Thrive to spite them
I'm in a knitting block. I finished one fingerless glove to match my scarf. It's not a written pattern, just something that K (owner of the LYS) helped me figure out. I have the first one done but this second one - I know what I need to do. I wanted this done before I went to Maine but I guess I'm going to put it away until I come back.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
askye, that exact thing is why I keep meaning to start making both socks in a pair at once. The bugger of it is that I never remember that I meant to do that until I'm halfway through one sock and already starting to dread starting all over on the second.
It'll be there when you get back.

I'm giving up on the fingerless glove from hell.
I started on the scarf I'm giving Mom from Christmas. It's this one [link] and I'm making it with this yarn [link] the color 7460. Although it looks much brighter on my computer screen than in real life. I cast on my stitches really tight so now I'm debating just suffering through or pulling it all out and recasting on.
I almost made it in this Juniper Moon silk - merino blend [link] the Marlowe about half way down. Only none of those colors looked like Mom.
The yarn shop has the Findley Dappled in -it's lace weight and so pretty.http://www.knittingfever.com/c/juniper-moon-farm/yarn/findley-dappled/#t.
I'm turning into a yarn snob.

Art Crawl!!!
Ooh, that is pretty.
Today it was cold enough that I wore the sweater I finished during the Ravellenic Games. This is the one I started in October 2010.

That scarf has been put on hold. I broke the circular needles (really nice ones too) trying to pull off the yarn because I cast on way too tight. This was the second attempt to cast on and doing it too tight. So I bought new needles and yarn at a chain store and I'm making myself the same scarf as practice. Which is good because I had to pull it out twice. I'm not sure why I'm having so much problems knitting.

Trust my rage
I started a sweater in 1994. I still have the pieces. It is just missing a sleeve and a half. But it is so out of style now that I would never wear it.
Eta: before that I had finished lots of sweater and scarves and mittens. I love to knit. Maybe I should try a new project over Christmas or something.

Hey. New board.
I just started working on a sock that I stopped working on about 20 months ago. Socks are tedious and cramp my hands, but they're the only knitted thing I actually like to wear! Conundrum.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Gris, maybe use thicker yarn, so you can use bigger needles?

You too? I started a sweater in 1995 or 1996, and got everything done but the collar and the placket (it was a cardigan). I still have all the bits of it, in a tote bag in my garage...
