knit much?
I’ve been knitting up a storm. I knit up a Calorimetry that ended up way too big. But I wore it any way sledding on Sunday. I just ended up tying it in a knot in the back.
I finished the cable eight top awhile back, but I’ve yet to take a pic of it. And I knit myself a Ruffles and Ridges Scarf (PDF) adding another repeat to make it wider and I used two balls of the Misti Alpaca in Cream to match my cabled hat.
In other knitting news, I found this great free knitting graph paper. And I just got in a big shipment of the favorite Malabrigo colors at Tangle. Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier this week that there are a few things on sale at Tangle too, including the Very Best Sock Kits.
I’m still working on my Sweater Workshop Sweater after putting it down for several months. Mostly I’m motivated because I want my 32″ size 8 Addi Turbos out of it to knit Jim a pair of alpaca fingerless mitts and I’m too lazy to move the sweater onto waste yarn. Plus, I’d love to have another sweater to wear in these freezing temperatures. It’s a balmy 8 degrees right now with a slight hope that by Saturday our high will rise above freezing.
I’m off to boot the dog out of my seat, snuggle under a blanket, see what my TiVo has to offer me and work on my sweater.

Ugh, I know about the cold. It made me go into high gear on my sweater I’m working on right now, especially since I have to walk to work every at 3 am. Man, it’s cold at 3 am.

Eeep! I’m so excited to knit the ruffles scarf… I just happen to have misty alpaca that I don’t know what to do with!
I hear you about the cold, I’m ready to move. Come on summer!
I’ve been thinking of getting TiVo, purely for the reason of saving the Dog Whisperer. Is it worth it?

those calorimetries are cute–
with the fierce wind we’ve had, i’m afraid that i’d need to layer a wool cap over…egads, it’s cold!
