It must be in the water!

I'm working on baby outfits. More than one of them. Plus I'm also re-finishing a sweater for a friend who didn't like how it'd been put together before. Of course, a couple of threads were cut in the process. It's almost to be expected because it's hard to tell where the sweater is and where the finishing thread is--they're the same type of yarn. So I have to fix that, too. No biggie--at least I hope not.

I do want to get back to the Faery Ring, but I don't know when that'll happen. I know I have all the time I need; but I don't like it when I take indefinite breaks.

And still, my yarn stash continues to grow. I actually thought of calling the Junk people that were advertised in the paper yesterday to help me de-clutter the place. I have no idea how to do the yarn room. I have 2 very young (4 month old) kittens who are very anxious to help me out with any activity.

My life is somewhat chaotic right now. So knitting of any kind helps.

Hope it does yours too.

Happy knitting!

Faery Ring

I went with Black Water Abbey Purple Gentian for my Faery Ring. I'm still working on the bottom ring, and taking my time about it. I went to the class a couple of weeks ago that Janet Szabo offered about the cables, which was fabulous. She suggested using glove needles as cable needles. I took that suggestion and ordered a set from Skacel, size 2's. They are working wonderfully.

After a little study, I finally figured out the pattern. At first blush (that's what we lawyers say!), it looks like there are two conflicting ways Mary has written her knits and purls. But if you really study the pattern, it's not, because the difference is only in the cables. I, personally, (and this is only my opinion, so take it for what that is worth), think it would have been a little less confusing to have made the knits all blank boxes, and the purls with dots, (or something similar).

Welcome

Welcome!

What's on my needles now? Whew! Which ones, I ask? I have so many things in progress that I have no idea what they are. That is one reason for this blog--to help keep track.

The Faery Ring KAL is just the first of what I hope will be many projects you will see here and hopefully will be as interested in as I am to watch them "grow" into what they will eventually become.

I welcome your comments. Enjoy!
