I Surrender

Ok, I give up!  There are not enough hours left in my little life to knit all the projects that keep popping up!  For example, have a look at these new beauties: http://twistcollective.com/2009/winter/magazinepage_01.php

Twist Collective did a fantastic job with their pattern selection in this new issue.  If only I had the time…

Entrelac Anyone?

Everyone has their own tastes when it comes to knitting.  Some love socks, others prefer lace only, etc.  I like a wide range of techniques and yarn weights.  There is at least one technique that does not appeal to me at all, Entrelac.  However, when I found this shawl over at Knit Yoga, I realized that there was, yet again, a reason never to say never.  

This may be the only entrelac pattern I would ever consider trying.  It is actually very pretty and I can just see it done in fall oranges and browns!  Here is the Ravelry link to the free pattern if any of you are interested.

Till next time…

Where Have You Been // I’ve Missed You

Oh my, when I decided to go to graduate school in February of 2009, I knew it would consume my time.  I also knew that I would have to choose between blogging and other things I enjoyed doing.  For the past year knitting and fibery fun won out.  I did not realize is that I would actually miss blogging as much as I have.  I am still in school, a little more than halfway done, and I have a part-time online job now as well.  We moved to Virginia and back to Auburn.  Blazer passed away and Ebby became queen of the house.  There are just so many things I should have blogged about this past year and did not.  So, here I am, blogging again.

I have begun a new, sewing related, fiber obsession.  I can’t disclose the details yet as I am making the first one for a very good friend in Ohio.  But, it is almost finished and then I will have a big reveal post.  Perhaps I will incorporate a prize or two…

In other news, I have been knitting socks like crazy and am halfway finished with my year long Sock Knitter’s Anonymous challenge of one pair per month.  Hand knitted socks are so much more comfortable to wear than store bought!  For my Ravelympics entry I decided to try to finish my Frost Flowers and Leaves Shawl.

Taking a quick look at the days left in the Olympics and the amount I still have to knit on this thing, I will not finish in time.  However, I do think I will have it to a point where it will be better to finish it than not.

So nice to be back, see you soon…Deborah
