hmmm

I have to say, I really need to consolidate my Internet spots.

I'm not ready to make this space defunct just yet...but it may happen soon.

I did cast on for a shrug today (after swatching) so we'll see.

If I don't post again for another month, I'll come back, tell you where you can find a more general blog that will sometimes have knitting pictures, and stop feeling guilty about it all. :)

Tiara Knits

Oh, I forgot to add that I bought a 1" button maker and I'm having a BLAST with it. I set up a livejournal (tiarabuttons) to keep track of things, although not much is there right now... I am planning on making knitting-related and crochet-related buttons. :)

Tiara Knits

Whoa, I have been neglecting this blog. And my knitting.

I did get a lovely gift of the book Alterknits. It's really inspiring and I want to make the crepe paper crown.

But aside from half-heartedly poking around with a crochet hook or opening my yarn closet and looking, I haven't been knitting. Hopefully that will change soon.

Crochet

You may remember a few months ago I tried to teach myself to crochet. I still am really interested in the craft, and anything that can help me use my out of control yarn stash is a good thing. So I just ordered the new Stitch n Bitch Crochet book. Perhaps that will kick start my creativity again.

Knitting?

OK. So I haven't been knitting. At all. Still haven't frogged that shrug. But I just moved, and in the process I had to pack and then unpack my yarn (though not all of it - some is still in storage, but will be here soon). And I looked at it and thought, wow, I have some lovely stuff here. So I hope that I'll be starting SOMETHING in the near future. (Also I may have yarn for swap/sale in the near future, so if you're interested in that check back with me soon.)

Tiara Knits

I have nothing on the needles except a started shrug that I messed up and need to frog.

I do always slump in the summer.

Picture!



The colors are all off, at least on my monitor. If you see turquoise, it should be more of a forest green. But the detail of the cables shows up well in the picture... :)

Issues and problems and broken yarn and weeks later, I *finally* finished my Hurry Up Spring armwarmers! I just have to weave in the ends and fix a bit of problems. Unfortunately the Noro didn't behave and the first one's colors are much better than the second's, but they're DONE! Now I have to get something else started to keep going. Probably something very simple...

(Pictures soon.)
