About Me:

Well I am going on a new adventure.........felting. When I found out merchants will be charging .29 cents per plastic bag at checkout. I decided to knit and felt my own grocery bags. So far so good. This has been a very fun adventure!!! If you would like to know more about the process you can

At 12:02pm on January 28, 2009, ncginger said…: Well, the thing about my husband is that, if he knitted, he would be a "project" knitter. He used to cross-stitch and would do big designs. We've got a scene from Cinderella framed that is about 18x12 completely stitched... no white space. He completed it in about 11 months. Have mercy...

He can't understand why I completely prefer to pick the pattern and the yarn and start the project, then get bored and put it down halfway through. I was exactly the same when I did cross-stitch too. Start them but seldom finish.

Project vs. process... That's the story of my life. :-)

We are in the middle of a huge ice/snow storm, and I had to take my husband to the doctor this a.m. As soon as I recouperate from all that, I'm back to my knitting.

At 11:28am on January 28, 2009, Susan the Blue Lake Knitter said…: I know it sounds stupid to everyone else, but three needle bind off, though easier, is so bulky... and this was to be on the outside. Kitchener is harder until you get pretty good at it -- which I think I am because I don't have to read the instructions every time -- and it is nearly invisible, which works good for right side BO. Love cotton yarns for dish clothes, and these placemats are turning out really good, too. One of our local name brand craft chains had the Sugar n Cream for $1 a ball. Too good to pass up.

At 12:20pm on January 27, 2009, Susan the Blue Lake Knitter said…: I'm trying to finish up my entrelac vest right now. I got the shoulders connected using the Kitchener stitch instead of a three needle bind off and am working on the front ribbing. I ran into a small problem, and am fixing that now. I'll post a pic when I get this portion finished.

I'm also working on place mats using 100% cotton yarn using the log cabin blanket method - first time I've used it. I'd say I'm just a few hours away of getting to a stopping point on both.

Will probably post pics tomorrow.

Thanks for asking.

At 9:43am on January 27, 2009, ncginger said…: Hi. Yeah, I haven't been on in a while. My socks are not that much further than before due to the fact that I developed "start-itis" and began two new projects. That's what I get for trying to organize the stash. I find yarn that I'd forgotten about and have to start something "right now". :-)

Hope you're well!

At 9:26am on January 23, 2009, ncginger said…: I was blessed with two boys. They're a handful but so very sweet. :-)

What are you working on now? I always have a couple of projects going at once in case I get bored. Strangely enough all my current projects at the moment are socks.

At 9:42pm on January 22, 2009, Hyunsun Park said…: thank you for quick comment! you are so sweet~ .
