Knitting at Night

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!

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:39:33 -0500

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...

Milestone?

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...

On a roll...

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...

Needles a-flying

While I can't say that I've made much headway on this year's gifts, I certainly have been productive in the knitting sense. Four pieces of head wear (not all pictured), half a shrug and a sweater also half done just in the past couple of months--...

A brief diversion

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:51:12 -0500

A baby hat ... ... made from the same yarn as the ol' Calorimetry. Super soft! Knit in the round on size 8 DPNs, 2x2 rib. I cast on 64 stitches and knit rather loosely until it looked to be a good size for a little guy. I love this yarn -- it bo...

And speaking of the yarn arts...

I've had quite the productive couple of weeks. I crocheted a Katamari Damacy hat for a friend who's traveling to a comic books convention in a couple weeks. I studied online pix of other people's interpretations (mainly the Mad Tea Party version) ...

Catching up on FOs

I made Knitty's Twinkletoes for my sister for Christmas, and she loved them. My other sister (to whom I gave the bonnet) has requested a pair, too. Must get cracking so I finish them before her upcoming Spring b-day. The pictures are not so hot as...

My knitting of late...

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 18:27:39 -0600

Oh have I ever been slacking. I've been working my way through all the Sudoku puzzles in Brain Age on the DS, so I've really been just too, too busy. I started a sweater on New Year's (eve I think?) and I really should have finished it by now. I...

Scrambling for the Holidays

nobody@vox.com(Angelique) — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 11:15:44 -0600

I haven't really been knitting that long -- a couple of years -- and while my technique has improved immensely my grasp of reality is shaky as ever. Luckily, I think I'm not alone in this -- it appears that a lot of knitters get all pumped up in ...
