The Thursday Three

Here's a quick snapshot of my 3 WIPs before I head down to Kansas City for the weekend:

Abalone Cardigan: I'm closing in on this - not that you can tell by the photo! You'll just have to take my word for it: once I finish the sleeves, I just need to add a ribby border to the entire sweater. Hoping to be done sometime next week, though I suppose a more realistic time frame is the end of this month.

Wedge Socks: These are pretty fast-knitting and addictive, but I haven't been working on them as much because I've been concentrating my nightly knitting efforts on sweater-finishing. I'm guessing I'll have sock #1 finished somwhere en route to Kansas City with any luck. Fun fact: these are my first socks knit with Knitter's Pride Cubics needles!

Sideways Triangle Scarf: I just wanted something easy to work on, and after cruising crochet patterns on Ravelry, I decided to strike out on my own and just do a simple little triangle scarf in double crochet. The yarn is some super-soft MCN (is there any other kind?) that was dyed by a friend, and I'm basically going to keep going til I'm about halfway through the skein, then start decreasing to finish off the triangle. Not rocket science, but it will be great to wrap up in this scarf during the blustery days of March.

I'm really looking forward to 7 hours of uninterrupted crafting time each way on the train. I'll be taking all three of the above projects, plus something new* to start if I finish something above (or feel like cheating already on this three-at-a-time business). This is the first time I'm traveling without Tyler, so the only thing I have to worry about it having an annoying seat mate for the entire trip. Wish me luck!

*It's Malabrigo March! Of course I have to start something for that! I ended up talking myself into purchasing yarn and this exclusive cowl pattern from Doodlebug yarns.

Overdyeing A Finished Knit

Even after just a few years of knitting or crocheting, you're bound to have some finished projects lying around that never get worn or used. After 10+ years of crafting, I have more than just "some" or "a few"....and with my ongoing quest to declutter my house this year, I've become obsessed with going through these forlorn projects and making some Big Decisions. Sometimes, they are perfectly fine and just need a new and loving home. Other projects may have not turned out quite right: there might have been some mistakes in the knitting that I thought I could live with, or the yarn was gorgeous but not well-matched to the pattern, or my taste has drastically changed since I finished making the project...in any case, why on earth did I keep knitting?! Who knows, but I don't feel good about gifting anything that falls into this category to someone else. These projects have been relegated to the "frog pile" (or should I say, frog pond?), to b

Easy DIY: Beaded Vintage Snowflake Ornament Kits from Solid Oak Inc.

I was really excited to step outside of my comfort zone and try something new as part of my "Christmas in July" theme this month. The kind folks at Solid Oak Inc offered me a chance to review one of their Nostalgic Christmas beaded crystal ornament kits I couldn't resist. My tree is already full of ornaments I've inherited or been gifted from other family members and friends, so these pretty crystal beaded ornaments will fit right in I think! I was super impressed with this compact little kit , which includes everything needed to create three gorgeous vintage-style ornaments - just add a pair of round nose pliers (I found mine on Amazon for less than ten bucks). The instructions had some fabulous tips for newbies like me; for example, it recommended sorting the beads and laying them out in order on a towel or beading mat to prevent them from rolling away. That may seem obvious, but I was totally ready to start beading on my kitchen table without a

What If I Didn't Add Heels?

Last weekend, I finished the first sock with my Waterlilies yarn , and just for yuks, I tried it on even though it was basically just a tube sock. Much to my surprise, it fit really well, even without a heel. Who knew? So, that got me thinking: what if I just didn't add the heels? I never thought a tube sock would actually fit nicely, but I genuinely like the fit, so...why spend time to add the heels? As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.... Let's say I decide not to add heels once the second sock is done - there will still be placeholder yarn for the afterthought heels, as you can see above, so should I leave it in and just weave in the ends? Or should I remove it, put the live stitches back on needles and at least graft them together using more of the Waterlilies yarn? I plan on mulling all of this over as I knit the second sock, and I'd love to hear your opinions of what you think would look best (or if you think this whole "n
