GAAA Wordless Wednesday: Judy Sumner Square

There is a small bug left to add to the top right hand corner, but I’m still in two minds about whether to do it.  For more information, visit my Great American Aran Afghan Squidoo Page.

Thinking ahead

Not that I’m ready to cast off just yet (although that mini deadline is certainly approaching!) but I have been thinking about how I’m going to do it.  You see the main part of the thing is stockinette, so likely to curl without a little weight to the bottom, so I’m thinking possibly an applied i-cord cast-off.  However, part of the last row will be vertical ribbing, so needs to retain that stretchy look, which i-cord is definitely not.  Should i just gather some of the purl stitches as I’m casting off, or do something different?  At least I’ve still got a bit of time to think about it!

My Week

Monday: Cone of black yarn arrives, promised by mother-in-law, gets buried in van-full of bedroom and living room furniture, bed and half a tonne of curtains and bed linen.  I do love when my family have a sort out!

Anastasia Socks

I told you in a previous post about knitting some Anastasia socks and I’ve finally gotten around to photographing them:

GAAA Wordless Wednesday: Hannah Burns Square

There is so much going on in this square that it’s difficult to keep track of all the charts – you will definitely have a lot of stitch markers!  For more information, visit my Great American Aran Afghan Squidoo Page

Super Secret Projects

So the nights are drawing in (already) and I’m dog walking in wellies again.  Out comes the autumn knitting that I started in may and gave up on (I think it may have been the grafting).  I made it official by frogging and winding it all up into balls, and after chasing the dogs down the garden and fighting to get it back – winding it all up into balls again.  Note to self – ignore that moment of madness that says grafting cables will be easy!

I’m planning something much simpler, with some ribbing and a nice collar.  If it turns out well, I may even publish the pattern…

Long Time No Post

So, almost two years between posts…  At least there is a lot I can tell you about!  In a nutshell, there are a lot of finished projects, started projects and hibernating ones.
