Katy-girl Knits: Mojo Knittin'
http://katy-girl.blogspot.com/2010/11/mojo-knittin.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. I was never a big Mojo Nixon fan (except for the classic " Elvis is Everywhere. Of course) but every time I think about my knitting mojo, my brain does a little trick and his name pops into mind. That is entirely irrelevant, but true. What's also true is that I am back in business as far as finishing projects goes. First, a couple photos of my Traveling Sweater. Then there's a super-quick project I knit in about three evenings - a Skeleton Key Tam knit in Malabrigo Twist.

Katy-girl Knits: June 2011

Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Quickest second sock EVER! Well, I've been knitting, despite summer's approach. I've finished 3/4 of a Goodale. That still needs blocking, the Stripe Study shawl I mentioned last time (photo to come), a few inches on a diaphanous Breezy Cardigan. And to the best of my memory, three single socks. First was the lusciously textured Gridiron. I'm embarassed to admit I've completely forgotten, and even neglected to create a Ravelry project page for it. Then I knit a Serab. Or else th...

Katy-girl Knits: Back on track (FOs #17-19)
http://katy-girl.blogspot.com/2010/11/back-on-track-fos-17-19.html
Sunday, November 14, 2010. Back on track (FOs #17-19). I have been knitting. A lot. Not a day has gone by since my last FO post without at least a row or two completed on one project or another. But for various reasons, I just didn't manage to finish anything for a (long) while. All that has changed, though, and I have three items to show for my recent productivity. First, last weekend I finally kitchenered the toe on sock #2 of my Mad For Plaid. For these. I used their new-at-the-time Solid Series.

Sunday, April 24, 2011. For you, Sarah. Looking at my Ravelry projects, it looks like I've finished a few things, but not tons, which is probably pretty accurate. There was a modified Reunion Cowl. I made a sort of medium size in fingering weight). A pair of 3x1 rib socks out of STR. For my awesome co-teacher Danielle. A Lacy Baktus. That I mostly knit while on a life-altering yoga retreat at Kripalu. Most of a pair of fair isle Strawberry Mittens. The back and one side of an Aidez. Links to this post.

Katy-girl Knits: March 2010
http://katy-girl.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Another little finished object, but it's finished, so it counts! I finished up the neckwarmer for Danny just as the warm weather has arrived. Oops. But it's soft and handsome and he likes it, and if there's one sure thing about living in Boston, it's that winter will come again, all too soon. Haven't got a good photo of this one yet either, so I'll have to post a pic of our matching neckwarmies sometime soon. Pattern: Darkside Cowl (Ravelry Link). Links to this post. Haven't ev...

Katy-girl Knits: May 2010
http://katy-girl.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. Well, the Passiflora. Enter the Traveling Sweater. Look how cozy and useful! I hate heat, and knitting this makes me think how cozy autumn will be when it gets here.) Look at the brand. It was over before it even began - there was no use resisting the attraction. I ordered the yarn and the pattern, it arrived, and I cast on. Love, love, love knitting this. It's fairly simple, so far, at least, with just enough short rows to keep it interesting. And the yarn. The only snag is that I'...

Friday, June 18, 2010. Bermuda was heavenly - perfect weather (temperatures in the low-to-mid 70s), gorgeous scenery, lovely people, water that is warm and perfectly clear down-to-your-toes, sand the likes of which I've never walked upon (soft as powder, foot-caressing, and indeed pink! And just amazingly welcoming and relaxing. We had such a nice time exploring and swimming every day. I even took my first-ever horseback ride. Coloway: Black Spotted Prominent Caterpiller.

Katy-girl Knits: February 2010
http://katy-girl.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Check out these medals, y'all! How ya like me now? Links to this post. Yes, that's right, I finished my scarf well before the Olympic torch was extinguished! I just finished it 15 minutes ago, 2/21/10 at 11:41pm. Ends are woven in, and now it just needs a rinse and some time on the blocking mats to open up the lace, and I'll wear it like a medal. Cats are so weird. So, project specs:. Pattern: Lace Ribbon Scarf. Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts, Socks That Rock Lightweight. Knitting ...

Tuesday, April 27, 2010. This one's so little it's only an fo, not an FO. But it's an object, and it's finished, so here it is. Took me more than one evening - more like a little bit of three consecutive evenings, an hour here, a couple rows there. Bound off and sewed on the button tonight while having a little sit-n-knit at Diesel with Sojo. I'm so thrilled that Sarah's started knitting - finally someone to both stitch *and* bitch with! Yarn: Three Irish Girls Springvale Super Merino. Links to this post.
