been bothering me this week, to the point where I didn’t erg Wednesday or yesterday. Nothing really wrong, I don’t think, just a strain that hurts […]
forgot to say (knitting summary)
12 projects completed this year so far – socks, shawls, a cardigan, and so on. I have two on the needles at present – a summer-weight pullover I really ought to try to finish before it gets too cold, and a cowl for Mom (plenty of time, since I need to have it done by […]
weekend to dye for (sorry!)
That was a pretty good weekend. I erged a total of 20.5 km (13 Saturday, 7.5 Sunday). On Saturday after erging we headed up to Scappoose, Oregon to Blue Moon Fiber Arts, where they were having their annual barn sale and, more to the point, dyeing workshop. I keep trying to persuade Ted to learn […]
Beachglass cardigan
I got someone at knitting group to take a couple more photos for me. Ted is an excellent photographer – except of people. The local yarn store owner’s pretty daughter has been doing so much modeling lately for other peoples’ patterns that I suppose it’s not surprising she’s developed an eye for good knitting photos! […]
FOs!
(FO = Finished Object, in knitterspeak.) Here’s a thing I haven’t posted for a while; I’ve mentioned my knitting, but haven’t posted any pictures or been too specific. So far this year, I have completed the following. I will include links to Ravelry for all projects – no membership is required to see them. Info […]
