It’s been really hectic and quite crazy here at ChezThib. That Big Festive Holiday is almost upon us and consequently, there hasn’t been much knitting. Given the serious lack of available time, it seems that there is nothing better than a little blocking and finishing to make one feel a sense of acomplishment. Here is [...]

Afraid…
Posted in project photos, sweater, Uncategorized on May 23, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I realized something about myself this week right after I picked up the Slipped Hours Sweater. I realized that I am a big, fat, chicken when it comes to knitting sweaters. I love the idea; and believe you – me, I have enough sweater quanities of yarn to prove that statement. And, I like the [...]
I’ll Take the Bronze

In the interest of full disclosure, I didn’t make it. I was one and a half sleeves away by mid day today and that’s when I noticed a fatal flaw. Somehow between 10PM and midnight last night, I had crossed a cable in my sleeve the wrong way. And, there was no going back without [...]
Ravelympics Watch, Day 11

Somehow I am behind. Sadly, I am only 3/4 of the way done the second front. I fully expected to be halfway through the back by now. Clearly, I have been spending too much time cooking, cleaning, and interacting with my family. I plan to rectify that soon. No more fooling around. Game face on. [...]

I fully expect to cast off the right front of my Fireside Sweater tonight. See how far I have come in just two and a half days? And, I was totally right about this yarn. Soft, yet sproingy. Perfect. See you in another day or so for a check in.
Off. Like M’bra.

So, TG and I are hopping off into the Skies and heading out to the city of beads. That’s right, we are headed off to New Orleans for almost Mardi Gras. And, no, despite the title of this blog post, I won’t be showin’ my 38 longs and collecting beads. We are going for the [...]
Throwing Caution to the Wind

A new sweater jumped onto my needles a while back. It’s being knit in fingering weight and has a gajillion stitches. So, the progress has been slow and not very picture worthy to date. This morning though, I decided I had enough of a sweater to really show off the amazing color that is the [...]
On Completion

I finished the Mushroom sweater on October 22, 2009. I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about it sooner. It fits like a dream. I swear. I used less than four balls of Malabrigo and added about 3 inches of length. I normally have to do this because most patterns don’t [...]
Where Did That Time Go?

Wow, I just realized that it has been almost a month since I last blogged. How did that happen? I may never know. Would you like to see what I have been doing? I knit me some Monkeys out of Wollmeise 100% sockenwolle in Terra di Sienna. I started a couple of Kitty Pi’s And [...]
It’s Been Awhile

I haven’t had the posting Mojo lately. I think I have been spending too much time on Ravelry. I did cast on for a pair of socks though. These are being knit out of that new fangled merino/cashmere/nylon blend that all the kids are raving about these days. You can’t tell that these are Sunshine [...]
