To Prove That There Is Knitting Content

-
Finally finished the back of my St Enda sweater! If I counted all of the tinking and reknitting, this would have been the 75th back I've knit!  It looks a little wonky because it's unblocked, I'll wait until I have the back and sleeves done to block it....Estimated time of blocking=early spring 2015. Gosh I hope the Mayan Calendar is wrong!

If it's not wonky enough for you already, I've included an out of focus, not centered close up version for your enjoyment!
 Alice Starmore! I love you!

What are YOU knitting?

That's going to be soooo beautiful. I'm still plugging away at a pair of basic ribbed socks (not exciting at all).

St. Enda looks amazing! I'm knitting a off-white Citron shawl for my niece and it looks very nice so far. I love the pattern.

Love those cables! They look really great in silver.

I just finished the Anjeli shawlette and am now crocheting the Mist stole. Good stuff, Maynard. :)

It looks amazing so far, even unblocked! It's fun to try to follow the cables around and see where they lead! I'm still working on my Heilo mittens, and am planning on digging my kauni cardigan out of the wip pile...but am going to have to rip a few rows in order to get going on that one again...

I just got that aran knitting book and drool over several... wondering if and when I will ever get around to actually making one. So huge kudos to you! Even if it takes you a while, you're actually working on it!

Pretty much snowpocalypse around here too...

Gorgeous, gorgeous knitting. I'm working on a VERY plain vest. I have Alice Starmore's "Fishermen's Sweaters" and drool over the patterns, but think I'd die of heat stroke if I tried to wear one. Loving this perimenopause stuff . . . NOT!

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
