Everyday I Love You Less and Less
Reference Well, I am still working on Mr. Penney’s sweater. Sigh. The sleeves, the back, and the one front half are done. What remains is the other half of the front and the collar, followed by sewing the whole thing up. All of my knitting time (which is not a lot lately because of the…

Movin’ Right Along
Reference Woohoo! I am still here! Either I don’t have the time to right a post, or I don’t have the light to take pictures for the post. In any case, here is an update. I am at the point on the back of Mr. Penney’s sweater that I am working the diamonds. All of…

Lucky
Reference Well, I finished the second sleeve of Mr. Penney’s sweater. (Your eyes aren’t fooling you. That is the same picture from the last post. But the second sleeve looks just like it, which is the point, anyway.) I had started the sleeves, originally planning on them to be one solid color. When I realized…

Diamonds
Reference Well, as promised, fiber content! I am making progress on Mr. Penney’s sweater. Enough progress that you might actually get an indication of the design. The yarn itself is ok to work with. I am used to merino yarns that consist of thinner plies (thus, more plies) than this yarn. I am just not…

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
You put the boom-boom into my heart, You send my soul sky-high when your lovin’ starts. Jitterbug into my brain, Goes a-bang-bang-bang ‘til my feet do the same. Reference As I said, they are done. Of the two pictures, this one best depicts the colors. I just did the sock as toe-up with an after-thought…

A Boy Named Sue
Reference Back in second grade CCD class, we had a “mock” mass as practice for our First Holy Communion. The sermon was about Jesus being our shepherd and that we were all sheep. (At the time, the image of sheep made us all think of adorable cotton balls with heads; while years later, a different…

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’
Reference You might think from this post that I have a huge case of startitis, but I have a very logical excuse explanation for all of it. No. Really. I do. First off, I have finally started Mr. Penney’s sweater. More specifically, the sleeve of his sweater. As you can see in the picture, I…

Right Here Waiting
Reference Well, here is the status on the socks: Sorry for the blurry picture. And I don’t even have caffeine to blame it on! Jitterbug first. I am kind of surprised at how this is turning out. The color is pooling something fierce. Also, I am wondering how they dye this yarn. I am…

Undone – The Sweater Song
Reference Ok, here some of the ideas I have for Mr. Penney’s sweater: First, I think it should be an outdoors kind of sweater, as it is a heavier yarn and might be too bulky for just wearing around the house. (I believe Mr. Penney goes for thinner knits for indoors.) For some reason, I…

Same Script, Different Cast
Reference And they are done! They turned out ok. I think I might not do the Double Basketweave stitch pattern again with Trekking, though I do like the pattern. I also realized after the last entry on these socks that there is a repeat to the yarn’s colorway. On these socks, it is about 2″…
