Lover's Quarrel

Knitting and I are fighting. I'll only cave if knitting talks first.

As promised

Batteries? check
Working USB cord and camera? check
Works in progress, recently finished stuff and plenty of pretty yarn to photograph?
Check, check and check.

Good lighting? It's 2 am in my little apartment.

Pictures will be up tommorow

Updates (or, Hello out there...I'm still alive)

I haven't forgotten about this little corner of cyberspace; in fact, the fun is only just beginning.

Since earning my bachelors degree I have a lot more time to devote to my knitting obsession, and while I'm not entirely certain that's a good thing (from a pocketbook, social life and general apperance of sanity perspective) it sure is productive.

As the sidebar currently reads, pictures will eventually be up on this thing but here's an update.

Sock is done (yes, her name is sock.) She is my first attempt at her namesake and I grafted the toe together with a paperclip and a crochet hook at three a.m. because I didn't have a tapestry needle (did I mention I'm obsessed). The grafting and the gussets are both a little wonky, and the toe's a little too square, but I can fix most of those things, it's cute and comfortable on, and so I'm happy with the result.

Sock v.2.0 is on the needles, after I had to purchase a second set because I lost my fourth size 2 dpn (I found said dpn today.) Now I can't find sock, I think she's at my parent's, but I don't want to finish v.2.0 without her, because I want to make sure they match (they can't look too homemade, after all).

My modular short row alpaca scarf is done and beautiful and I love it.

The aformentioned alpaca/wool sweater's front is half done, but the first half of the neckline and shoulder shaping needs to be frogged because I mismeasured and the neckline is at the belly button and:

1. There's not a quick fix for that.
2. I am not Jennifer Lopez, so I'm gonna assume I can't pull off said neckline.

Other projects include the cutest baby hat I've ever seen
and my first attempt at lace knitting using a leaf pattern out of the Vogue Stichionary and a badly behaved but beautiful glittery mohair blend (she's my diva).
