The bag is almost finished! I haven’t taken a picture of the finished felted bag, as it’s still drying, but it’s almost a “finished object.” I figure it’ll be dry by tomorrow evening and I’ll take a picture then.
I think I messed up seaming the corners, the directions stated to fold the corners into triangles, [...]
The body and one sleeve are now complete on Zach’s sweater. Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick will not be used in any future sweater project of mine. It is heavy, and not really in a good way. Since I was making this sweater to be a comfy lounge-about sweater, it’ll be okay, but I’ll [...]
After my initial difficulties when I first began knitting this bag, it is actually proving to be a rather simple knit. I’m almost done with the patterned body. I’m hoping my color choice wasn’t a mistake. I think if I were to start it all over again, I would start with the brown, not the [...]
The blasted (but darn cute) thing is finally finished! I decided to take an “action shot” this time, since I was feeling festive. I had to break out the tripod, and I took several photos to finally end up with this photo. It’s totally cheesy, but I really, really like it. I’m not nuts about [...]
I am notoriously bad at starting projects and then taking forever to finish them. Forever as in years. This is especially true with projects that involve sewing multiple parts together or other massive amounts of finishing work. I’m pretty sure I wrote about this one time, but I like sewing, I like knitting, but I [...]
As I was preparing to frog my mosaic tote border again, I was wondering what bag I would attempt in its place. However, I realized that as much as there were other bags that I’d like to knit, I really wanted to succeed at knitting the one I had already started. So, instead of ripping [...]
Okay. Maybe the Golden Mosaic Tote is not meant to be. I started the top border again, quadruple counted my stitches, triple checked to make sure that my cast-on row wasn’t twisted, etc. I knitted and purled away, completed my buttonhole rows, and recounted my stitches. 118. 118?? I started with 128, or so I [...]
Ah, a couple of hours of wasted time, all because I’m apparently dumb. Yesterday I started knitting the Golden Mosaic Tote from Knit It! Felt It!. It’s knit in the round, and even though I swear I checked to make sure my cast-on row wasn’t twisted, it apparently was. Luckily, I only finished the top [...]
