Todo Mundo con la Lengua Fuera

I've been watching a little too much Mun2 tv.... (channel 603, you know you want to).

Non sequitor:







Aaaaand I'm spent.

Dedication (?)

A friend commented the other day that I was so dedicated to the craft, after browsing my blog. I kinda laugh-snorted because I think its been a few weeks since I've made anything up here, and I was even contemplating giving it up, as I am not horribly dedicated to it.

In any case, here are some photos.












Feel free to fill in your own captions.

Some things

I have already succeeded in my quest to knit 11 objects in 2011. Since it went so quickly, I think I will go for 22! Sorry for the long pause, there was studying, then a test, and then a bunch of other excuses! I'll try to make up for it with lots of photos. I seem to be in a green phase lately.



Ready for a button band



That soccer thing



New pattern I wrote almost ready for publication. This had is the small version.



Spinning with dirty fingers.



The result was poorly carded and over-plied so I gave it to Lisa.

Today I'm off work, so I plan to do all the things. And buy buttons.

Another FO

(My eighth of the year, wahoo!)



Also



Should be a wee bit longer, but I love it anyway. Berocco Ultra Alpaca fine on 2's! It was a bit slow for a hat but worth it.

Feel Like Makin Gloves

Glove, glove me do


You know I glove you,



I'll always be true,


So please . . . glove me do! (It happened again, I made new handwear and I'm head over heels) Don't mind me, I'll just be over here, having warm fingers.

Before and after

Before:


After:


Ingredients: one unraveled 100% cashmere sweater, a large pot (lager than I used...there was some splashing), one bottle of green food coloring, and a generous splash of vinegar. I am so happy with my dyeing experiment!

The sweater is ready to be blocked, I started a hat in sock weight, and the Alice Starmore gloves got picked up again. Hello, productivity! let's hope my recent mysterious shoulder injury doesn't hamper progress!

Insert title here

A swatch! (I even washed it!)



I figured out my new sewing machine, and am actually applying it to a knitting project which I can't show you yet. Its working though, I was afraid things would all go splodey on me.



New convertible cowl out of the last of the angora/wool. This is incredibly snuggly and the buttons are perfect for it! I spent more on buttons that I did on the whole sweater to make this and the other projects. But they are perfect!
