Funniest thing happened to me on my way to the blog: I tripped over a three month period of less than prolific knitting.
Really aggravating, let me tell you.
Still: Joining the Harry Potter Knit and Crochet House Cup on Ravelry helped assure that I actually did something during that time frame.
I'm still working -- grudgingly! -- on the Big Cross Top: I'm about a third to not quite halfway through, which feels really discouraging when I stop to think about it. Next time I make this, I'm figuring out how to work it lengthwise so I don't get so very, very bored and crotchety about it.
On the other hand, I've been making knitted kitties like mad: Two apology kitties will be going out to my first Knitted Kitty Swap partner, since hers was eaten by the post office, and as soon as I finish the two more that a co-worker asked for -- he gave me yarn, and they're models of his wife's two cats that passed away last year -- I'll be making two for my most recent Kitty Swap person. Pairs o' kitties for everyone!
... Though the next time I decide to make a tabby cat for Lillian's Knitted Kitty pattern, somebody needs to knock me unconscious.
Also, I may have made up charts for a tabby, siamese, and cow kitty with Lillian's pattern. I'm also thinking about dropping her a line to see if she minds me posting the chart pdfs in Ravelry. (Free, naturally: After all, her pattern's free, and it wasn't THAT much of a fuss for me to create them.)
My first wristies pattern is still in development, but I anticipate posting the second draft in Rav soon: I know I have at least one friend there that's willing to take a whack at knitting them for me, though I imagine the Thursday knitting group would happily help me out too. Hmm!
Not much in the way of pictures right now, but they'll come.
The completed spindle arrived on the first:
I am pleased. :)
Additionally, I'm also reaching the point of needing an extra set of eyes on a knitting pattern that I've been working on: Currently, I'm polling knitting friends for assistance. We'll see what comes of it!
