Knitting
LRRR GRRL
Queue notes: See favorited by jknitma of stockinette zombies podcast, a little less negative ease looks great on her! Plus doing it in the round with just placket is nicer. Love it! 6/13: cast-on before knitting IN. 6/16: WWKIP in random places on errands. 6/20: bus/MAX knitting to PDX 6/21-22: car knitting to and from…
Baby K animal hoodie
Bittersweet, reindeer, camel heathers, maybe marshmallow (combing yarn totals in with baby blanket as I didn’t weigh in between the two!)
Chloe washclothes
Using some of the leftover yarn from the Stripey Steeky Blanket. Knit during baby shower and while Lisa was in labor to send my positive energy towards her. Plus, while waiting to meet her for the first time. They turned out kinda manta-ray-ish as I wasn’t paying full attention to the increases and decreases. Delivered…
Beach Bday Socks
Started for knitting on my Bday extravaganza, which took us to the beach this year. They look like birthday cupcake colors! Knit during the drive AND on the beach with my toes in the sand. Did my standard toe, Judy’s magic cast on with 12 stitches; 2 at a time on 2 circs on my…
baby K sweater
using Knit Picks Simply Cotton in the same colors from the blanket, adding a little green tea heather from the stripey steeky blanket for baby C, also due this summer.

Echo-tide
knitting along with the Knit Knit Cafe podcast KAL. Yarn was purchased at OFFF 2011, and it’s got some silk content like the original pattern. The colorway is Echo, ala Dollhouse. With silver, ooh Shiny! This skein is just a little short for the larger shawl so I did the smaller version. Did one extra…
Purple Snow
the cast on is tricky. I kept trying to rotate the work (ala a sock toe) instead of turn. envision making rainbow shaped arcs with the 5-stitch on each end as the tips of the rainbow. Worked on this for one evening, then knitting in, and then I decided I wanted to wear it the…
Chloephant
put the eyes and smile on to finally finish!
