Wishful Thinking Wednesday!

Since I can't share my WIPs today, here are a few projects I'm looking forward to starting the second my holiday knitting is complete:

Yoga Socks: I really need some yoga socks for the winter months, as my living room is a bit drafty! The late Judi Sumner's Obi socks have been in my queue since August 2010....perhaps it's time to finally make a pair!


 Entrelac Mittens: Since taking Gwen Bortner's Entrelac Craftsy Class, I've been wanting to make a pair of these entrelac mittens using some Malabrigo Finito and Lhasa Wilderness that have been lurking in my stash.


Chunky Cowl: I have the yarn to make the Arctic Circle Cowl, though I should probably finish the coordinating Svalbard Mittens I have on the needles first!


Stripey Hat: I've had the yarn in my stash for over a year, but somehow I haven't made Veera Valimaki's Here and There hat (which has been in my queue since February of this year) yet.

What will you be casting on when you've finished with holiday gift knitting or crocheting?

    I have serious startitis! One WIP going on so I had to cast on another. One is easy, one is not. All of your queued items look wonderful! Hope you are able to cast one of them on soon!

      Thanks, me too! I've been trying to resist my startitis tendencies....but I'm not sure how long that will last!

Australian Superfine Merino Yarn Review & Giveaway

After more than ten years of knitting, I can still have new experiences - even with well-covered territory such as merino yarn! This recent merino experience actually took me by surprise: I've spun with it, I've dyed it, I've knit with it, and I've even crocheted with it...I was pretty sure I knew all there was to know about merino! Turns out, there are four different classifications of merino fiber, sorted by micron count range . At the bottom of the spectrum is Strong Merino , which ranges from 26-22.9 microns; above that is Fine Merino , which ranges from 20.1-23 microns; next up is Extra Fine Merino, which ranges from 20-15.6 microns; and at the very top of the heap is Superfine Merino Wool , with a micron range of 18.5-15.6. If you're into numbers and wondering how these four classes stack up against other fibers you may be familiar with, here are a few for comparison's sake: BFL (Blue-Faced Leicester) has a micron range of 24-28, Cashmere goat down ...

App Review & Giveaway: Stash 2 Go

The developers for a paid Ravelry app for iPad and iPhone called Stash 2 Go contacted me earlier this year to see if I was interested in writing a review or their app on their blog. While I don't own an iPad or iPhone, I was able to gift a download to a knitting friend who had an iPad and was willing to let me play around with it for the purposes of this review! This is the first time I've ever accessed Ravelry via an app (on my Android phone, I typically use the m.ravelry.com site), and I found most of it to be easy to use. Some of the features weren’t intuitive to me at first, but once I got the hang of the idiosyncracies, it was smooth sailing. Stash 2 Go makes the most of API functions Ravelry has opened up to developers (there are still several areas which have yet to be completed in the Ravelry programming interface, so developers can only implement what is available through www.ravelry.com/api ). Most of the app's functionality allows the user to view the ...

A Finished Sweater, With Cat Hair

After losing Tilly and Robin within a year of each other, I sure didn't think I'd be finding cat hair in my knitting any time soon. But the universe had other ideas. Over the winter, a white feral cat adopted us. I'd noticed her when we moved into our apartment last summer - I would see her hiding in the bushes or sunning herself in the grass when she thought no one was looking. I assumed she was someone's cat until I realized how skittish she was around humans, plus she had a tipped ear, which is a universal sign that a feral/stray cat has been spayed. Neighbors confirmed that she was a feral kitty (descended from several generations of feral cats, in fact), and that she has survived on her wits and whatever food various residents put out for her.  We had some bitterly cold days over the winter, and I just felt so sorry for this poor kitty! I started offering her treats and slowly gained her trust. She didn't even want to come inside our apartment at first, much le...
