The past two months I've been lucky to post twice a month. What's with that? (This is the blogger who at one time...posted daily!) I blamed it for awhile on my AWOL mojo, but we all knew that was just an excuse, right? Lazy? Uninspired? Distracted? Who knows? Even Freddy has been uncharacteristically silent.....although he really REALLY wanted to tell you all about his foray into restricted territory with the Halloween candy. A belly ache sort of shut him down.
I totally 'get it'...those of you who have jumped ship to instagram. Just so you know....I miss you. A whole lot.
After my extended silence, I'm not sure anyone is even still visiting here. But just in case there are a few die-hard knitters still haunting my space....I'm going to try to beef up the posts. I actually have been knitting. (I even have a few FO that just need their Kodak moment.)
The above baby blanket...a rather quick little project, but the perfect size, the perfect pattern (take that to mean mindless....I read Anthony Horowitz's The House of Silk while knitting it) and it came in at a respectable price to make it a nice little gift. Just 2.5 skeins of Saratoga.
Not sure what this is about... the somewhat monogamous knitter I've become. Needing a new project, I did go to the unending WIP pile and pulled out Idlewild, a lovely pullover by Julie Hoover that for some reason I stopped knitting after completing the front and half the back. Maybe the fact that I was knitting it with sport weight yarn and it calls for worsted weight might have had something to do with the fact that I was thinking it just wasn't going to be the oversized, throw-on for all occasions knit I had hoped. So, I ripped it out.
There is always a silver lining. Look what I found?
MY FAVORITE JENNY the POTTER stitch marker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I immediately cast on Koto Pullover (don't ask, of course, I could have jumped back in that WIP pile, but what's the fun in that?)...brooklyntweed (using some old yarn in the stash) and I am one very happy camper! knitter!!
Stay tuned!
