iPod cozy

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 22:40:42 -0500

What the world needs now ... is another ipod cozy :) My old ipod mini still runs, but I couldn't pass up a sweet deal on a refurbed nano. It's only an upgrade for me in the sense that I've got a color screen & the nano is TINY compared to the min...

Disentangled Yoke!

I completed my version of the Tangled Yoke cardigan on my birthday weekend. In a genius stroke of rationalization, I decided I wasn't much of a cables girl anyway (wink, wink). So I opted for a simple lace panel--Eyelet V's. For anyone intereste...

Dragging on and on, this sweater...

After much focused, earnest effort at knitting the cable section of the Tangled Yoke cardigan I took a hard look at what a mess the whole thing was becoming, then took a hard right & high-tailed it out of Dodge. Those cables can suck it, seriously...

Thoughts on circular needles

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:44:44 -0500

I love Knit Picks. Love 'em. However, having just finished my Tangled Yoke Cardigan sleeves on two Options interchangeable circulars I notice that the cords got rather bent up. One of my least favorite features of the average circular needle is ...

Endless orange

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:52:17 -0600

Quite negligent on the updates, but that's me. I am almost to the yoke of the Tangled Yoke cardigan. The sleeves have been dragging on forever especially after having taken a little baby blanket break: The sleeves I am doing on two circulars, and...

Milestone?

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:09:43 -0600

I finished my first pair of socks, and so now I'm pretty much assured of success in all my knitting adventures. I wish I had the recipient's feet to model these. They'd look silly on me... I think I may be confused about what constitutes a magic...

I'm Mohair

I used to fall under the spell of silly quizzes routinely whilst a regular on LiveJournal. Lately I've shown enormous restrain, until this one spoke to me. You have to tally the results yourself, but it's only 5 knitting related questions. I'm Mo...

On a roll...

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:47:39 -0600

But still no sweater in sight. It was a fruitful vacation, though in truth I took very little time off from work. I just spent the holidays sequestered with DVDs and various knitting projects, chief among them a pair of socks on a magic loop. Oh h...
