Doowicky: Jogless Color Changes
http://doowicky.blogspot.com/2012/09/jogless-color-changes.html
Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Okay, so in my 5 years of knitting, I've never done stripes that are narrow enough to keep two yarns active, carrying them forward. Let alone doing that on a tube, knitted in the round. So I went back to the TK's method. Okay, so it does have a jog but admittedly it's not a bad jog. And I do see that if stretched much at all, it shows very little. Well, looking at it closely, it's that. Round 1 of a color change:.

Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Friday, February 24, 2012. Whether during a power outage or just in the course of living, there's just nothing like a bunch of mason jars in your pantry, filled with recipes of homemade goodness that normally takes 2-3 hours to make each. Split Pea Soup for example, Beef Stew for another, your own family recipe of spaghetti sauce with. I forgot how simple it is, how little cleanup it generates, and how unbelievably great it is to get to enjoy a re...

Doowicky: Equalizing Mirrored Yarnovers
http://doowicky.blogspot.com/2012/10/equalizing-mirrored-yarnovers.html
Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Thursday, October 11, 2012. Important Note: Bear in mind, on this particular shawl, YOs are worked on every row (both RS and WS). Serving as wingspan length increasers. On the RS rows, the pattern states that "no modifications are needed." It's on the WS rows that this treatment is specified; however I think this also may apply universally if the key to equalizing eyelet size is not twisting the yarn on one of them on the next row. Knitting in the...

Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Sunday, November 20, 2011. Since there isn't enough fruit to fill a whole pie shell, I just piled them in the middle and folded over the sides. Loved it. The whole thing takes. mmmm, maybe 3 minutes of active time to make. If that. Talk about quickie no-brainer pastry, it's almost criminal that it looks and tastes as though someone took hours on this. And then there's this Dutch Baby. Recipe is not my invention or unvention). Links to this post.

Doowicky: A less visible SSK
http://doowicky.blogspot.com/2012/10/improved-ssk.html
Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Friday, October 19, 2012. A less visible SSK. Quick note so I won't forget. On SSK, slips first stitch as though to knit (as normal) but then slip the second of the two as though to purl, still with the yarn in back. Then proceed as normal with the K part of the SSK. It appears to be quite less visible. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some "Time Out" Links (just 'cuz they're so fun). Spinning Tree Moss (article and video of an amazing woman).

Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Thursday, December 8, 2011. Two For Ones Purely Practical Legwarmers. Hen we think of legwarmers, we often think of scrunched up fashion accessories worn around the ankles over tights. While you can certainly do that with these, they were conceived to wear. Jeans or business pants for warmth and to stay up. So you don't have to fuss and fiddle with them throughout the day. Bottoms will show over shoes (above photo). WHY TWO NEEDLE SIZES:. In the i...

Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Friday, September 21, 2012. Getting a Balanced 2-Ply. Well, one method, anyway. This was also my first time spinning fine enough to get laceweight (2-plied) because my default spin has always ended up worsted weight which is what I mostly knitted with prior to the lace obsession. So here's the yarn after 2-plying. For newbie spinners, a "balanced yarn" is. well, technically, it's X counterclockwise twists per inch where X is equal to the. Ignoring...

Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Saturday, October 6, 2012. It Wasn't Horse Heaven After All. This is an update to what I. Was to be a wonderful forever home for my much loved (and only) horse of 7 years. Oh, grain, fly spray, fly masks. " Well, she knew all that, and these are not expensive. I went silent. She then continued, "That. and school's starting next week.". You knew that when you took her.". I asked if she was selling or giving Cloud away? No nothing like that.". This ...

Knitting and Spinning Projects and Other Mindless Trivia. Monday, June 25, 2012. When you have a horse for seven years and you've taken care of her, from her most intimate needs to scratching fly bites on her chest as she cranes her neck to guide your scratching spots. When you've gotten out of bed at 2am to trudge out to the barn with a flashlight to see if the sub-zero temps and high winds that knocked out your power have her shivering. It's o-kaaaaay, it's o-kaaaay". And also when you throw down a tar...
