new cuffs and a trip to the city
Mar. 28th, 2007 | 11:19 am
So, everybody. I am starting a WordPress blog. five gallon bucket. I want some options that I don't get here, and I have been considereing it for awhile. as you can see by the following, I am still going to post here (as sporadically as I do), but fopr those of you who are outside of the LJ world, please sete your bookmarks to the new site. I will be tediously moving over old posts, and recategorizing them, so I won't lose all my blog history. (Just the comments! :()
Here is my latest FO, a pair of knit cuffs for a swap. They turned out well! Although they a bit dull to knit (well, the trimmings are fun, of course.)
Yesterday I drove into Portland for a Glitter meetup. How I love the internet! (Sometimes.) I really love seeing the connections made manifest in real life.
We met at Mabel's Knit Cafe which is a delight to spend several hours in. Yarn was purchased, patterns were perused, fos were ogled over. I saw examples of two of the projects I have considered over the years: eyelet from knitty, and the Sunrise Circle jacket from interweave press. I am particularly inspired to make this now that I have seen it in the flesh. The proprietress of Neither Hip nor Funky has made one and it is everything it ought to be. Very striking! More on that later.
Of course, a trip to Portland meant seeing the lovely Kate (represented here by her flickr page), with all the yarn giggling and BPAL chatter that we have become accustomed to. I got to see Kate's shetland lace shawl which is so floaty, and besides, the yarn has quite a history between us. The skeins have been passed back and forth between us several times now. In fact, I took some of the extra home with me yesterday.
Since I am speaking of things passed between Kate and I. Here are a couple as-of-yet-unblogged examples. It's about time I show them off!
I made a log cabin pillow for Kate's hubby.
This project I have been meaning to do since Yule...
I am loving the different stories these fabrics have been a part of. Several of them are recurring, as a study of my log cabins will show.
And Kate made for me a thing that is small in size and HUMUNGOUS in spirit.
This pocket holds the music of Alela Diane, who is a wonderful song weaver. You can listen to some her music at her myspace page. (Sigh, myspace.)
One more photo to send you out.
coal fire. It's a good life.
