Deleting this thing or updating some more. That is the question. Leaning towards the latter. We will see[ READ MORE ]
Far from an original project, but nice nonetheless (ignore the pizza cutter, there are limited flat, well-lit surfaces here). There’s really not much to say; “pattern” by Jared Flood, 39 stitches wide, a little bit longer than I am (probably around 170cm, can’t be bothered to find the measure tape now). Yarn is Noro Kureyon, [ READ MORE ]
Finally finished mitten #2 of the Love Bytes mittens! I somehow managed to make them a liiittle bit too small this time, but I can get them on and once they’re on, they fit pretty nicely, so it’ll have to do. And one of them is a tiny bit shorter than the other one, but [ READ MORE ]
I still don’t really understand the point of wrist warmers, but I couldn’t really find another project for this yarn, and I only had two skeins. These used up almost one. I figured I could always gift them since I don’t get the point, but when I was almost done with the second one, I [ READ MORE ]
…I think. The mitten went from being way too big to almost too tight, but they fit pretty perfectly now. Or, well, the one I’ve knit does. I hope the second one ends up being the same size, which is definitely not a given when I knit mittens :p I knit them on a 2.25mm [ READ MORE ]
I swatched, in the round even. Got gauge. Knitted. Didn’t get gauge. The pink line is my wrist, mittens are way too long and wide everywhere but the finger-area (the photo makes it look much better than it is). I then re-swatched with smaller needles. Got gauge. Started knitting again, while trying to keep an [ READ MORE ]
Still really like this pattern, as it’s simple, but more fun than 2×2 rib. I really don’t like 2×2 rib for more than a couple of rounds at the time. Casting on 44 stitches instead of 48 proved to be smart, as these fit better, and I also lengthened the heel a bit. I didn’t [ READ MORE ]
I actually knitted this in November 2008, in the exact same yarn, and used it almost exclusively last winter. However, it grew from baggy to falling-off-my-head-if-I-made-sudden-movements-baggy, so I ended up never using it, even though it was quite warm and I liked the color and look very much. Figuring that was a bit of a [ READ MORE ]
I’d read tons of good things about this pattern, so I figured I should try it, and I’ve got to say, I understand the praise. Enough going on for it to not get really, really boring, but simple enough that you don’t really need the pattern in front of you after knitting one sock. So, [ READ MORE ]
This is my second pair of these socks, this time knitted on slightly smaller needles than the last time. They now fit pretty perfectly around the leg and ankle, but the foot is still too long for them to fit inside shoes and stuff. Ah well, I’ll just use them indoors, I guess. Gave the [ READ MORE ]
