This morning I spent a very productive train ride knitting. Here’s where I was at the start of the commute:
Mitts For Me, in Malabrigo’s Merino Worsted, color: Pearl Ten (it is purpler than the picture)
And here’s where I was at the end:
Turns out I can’t measure my own hand. Even tho [...]
Today is not my actual one-year knitiversary. But it’s close enough. Yes, one year and one week ago I was in Seattle with my friend Carey and asked her how to knit, in exchange for teaching her how to make marble magnets. It took me a month or two to get the [...]
Here are the pics of me in the sweater, at approx 36″ (the cables make it a slightly dif width, tho I didn’t take a tape measure out)
