Yarns: December 2009

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 25, 2009. Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it! Another huge thing I've wanted is a Garmin Forerunner GPS watch. I'm planning to do another marathon this year (at least 1, maybe 2) and maybe some half marathons and so having this watch is great! Sunday, December 20, 2009. Thank goodness for friends with spare keys! I was pretty disappointed with the mall. My xmas gifts consist of knitted items and books and can you believe it? So we get home and snow is everywhere. My mother imm...

Yarns: March 2010

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Well yesterday was a crazy day. Back on Feb 22 I applied for a job with World Teach. The interviews went well but they were phone interviews so you can't really be sure that it all went as you might interpret. So I was happily surprised when at 6pm I received the following in an email: "It is my pleasure to offer you the position of Ecuador Summer Program Coordinator." Then mid-reading the email my phone rang and it was them saying that I'd gotten the job. Yippee! This is way l...

Yarns: January 2010

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 28, 2010. Here's Charlize Theron in the shawl:. A copy of the pattern is available from my sidebar or can be downloaded from ravelry (for those that want to be able to save the pattern to their rav library). It's a free pattern: download now. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Anyhow here are some photos from my day out:. First, a new shawl I designed based on the shawl Charlize Theron wore throughout the movie Sweet November. Then here's Damson designed by Ysolda Teague:. In other news, I'm fe...

Yarns: Roku

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2010/03/roku.html

Friday, March 19, 2010. Then I was of two minds on the thumb and I'm still of two minds. I thought stripes would be fierce (as Tyra Banks would say):. But then I thought it would be nice to incorporate the Tweed colorwork from the cuff. So I did both and in the end decided to include the instructions on how to do each as part of the pattern. That way the knitter can decide which she prefers or like me, might do one of each. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

Yarns: Meeting Nicky

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2010/04/meeting-nicky.html

Thursday, April 8, 2010. Today I worked (interned) at a Soho Publishing photo shoot. First thing I had to do was put all the clothes from a trunk on hangers onto a rack. Then I had to steam iron all of them. I got a few steam burns - steam hurts! Nicky was awesome. During some quiet times, I sat knitting so she came and talked to me about it. I told her I was trying to be a designer and happened to have my Paluk snood. Here are a few pics from my day. Lots more on Flickr. I adore Nicky Epstein! Yes, NYC ...

Yarns: What a day!

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-day.html

Friday, April 2, 2010. Today has been a harrowing day. It started out well. I'd been working on a sock design for a while. While I love knitting socks, I hadn't really thought of designing any. Then I saw information about this sock revived design contest. My two skeins of yarn:. I then started knitting and taking notes as I went along. After the heel flap I knew I wouldn't want to attempt to try to decrease in that pattern so I thought, stripes! I named these socks: Electric Boogaloo. Then today, April ...

Yarns: August 2009

http://karako17.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 31, 2009. Ghana Retrospective: Some videos. I've been going through my Ghana photos and videos today and uploaded some of my videos to YouTube. 1 A typical morning. The students say their prayers, sing the national anthem and then say the pledge of allegiance. Then they sing and march off to class. Here's the upper grades marching off to class. It didn't occur to me to record this until after the little ones had also marched off. :-). Friday, August 28, 2009. Monday, August 24, 2009. Also,...
