Fun with yarn (or not)

Alright, I'm going to finish Tubey. Again.


Last night I unravelled the bodice.


Today, since I don't have class anymore, I soaked the yarn, untangled it (I am so sick of knots), and stretched it out to dry.


Tomorrow I'll probably start on the bodice for the 3.5th time. This had so better work this time.

Edgy Urban Knitting

Last week my dear sister (pictured above) came up to Toronto to visit me while she was on spring break (and I crammed for a giant exam). There was lots of coffee drinking, knitting, and watching Jane Austen adaptations.

There was also much knitting of Baudelaire, which is (are?) now finished. They would have been finished last night if I'd paid attention when I started knitting the gusset. But I didn't, the toe-up socks were too long, so I found myself cutting off the toe at one o'clock in the morning last night. Yes, cutting off the toe.



Luckily it went very well, and the sock looks much more like its partner than before--shallower toe, sloppy close and all : ) The doctored sock is on the left.



I already have projects lined up through summer and autumn. First off is to do something with giant needles, as five of my last six projects have been on size 3 or smaller needles. Woohoo, gauge swatches!


What gorgeous lace!
