That was Quick!
The long awaited Ben scarf was all over in 3 days šÆ I really enjoyed the mindless long rows of knit and the regular gratification of finishing a stripe. I cast off with a 4.5mm needle (was knit on 4mm) and made sure it wasn’t too tight (I used a cable cast on BTW – […]

Finally sewed it up!
Do youĀ rememberĀ Liliana? This is the picture from the pattern book… From Lilianna I had finished knitting her and just had the neckband and sewing up to do last February when I was overwhelmed by my beautiful furry ginger boy, Thug dying.

Graciously Permitted to Knit a Scarf
I’ve said before how Ben doesn’t feel the cold. Ā He rarely wears a jumper and only wears gloves, and hats when it’s several degrees below freezing.

Resolutions and Finishing Off
I had forgotten that last new year, the Guilty Knitters and I had made knitting resolutions. And that Jane had written them down. (Damn her!) We had much hilarity, thanks to Jane’s careful note taking, rediscovering these knitterly resolution and admitting by how much we had each succeeded or failed. My resolution had been to […]
