So much fiber, so little time: Why, yes, I am still alive

Why, yes, I am still alive

Things have been a little crazy around here. I'm working three part-time jobs and spending another large chunk of time on some volunteer work. Hence the blog silence.

Some fiberish things continue. I set out to finish the silk shawl that I put on hold over the summer, but once I worked the edging all the way around the first side and then some, I realized I would run out of yarn. So I redesigned the edging to be narrower, but was and am too disheartened to frog it. (There's a lifeline in place, but still ...) In the meantime, I've knitted another item to submit to the next One Skein Wonder book. All it needs is blocking and a few more words added to the pattern.

Yeah, this work thing really does cut into fiber and blog time, doesn't it? Glad to see you're still alive!

Thank goodness! I was starting to get worried. Glad it's just busy-ness. Take care.

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
