Remember my pledge to complete one UFO (unfinished object) per week? I’m thinking I need to revise it to “work on” one UFO every week. This week? I finished machine quilting the second twin quit for the boys’ bunk beds [whenever we get them]. Ah, yes! No more safety pins that might rust in my […]

St. Brigid OR The Things We Do For Love
Posted in Knitting on May 9th, 2007
I got my yarn for knitting St. Brigid – Cascade 220 color 9332 (sapphire) – on April 20th and cast on that weekend. I also got yarn to make a sweater for Steve – charcoal grey Cascade 220. Here is St. Brigid in all its glory (three repeats finished in this picture, four repeats finished […]

Posted in Knitting on May 1st, 2007
I just came across the greatest blog this morning: Stash and Burn. Recently they had a contest – how many UFO’s (knit-speak for UnFinished Objects) you have and what are they?

The Cascade and Plymouth Galway are very nice, but I’ve had bad experiences with knitting beautiful sweaters with those yarns only to have them felt […]
Swatch-o-rama
Posted in Knitting on Mar 29th, 2007
I started swatching for St. Brigid last night. Yes, I’m swatching…but for more reasons than just getting gauge. I’m trying to decide what color yarn I want to use…in fact, what yarn to use. The two colors I have in the Classic Elite Skye Tweed are medium dark and light. I’m thinking the cables would […]
