Vildish Knits: November 2009
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
November 27, 2009. It has been mighty quiet around here, hasn't it? Well, believe it or not I do have an explanation. I haven't been making much progress on my knitting WIPs, but there has been major growth with one very important project:. That's right - we're expecting a baby! We're super, super thrilled and excited and nervous and everything else that goes along with this, but mostly excited and full of hope and wonder. And thanks for your patience in the meantime!

Vildish Knits: Rhinebeck 2009!
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009/10/rhinebeck-2009.html
October 20, 2009. Yes, we made the trek north again for the New York Sheep and Wool Festival. And what a year it was! It was such a good time that I hardly took any pictures, but I have plenty of haul shots to share, not to worry. It's always a big treat to get to wander among the sheep who grow all the wool for us. Thank you, sheepies! This photo doesn't begin to capture the enormity of this Rambouillet ram. He's HUGE! The Ravelry meetups are also a blast. Thanks for this photo, E. I decided that I was ...

Vildish Knits: June 2009
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
June 30, 2009. Where have I been? Just got back from the trip, more photos to come soonish, but I'm leaving on another trip tomorrow morning, so it may be a few days. I did knit away busily during the travels. The first primavera sock is almost a full sock, and I've gotten started on a new project:. Now I need to pack for tomorrow's trip! June 12, 2009. This is clearly a long term project! Look at this sheen! Milo finds it all a bit dull. June 9, 2009. Eyeing the frog pond. I think this'll look pretty go...

Vildish Knits: May 2009
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
May 28, 2009. Alright, so I lost my mojo there. Knitting, ripping, knitting, and ripping again for the diminishing rib was, frankly, demoralizing. I've been scowling at my pile of angora cakes trying to figure out what to do with them to redeem the purchase, trying to force them into some kind of shrug-like project. And as soon as I made this decision, my next project jumped onto the needles. Hurray for the return of knitting mojo! May 11, 2009. Here are my problems with how it turned out. 1 It's still t...

Vildish Knits: Silk step two
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009/09/silk-step-two.html
September 15, 2009. Plying this silk was so satisfying, and while it was hard to see all my mistakes as I learned to deal with this new fiber (especially in the first batch of singles) overall I'm pleased with the yarn. All 410 yards of it. It's between 15 and 19 wraps per inch and So! Today: step three. Dyeing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Perennial procrastinator and sloppy knitter. View my complete profile. Fiber blogs I read. Grumperina goes to local yarn shops and Home Depot.

Vildish Knits: Tonight: auction for Haiti!
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2010/01/tonight-auction-for-haiti.html
January 23, 2010. Tonight: auction for Haiti! I know I've been missing for a long time and I *will* be back eventually, but until then I just have a brief announcement. Tonight some friends of mine are putting on a benefit auction and performance for the people of Haiti. I spun some yarn for the silent auction:. If you're in Charlottesville, like The Vildish Twist yarn, and want to help with a good cause, please come down and bid! I'll also be performing on my hardangerfiddle just around 5pm). World surf...

Vildish Knits: September 2009
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
September 17, 2009. FO: Striped baby cardigan. It turns out that I still knit, too! Yarn: Anny Blatt Baby Blatt. Needle: US2 addi circs. Mods: I added a color to the pattern so the stripes were alternating blue and purple. Since this caused ther eto be lots of floats across the edges I did a single crocheted edge. This really is a clever pattern. I love the way that short rows are used to create the narrowing stripes, which also then creates the cardigan shaping. Out the door it goes! September 16, 2009.

Vildish Knits: October 2009
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
October 22, 2009. You'll notice that there's no flyer/bobbin unit on the wheel. Well, as it turns out this is a quill wheel! Dave made an adorable tiny flyer bobbin that fits on the wheel, but I'm hoping I can learn to spin on the quill. You know how I love a new challenge. After a good cleaning, the old painting shows through beautifully. Thanks to my Mom for letting me fix it up, and thanks to Dave at The Merlin Tree for doing such a fantastic job on the restoration! October 20, 2009. It's always a big...

Vildish Knits: March 2009
http://vildishknits.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
March 14, 2009. Sorry to be missing for so long - things are crazy busy right now and will be that way for a bit. You aren't missing out on any crafting since basically none is going on! Exams have taken over, as they probably should. . The trip to Shanghai was great - it was wonderful to see my husband and there was some seriously good food. Miss that. Here are a couple of photos to tide you over:. The city is full of these old/new contrasts. Back to work for me! March 1, 2009. I managed to squeeze in a...
