Yesterday, June 14th, was World Wide Knit in Public Day, and I drove about an hour away to Charlottetown to meet 4 other members of Ravelry:

I’ve finished a couple of small things since my last post. One is a pair of gloves, the pattern is a mod of Urban Necessity from Magknits. They’re supposed to be a flip-top mitten, so that you can have fingerless gloves for when you need your fingers, and mittens for when you don’t, all in [...]

I am thisclose to being finished with Alice. I just have the cap on the sleeve to finish knitting, sew the seam on the sleeve, sew the cap to the sweater, then wash/dry. For the past few days I’ve been trying to do at least a couple of inches a day on the sleeve, adding [...]

Since I’m moving on the 26th, I’m making an effort to have most of my projects off the needles before the move. I still have the Alice sweater and thought I had the sleeve done, but there are lots of ladders on it from using DPNs. Blocking and washing didn’t get them out, so I’m [...]

I knit my second and probably final Sheldon pattern, for my mother. It’s not that I dislike the pattern, but I don’t like making the same thing many times. Anyway, no real modifications this time except for using crochet instead of the i-cord bind off, and I used most of the rest of the Vanna’s [...]

It was either Monday or Tuesday that I got it in my head to start looking around for yarn to make Alice. I went to Micheal’s first and looked at the yarn, mostly the Lion Brand Cotton-Ease. At first I wanted to make it red and black like the pattern, but Cotton-Ease has charcoal, not [...]

I found out a week or so ago that my sister-in-law is pregnant, due in March. I had decided that I would make a baby blanket if either of my sisters, or in-laws, had a baby, so I’m trying to decide what I want to do. I’ve thought about the star baby blanket, and the [...]

I frogged the raglan. Yes, again.
This is the yarn that first was going to be Under the Hoodie (it came out too boxy and big, and I didn’t like the hood or pocket), then a modified Kyoto (it was going well until I discovered that I did something wrong with the top part, and there [...]

I’ve been having fun making swatches, but I’m taking a short break from that. I picked up the raglan again the other day, the one that I haven’t been picking up because there were so many stitches on the needles. The sleeves were still on, as I hadn’t knit quite enough to move them onto [...]

I’m still progressing on the raglan, slowly. It’s joined into a circle and looking alright so far, I don’t think it’s going to be a two-week wonder like the last one (and that was short-sleeved, anyway).
I have some Red Heart Symphony that I noticed again in my stash and had the urge to take out [...]
