Blocking Tomorrow, the Mai Tai Tonight!

Posted in Aran Pocket Shawl, chevron scarf, cocktails on April 30, 2007 | 14 Comments »

Life has been a social whirl this past week here at Molecular Knitting: three dinners out last week! This did not leave a lot of time for knitting but I did manage to get the Chevron Scarf off the needles. So tomorrow (Monday) evening is dedicated to blocking both it and the Aran Pocket Shawl. [...]

Sparkly and Shimmery

Posted in cable-rib socks, chevron scarf on April 26, 2007 | 19 Comments »

So Monday evening I finished the first pink cabled sock. I started to cast on for the second but was having difficulty counting to 66. Apparently, I don’t count well after 10 in the evening. I decided to work on the chevron scarf as I only needed to be able to count to 5. I [...]

Catching Up

Posted in cable-rib socks, chevron scarf, cocktails on April 23, 2007 | 20 Comments »

I feel I am falling behind in my blogging responsibilities, so let’s play catch up. First up, the pink braided cable rib sock is almost to the toe! It looks a little goofy in the photo below as the instep needle did not care to be photogenic today. Astute readers will notice that I stopped [...]

Cable Hooks

First and foremost I would like to thank everyone who commented so positively on the pocketless Aran Pocket Shawl. Bonus points to JayJay and Abby for noticing the APS channeling Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Right now, the APS is enjoying a little lie-in to calm her poor nerves before the blocking process. She [...]

It’s a Wrap

Posted in Aran Pocket Shawl on April 16, 2007 | 9 Comments »

It’s late, but she’s hot off the needles, ends woven in, ready to block (I’m going to spin it in my “I can spin delicates safely” washing machine, but I’m not worried–much). “Can you believe she’s going to make me, the Aran POCKET Shawl, without pockets? It’s a travesty of knitting! I’m made of 50% [...]

Seizing the Sock Mojo

Posted in cable-rib socks on April 13, 2007 | 14 Comments »

A nasty cold has hampered me this week, but even so, I decided I must seize the sock mojo. I finally thought I had a sock success but then I realized that I was using up yarn at an alarming rate. I was forced to come to the conclusion that I would have to either [...]

A FO!

Posted in Piecrust Scarf, etsy purchases on April 10, 2007 | 10 Comments »

I’ve been holding out on you. I finished the Piecrust Basketweave scarf sometime in mid-March; I’ve been keeping the FO post back, knowing that there would come a time when all I had by way of new knitting is longer WIPs. Both my chevron scarf and Aran Pocket shawl are significantly longer than in their [...]

New VLT Project

Posted in victorian lace on April 6, 2007 | 11 Comments »

I am very tired, but after tomorrow it will be just normal work, not work from the inner circles of Hell. Yay! To celebrate the upcoming liberation (and boost my morale), a few days ago I cast on for a new project from Victorian Lace Today. Officially, it is the “Scarf with the open and [...]

Couch-o-Meter

Posted in Aran Pocket Shawl, chevron scarf, silliness on April 3, 2007 | 15 Comments »

When work takes up so much time that knitting progress slows to the proverbial crawl, I find it soothing to use an alternative measurement system. A shawl or scarf requires far too many inches to be complete to make two inches seem like much to crow about. Therefore, I have made use of our red [...]

Thank You, Nova and Little Sir!

It’s been work, work, work here at Molecular Knitting this week (and the past two weeks, too, come to think of it). So much so that the senior graduate student in lab, who is finishing writing her PhD thesis, remarked that she was glad she was not me, she only had a thesis to write. [...]
