Seeing Red: June 2008
http://katiedidknits.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2008. When Gena, of Still in the Works, graciously sent me some buttons for my EB Cardigan she also included a pretty little card and one of those mini sock keychain kits. Kurt immediately decided that he should be the lucky recipient to the finished sock and I agreed. Speaking of gifts, did I ever show you the adorable little knitting bag my friend Jenna got me during Spring Break? So that's what I've been working on. I'm not sure what to start next. I would like to start a p...I fin...

Seeing Red: January 2009
http://katiedidknits.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 04, 2009. I think it's a testament to my growth as a knitter and, hopefully, an increase in my patience that I can now. Calmly hack up a sweater I knit in order to fix something. Here is my Scoop Neck Vest Sweater. After picking out, stitch-by-bloody-stitch, the beautiful tubular bind-off of the neckline (132 stitches, to be exact). Next came the sleeves. But you must be very, very careful which thread you cut or can end up swearing quite a bit. 160;Hacked up sweater! 160;I added sleeve...

Seeing Red: Lambies!
http://katiedidknits.blogspot.com/2009/04/lambies.html
Saturday, April 04, 2009. It's Lambing Season over at Farmgirl Fare. And the little tiny lambs seem even more cute this year than they have in the past few. Check it out but be forewarned that the cuteness will almost melt your brain. Posted by Katie Collette. So cute. If only they didn't grow up to be stinky, slightly dumb adults, I'd want one. Instead I'll just take the wool. To Knit or To Study? HPKCHC: Spring Break at Hogwarts. Pass the non-alcoholic beer! Still In the Works. Hat, Cardi, and School.

Seeing Red: Hat, Cardi, and School
http://katiedidknits.blogspot.com/2009/04/hat-cardi-and-school.html
Hat, Cardi, and School. Sunday, April 26, 2009. I ended up choosing the Garter Yoke Cardi. Which Big Geek Beth. Just finished. It's simple and cute and (almost) what I was looking for in a cardigan pattern. I'm using up the rest of my Harmony 10 ply in brown and it is going fast. I love size 8 needles! This is the yoke last week after I figured out how to do the couple of short rows it requires. Thanks for the help Beth and Ravelry peeps! Posted by Katie Collette. To Knit or To Study?

Sunday, June 14, 2009. So, I'm giving it up. The blog, that is. I will leave up the archives at least for awhile but I don't plan to continue posting. I have never had many regular readers though I do appreciate the ones I've had. Thanks for reading, guys! I still plan to read the handful of knit blogs I have in my reader, which includes all of you. :-). Posted by Katie Collette. To Knit or To Study? HPKCHC: Spring Break at Hogwarts.

Seeing Red: February 2009
http://katiedidknits.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. If anyone else noticed the strangeness in my mittens yesterday and politely didn't say anything: thank you. I think. Because it took me knitting all of the second thumb, binding off, and weaving in the ends to realize. I had two right-hand mittens. Dangit! Anyone know of any good tutorials for slipping in an afterthought thumb when you hadn't planned for it? 160;I've already ripped out and sewn up the offending thumb hole. Posted by Katie Collette. Too Cool to be Square.

Seeing Red: April 2008

The Key Was In The Mix. Sunday, April 13, 2008. So far, so good. I finally got to a point where I could try this sucker on and I am so relieved that it actually fits. It fits! It must be the small gauge (had to go down to US 4's to get gauge! But all those countless* sleeve stitches just made me think of overly ginormous sleeves that my poor, little stick-bone arms would be swimming in. Not so. They seem to fit perfectly. I also think the BRIGHT green is growing on me.). Posted by Katie Collette. That pi...

Seeing Red: March 2009
http://katiedidknits.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Pooling vs. Flooding. Monday, March 30, 2009. I finished my blue socks with the annoying pooling and they actually look alright. Since then, I've begun my sister's Swirly Hat aka, my official Blizzard KAL hat. . Get gauge, and c) it's looking a little small even though gauge tells me it should be huge. I'm just hoping that's because the provisional cast-on I used left a short piece of yarn in the edge that belies it's actual length. Yeah, that's it. Posted by Katie Collette. Sunday, March 15, 2009.
