it's been well established that i'm a horrible knit blogger. i'll do the knitting, i'll take the photographs... but i'd rather be doing either of those than blogging about it. probably because i don't feel like i have an audience to write to (catch-22. or something)
so since i started this knit blog, i knit my first pair of socks in an 18-hour marathon session, including weaving in ends and blocking. i wanted them done in time for mother's day, and i'd frogged an entire sock in a fit the night before. the yarn (elann sock-it-to-me) had no stretch, and the fit (especially in the heel) was horrible. i went back and knit the entire sock in a 2x2 rib (i should probably have listened to ez in the first place) and added some shaping for the heel.
i also have the horrible habit of presenting gift knits without photographs. such is the case with my second-ever pair of socks in knitpicks felt-when-knitting (memories, i think? the merino fingering weight stuff that's been discontinued) (mother), the crystal palace kid merino peacock feathers shawl (MIL), and a berroco pure merino cabled brioche scarf (coworker). i'm hoping to get pictures of the latter two (the first may be too felted and fuzzy to share at this point), but they may be lost to non-blogland forever.
i knit my first sweater, and i designed it myself. i'll probably knit it again to work out the kinks in the pattern, but i'm happy enough with the original to wear it.
oh, and i knit my wedding shawl. it actually turned out to be a huge lifesaver, but now i don't know what to do with the thing. i'll try to get proper photos of it (i live in an east-facing apartment surrounded by trees) soon.
that's it for now. hopefully having this post up will make me want to put some *actual* posts up.
