I also have to knit 1 and a half sleeve for that other sweater but I PH34R that I used the wrong needle (4,5 instead of 4) as it seems so big. Then again it's a baby sweater and they have to be roomy, right? (Excuses excuses.)
Anyone do entrelac?
Oh yes! Do you guys buy yarn without basing yourself on a pattern? HOw do you buy yarn?

I am FIVE ROWS from finishing the straight section of clapotis! The end is in sight. Am still undecided whether to give it as a present thus checking someone off the list or whether I will like it too much and I have to keep it! Suspect the final decision will be made once it's blocked out.
SOX: I am practicing SHORT ROW HEELS. They are so much better than the heel-flap method! Except I keep making them gappy. However, with a bit of utterly terrible mangling I can make them go almost perfect - I printed off a guide to a double-wrap method of short-rowing heels/toes which I am going to try at the weekend.
Making socks on 4mm dpns with dk yarn is AWESOME. Stuff you 2mm needles and sock yarn! It is even better if the yarn is shocking pink :)
Also - secret christmas knitting. There is lots of it. LOTS. Argh! I am going to have to take days off to get it all done which I WILL spend knitting and not just watch episode of House and LOOK at the knitting...

I want to try it, I like the look.
I'll often buy yarn with the thoughts of making something. and then it sits. this is how you build a stash.

HURRAH! Finished! The class was helladifficult. The lady next to me was CRYING. Poor thing. We had to do an elastic finish which baffled even the pros amongst us. :-) I didn't really understand until the second time she explained. But next week she's gonna teach us individually.
Next up? A DRESS. PAAAARTY. Yay.
I'm very excited because I LOVE to seam! I started in class and, I gotta tell ya, I'm not that bad at it. (NOt as horrible as with other stuff.) :-) Not saying that I know how to do it properly, but I sorta like doing it. :-)
Gonna try the sweater on tomorrow. Let's hope it fits! I made it with yarn that I also used for a scarf for my mom (who lives in Japan). I figured I would make something that connects them. :-)

(and sweater looks lovely. what kind of yarn?)
― Ms Misery (MsMisery), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link
The yarn is Katia's Mexico.
I just started the party dress. I made one tiny mistake AT THE SIDE which I can (hopefully!) cover up with my seaming techniques. Heh. Techniques. My husband is impressed with my knitting speed: I did about 12 cm in about 2 hrs. Or something. I hardly think that's fast, but hey... :-)
I'm also now officially addicted to knitting and SEX (teehee). I can't leave a shop without having bought some yarn. Yup yup. Swapped records for skeins. Ah well. :-)
A friend just said I was a good mother for giving Ophelia such lovely clothes. Aaaah.
― nathalie (stevienixed), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link
i haven't bought any yarn except online in awhile.

BTW Wish I was at that get together!
OTN: Matinee Cardigan (still! But not for long!), two scarves and a party dress. The latter was patterned by my teacher but I ph34R that she made a mistake as her head will AGAIN not fit through it. But I don't worry too much aout it as I have only done one panel so I Can either do an opening on the back or a sleeve. I think I'll go with a sleeve. :-)

Nath, that pic is from the Urban Outfitters site, and my friend (and fellow knitter) sent it to me asking. I don't know if I can get a bigger picture! When the holidays pass, I may try to sort it out myself.

Apparently, it's the popcorn stitch. Well, the scarf is called popcorn, so, the modern internets led me to this site:

AKA: Trinity Stitch.
Fun! I may try this when my mom's ripple stitch scarf is done.
