a project, stash enlargement, and a new knitting group

Posted by – January 28, 2006

Well I finally found something to worthy of my time. I’m doing the ubiquitous branching out, in the purple alpaca/wool from nashua. its coming out fairly nicely, so far. Lace knitting though is NOT tv knitting or even SNB knitting. I’ve found this out the hard way. For every pattern repeat I end up tinking several rows. But I am learning a lot. Besides surely I get extra points for attempting lace so early in my knitting career. I should post a picture of it but I’m feeling lazy so perhaps next time or later today. I tried out a new knitting group this week at my local lys. It was me and a bunch of older ladies. What I wouldn’t give for just One person closer to my age who had something in common with me. We-ll technically there are a few. One is supposed to come to the group next week but she’s just learning to knit and one I haven’t’ met yet in person and another is Claire who is really busy. Actually in my knitting wet dreams I end up finding Skank again and she’s taken up knitting too. I did engorge my stash a bit but it was acceptable because I know what I’m making with this yarn. I got some brown sheep for felted bags (gifts) and one hank of some hand paint thats pretty close to what I used to make my MIL’s seafoam scarf. I can see I really do need to take pictures. Anyway its a glorious sunny day here so off I will go to attempt to make my scarf.
