Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Knitting Blog..
Yes.. it's time to talk about knitting again... No more hurricane talk... no more talk about traffic or trailers or moms being crazy with worry.
My package from eBay was here when we got home tonight... Just sitting there.. waiting... lonely.. covered in bubble wrap. So I let them out..
I feel better as a knitter now that I have more of an assortment of crochet hooks. Allthough I still feel guilty for being so picky about them. They work great though.. I already began the edging on my Voli.. I think I'm going to continue on with it.. I'm liking how it's turning out.
What I'm not so sure I like is how my arms look while I'm wearing the shirt... It's weird.. I looked at myself in the mirror and my tiny arms were looking more..... muscular than usual. Totally strange.. I know that's a weird complaint.. and maybe totally unfounded.. but I also notice that my arms look really.. LONG.. in it too.. And hey.. it's not really the shirt's fault... I do have really long gangly arms.. but ya know.. whatever. lol.
I'm not frogging again.. I'll wear it.. It looks nice.. I like the stripes and I like the feel of it..
I just might wear it with a jacket..
No harm in that is there?
In other knitting news.. I got to the arm hole bindoffs on my Ribby2.. It got a little touch and go when I was trying to figure out exactly how to go about doing it... Considering that the pattern isn't written to be knitted the way I am knitting it.. but tomarrow when I get my camera out of our luggage I'll post a picture of my progress.
I actually had to frog a few rows... I had knitted a half inch too much before the bindoffs... I thought I was being so careful too.. but those really loooooong rows make you feel like you'll never get there so you don't worry about obsessively measuring every other row. I should have known better.
But it's all good now.
I'm really sleepy and I'm going to have to revert back to school mode in atleast two days... so the knitting may slow down a tad.
...I still keep meaning to get one more swatch done for the vinegar test... I really should do that.
..But we'll see if I actually do it. Lol.

About Me

- Name:Kim
- Location:Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
