NanKnits: On the Needles
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-needles.html
Saturday, August 09, 2008. First, thanks to everybody who checks my blog frequently. And apologies that I am one of those bloggers who rarely updates. Whenever I get the Sitemeter report I am surprised that so many of you continue to check on me. Since I had a pattern stitch I liked and was not sure how to keep adjusting it for the increase/decrease, I chose to just knit back and forth and have been surprised at the shaping; perhaps when it is done and blocked it will be straight. Stay tuned.

NanKnits: April 2008
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 04, 2008. Sock Toes and Heels. I figured out (maybe) why my two sides of the mitered toes and heels were uneven.when I turned after the final purl row on short rows, I was not doing my yo's before I started the knit row back to start closing the gaps.

NanKnits: February 2008
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 22, 2008. If anybody is reading this and has any opinion, please post a comment.what did Bernat DO to Cotton Tots? Anyway, a warning to all of you who used to like Cotton Tots.you might not like it so much now. I am going to have to do a lot of prewashing and drying on this one. I actually just ordered some yarn to knit another blanket. It is from DiscontinuedBrandNameYarn and is pictured here. It is a closeout, so grab it while you can! Monday, February 18, 2008. Here is the finished me...

NanKnits: November 2007
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2007. I knitted the beret in a nice Wool of the Andes by Knitpicks. I did not do a gauge swatch, but did drop down a needle size, since I knit loosely. The beret was large on me. Came down somewhere around my nose. So I sewed about a 2" seam up the back and it now fits. I fiddled and fiddled with my calculator and jotted down results. Several times. Then promptly forgot which of the jottings was the final result. Sheesh. Wednesday, November 21, 2007. So thought I would try making t...

NanKnits: Free Yarn
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008/08/free-yarn.html
Saturday, August 09, 2008. I still have the purple cotton shawl on the needles, one wool sock to go for my son, and am working on a khaki cotton shrug for fall (it is in the 90's right now and hard to conceive of wearing that thing). But this way, I have lots of things to knit to keep from getting bored! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Knitting with my shoes off. Turtle Girl's Bloggy Thing.

NanKnits: Summer Sewing
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008/05/summer-sewing.html
Saturday, May 24, 2008. As usual in the spring, my attention turns to sewing clothing. In this case, pants. Summer weight fabrics are easy to find, work with, and wear. The colors are fun. I have difficulty finding pants since I like pull-on styles that come to my waist. I am a combination of sizes. I do still love knitting socks and have a pair on the needles; great for knitting in the car! My daughter-in-law told me to knit my son a pair of socks, so will do that when I spend a week with them at the be...

NanKnits: Another Shawl Begins
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008/07/another-shawl-begins.html
Tuesday, July 08, 2008. Finally am knitting a little again. Not that I stopped; just that I am enjoying it more and thinking design again. I do have socks on my needle with my favorite Tofutsies yarn. I also am knitting baby hats for Charlotte Knitting Guild charities. Those are fun. A photo will show up in a bit. It sounds like it will be pretty. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Knitting with my shoes off. Turtle Girl's Bloggy Thing. The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Knit 1 Blog Too.

NanKnits: January 2008
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 13, 2008. I mentioned in the entrelac post that I tend to skip important words in knitting instructions. I find I am better off designing my own, using the template from a published pattern and choosing stitches from a stitch dictionary. What really triggered this scarf designing path I find myself on, was "Leafy Scarf" in Special Little Knits from Just One Skein. First of all, this is a scarf knitted from Malabrigo Alpine Pearl. I am using a "crossed braid" pattern for a nice thick t...

NanKnits: October 2007
http://msnanknits.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 14, 2007. I put a Sitemeter on my blog to see if anybody was reading, versus me talking to myself, like I do a lot! Thank you for continuing to check by frequently, even if there are no new entries. My part-time job also kicked back into gear so I am gone from home a good bit, making some yarn money! I thought about ordering another set of the Bryspun needles, but decided to be disciplined and finish the shawl instead! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Knit 1 Blog Too.
