Perfection on Sticks: In progress
http://lanafactrix.blogspot.com/2014/12/in-progress.html
Thursday, December 4, 2014. Oh good heavens, I blinked again, and here it is December. I have been knitting a great deal, mostly on this:. This," you may say, "looks an awful lot like a giant blue blob." Well, you'd be right about that. In theory it will grow up to be a " # 255 Henley neck down pullover for men. How's that for euphony? I do have lots and lots of finished objects to show you, but those will have to wait for another day, as I am back to blob knitting. Later, gators! A Quilt for Jess. Year ...

Perfection on Sticks: Setbacks
http://lanafactrix.blogspot.com/2014/10/setbacks.html
Thursday, October 9, 2014. So far, this has been a rather frustrating week. Remember the baby sweater? A very bad picture by way of reminder. All the pieces are knit, and all the extant ends woven in. Next is the duplicate stitch to form the plaid pattern. At first, I thought this would be a doddle, as I could use the crochet hook method (explained very nicely here. Next, my mindless sock-in-progress went from this (plus about two inches, since I worked on it at the movies the other day):. Subscribe to: ...

Perfection on Sticks: November 2014
http://lanafactrix.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 10, 2014. Oh my goodness, what happened to October? I blinked and there it went. I have been knitting, but don't have anything suitable to show you today . . . so let's go once more to the archives. I see I have reached Camp Loopy 2013. These were my first project, a pair of Charybdis socks. (And coincidentally I'm wearing them as I type.). By Fiona Bennett. I used my favorite toe and heel and pretty much butchered her very nice pattern. My apologies. YARN: Dragonfly Fibers Djinni Sock.

Monday, May 4, 2015. A new sock pattern for you on this rainy Monday evening. (Lovely and rainy for New Mexico! The pattern says it, mostly, but I wanted to talk a little about my inspiration for these. Sometime in like . . . darkest 2011 or something, I went to the Yarn Underground. My mom, you see, is a stone-cold hardcore gardener, and botanically-named yarn is right up her tree. (So to speak.). For all details and to purchase, follow the link.

Perfection on Sticks: Catchin' Up
http://lanafactrix.blogspot.com/2011/07/catchin-up.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. It has been so long, my lovelies! I have been knitting mostly in dribs and drabs, but lately have been seized by startitis. While the Birthday Pi. Is on hiatus (awaiting more yarn), I've also started another Mawelucky shawl, Dorothy. Because I'm a madwoman, I'm knitting it in Jojoland Harmony. Otherwise known as the world's thinnest laceweight. I am so envious of Aspen's beautiful Gail. However, that I'm willing to give it a go. I also restarted the Irishman's Sweet Georgia socks.

Perfection on Sticks: Matchless Matchless
http://lanafactrix.blogspot.com/2014/10/matchless-matchless.html
Saturday, October 18, 2014. Has it really been a week since I posted last? The week was consumed by duplicate stitch. But now that is done, and as soon as the body of the sweater dries, I can set in the sleeves and the snaps and it will be done! But for now, it is drying. As is a swatch for another sweater, and a hat I knit for the Irishman. And I finished the Animal Crackers socks, which haven't even been washed yet because I wore them immediately. (It was chilly.). I had no intention of doing so! The n...

Saturday, March 14, 2015. That $*(@$(ing Baby Sweater. I did not mean to abandon you for so long! But you know how it is, the holidays come and all of a sudden you're expected to spend time with your loved ones and cook real dinners and send out cards and stuff. Sometimes I am not a very good grownup. But I do occasionally finish a project, and, lo, the dreaded baby duplicate stitch sweater is among the finished!

Perfection on Sticks: Warm fuzzy yummy mittens
http://lanafactrix.blogspot.com/2014/12/warm-fuzzy-yummy-mittens.html
Sunday, December 21, 2014. Warm fuzzy yummy mittens. I am still battling the big blue blob. I've knit about halfway through the second sleeve, so it won't be ready for Christmas, but it should be done not long after. I have packed another present in the box and will send the sweater by and by. In the meantime, you get another finished object post! How lucky are you. Among this fiber was some angora/alpaca roving that she'd purchased at Estes in 1996 (! The roving became this:. Which in turn became these:.
