Knit One, Purl Too: A Knitlog

What on earth could you learn from dragging out the process of knitting a sweater over the better part of three years?

Better late than never, item two: I ran across Kelly’s list of knitting resolutions for 2006; since I already had something like this in mind, I thought I’d write some things down so I can look back in 360-odd days and see what really happened.

I was back to enjoying the stocking once more last week, preparing to post away about the joys of knitting for the holiday, when my grandmother died.

When your husband says “It will take five hours to get there”, confirm that this is five hours from where you are, not five hours from the Maine border, two hours behind you.

Friday is going to be ten kinds of fun.

Knitting before breakfast - I’ve crossed some kind of line.

First things first: the first Ribtips sock is done almost done.

So, of course. what did I do? After organizing my knitting basket, I started something else.

So yeah, I like it. Who knew? But I’m resisting…it’s back to the Lopi for me.

It’s lacy, but not fussy, and I love the pop of color - orange is the new black after all.
