To Much To Load January 19, 2007

Last night I went through all of my knitting and I have a lot, I mean A LOT! There is no way that I will be able to upload all of my projects in one post (I will try). This is what I am going to do… Every Saturday in February I will post a “Project Update”. Right now I don’t have time to sit down and write a long post.

Non-Knitting: if you are into tattoo’s I will upload some of my boyfriends pictures. He soon will have a website that I will be able to link you too. Also, coming soon will be merchandises, T-shirt, stickers, bags, prints, etc… Until then you can check him out at

We Call Them Pirates Knit Along January 18, 2007

Last night I started the “We call them Pirates” knit along and I am knitting the hat. I don’t know why but I was a little confused on reading the pattern chart. Do I read right to left and then going back do I read it left to right? Or do I just always read right to left? Also, it only shows 32 stitch’s across and I casted on 128. Do I not have the right pattern? I have done color working before but I am not sure how to read this chart. I feel really dumb. I know that reading color charts should be the same.

Bad Blogger, Very Bad Blogger! January 17, 2007

I am off to a bad start on blogging. It has been very crazy at work and in life. I have not had the time to sit down and make a list of all the projects that I have going and the Projects that “Some day I will do”. I am still learning how to upload, import, and add feeds (what are feeds?), add buttons (have no idea), add flicker, etc… I need to learn a lot to get my blog started.

 

At this moment I am knitting Badcaul socks http://autoscopia.com/amelia/archives/fashionable_life_knits_patterns_to_buy/index.html , two at a time using the magic loop technique. I was going to take a class at http://articlepract.com/ in Oakland but I am going out of town for 3 weeks and will miss the class. So am teaching myself how to do the magic loop technique.

I love the yarn that I am using for them; it is call Nirvana, color #4, 50% Cashmere, 50% Silk. The yarn is from my favorite yarn store in San Francisco called Artfibers http://www.artfibers.com/. The yarn shop is right across the street from where I work and 15 min. walk from where I live (North Beach).

I hope that I can have all my projects started or not post with pictures on my blog by Sunday night.
