Bus Hat #2

I couldn't stand the thought of not having bus knitting so I started another hat right away. I will need to find someone I like a lot to give this extra hat to. I love this yarn so much but I don't actually need two identical hats...

Bus Hat finished!

Wow that felt intensely fast! Just a few weeks of knitting every day on the bus and I'm already done. The pattern is Bankhead, and it was exactly perfect for bus knitting: not quite as boring as plain stockinette, but simple enough that I could knit mindlessly when I wasn't quite awake yet in the...

Harmonize Shawl progress (16)

Tonight I got two whole rows done! No cables to blame for my slowness this time. Instead I will blame the margarita I had at happy hour with my friends. I am so glad that I love the way this shawl looks because it motivates me to keep going even though it's slow. I also...

Harmonize Shawl progress (15)

If this photo looks a lot like the last one I posted, there's a good reason. I only managed to knit one row. I really need to learn how to c2f/c2b without using a cable needle. Maybe that will help these rows take slightly less than an eternity. The shawl just keeps getting bigger and...

Bus Hat progress (2)

I didn't get any knitting done over the weekend at all. I spent most of my time cleaning and unpacking. My creative contributions were making a pizza from scratch, and putting together Ikea furniture. Since I don't have any new shawl progress to show, you get to see the progress on my bus hat instead....

Harmonize Shawl progress (14)

The lighting in this picture is bad but at least you can see the progress I've made this week. It has definitely been slow going since I got to the cable rows, but it looks fantastic so it will all be worth it in the end.

Bus Hat progress

I'm alive! And so is my internet! I figured I'd update you on my bus knitting first since that's what I've had a chance to work on every day. I've been experimenting with the schedule a bit to figure out what works for me. I discovered that the commute can range from 15 minutes to...

Weekend Catch-up

The good news is that I moved out of my apartment and into a new house near my new job. The bad news is that since the move I have been without any internet at home! I've gotten loads of knitting done but haven't been able to update about it here all week. In the...

Harmonize Shawl progress (12)

This is it. RIP my rate of progress. Most of the rest of this shawl has cables everywhere. I really love the way they look but they slow me down so much. At least this will give me lots of practice with them.

Harmonize Shawl progress (11)

I cheated by posting a mostly cat photo yesterday, so today you get an actual progress photo of all the work I did since last week. Mostly because I am back in my tiny apartment with no cats so I can't give you a cat photo again today. BUT! This is my last night in...

Harmonize Shawl progress (10)

I'm back! I'm still not really moved into my new place yet but I wanted to post my progress anyway. I managed to get a few more sections of this shawl done over the past few days while I was at home. To be honest I was using it as a bit of procrastination/stress relief...

Completed in January: Diagon Alley Socks A Dishcloth (and some matching coasters) A different Dishcloth An Earwarmer Current WIPs: Giant Red Blanket...
