252 stitches :: Jan 10

thought I might be reaching full floor size so I slipped it partially onto a 2nd long needle, to find I have a ways to go yet. Seeing this big space of just stripes makes me want to try some variation on the walls. fun to come : )


igloo flooring :: Jan 8, 2005

ok, Max, here I go. Today was to be official igloo starting day but I got a pretty good headstart on the floor yesterday. My guess is sometime today it will be wide enough, am aiming for something between Shadow curled up and the size of the garage shelf where igloo is intended to live. I am creating .pdf file of pattern as I go for my own pattern writing practice. If you are interested in knitting along with Shadow and me, I'll keep the pattern posted to the level I've accomplished. I would like to hear from you if you do try.

slipper presents were a happy success. I feel glad to be on to new things in the new year.


slippery slope :: Jan 5, 2005


looking at these makes me want to believe they were fun to do and I cannot really figure out why they were not. Whatever it was I don't want to discuss. Tomorrow is the day we will be having our belated Christmas gathering with the young ones, so maybe I will come home with happy pictures of slippered feet.

Hailey's were first and followed along in my stranded frenzy.

Robin's were meant to be like
Benjamin's bee socks.

Nick's were meant to look like dancing shoes. use much imagination...

and Meadow's an elf... ah ho!


I've been feeling more excited about playing with the freeway software than about knitting, so I am thinking about making a website for every project, not to mention letting every journal page be new.

Got a vague start on
Shadow's igloo pages (just pretty photo and colors, no words yet) and wound some yarn for the real project. I like naturgarn very much, to my hands it is much softer than lopi.This time last year Max and Karen and I knit astrid sweaters together. That was another fine time of 2004. Max is thinking of knitting cat bed while I knit igloo, I wish there was some real knitting with others time in my life...another resolution?
