Today I finished my red convertible mittens and they turned quite well, though I’m not yet sure I’ll be wearing them much.

Just a tiny little post today to show off my Blackrose mittens: Blackrose Mittens They turned out really well, are great to wear and look simply amazing. It’s the same pattern I already used for the socks I blogged about in my previous post. There is only one thing I’d do differently… that is, should [...]

Today I finally finished the pair of socks, I started to knit last month during a 4 hour train ride to V. to attend a congress there. That’s why I’m calling them by the terribly creative name “Train- Socks”. The pattern looks quite complicated and intricate but was supereasy and fun to knit. In fact [...]

At the moment I’m down with a nasty cold and more or less had to spend all week in bed. After feeling absolutely miserable for the first few days I’m somewhat better now and also rather bored. To make time pass faster I did a lot of knitting. I finished those 9 to 5 socks, [...]

Grrrr!!! (or Cats and their love for wet knitting)
Posted in knitting, personal, rant, Whatever on August 16, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Apparently the best place for my cat to have an extended afternoon nap is soaking wet knitting. Grrrr! Kitty fast asleep on Blinky Normally she’d never go near anything that looks like it might possibly be a tiny little bit wet, BUT whenever there is wet knitting around she seems to feel the sudden urge [...]
