Knitting Currents

 I am reveling in the lazy days of winter. I spent my weekend hours knitting with Dexter and Mad Men. I was so dissappointed to reach the end of my Saturday with no more Netflix to fill my Sunday.

Luckily I took the day to focus on documenting my latest wip's.


The Mustard Socks. 

 The Mustard Socks are the first of (hopefully many) socks. I am just stuck on the mitered toe! I can't get the hang of short rows, but I am determined to make them classic. I hate using short-cuts. I love thinking of women knitting socks during World War I, wishing I could make a contribution like that to my freedom. Ah, well. I'm happy to be free to knit.


The Midnight Blue Cowl

 The Midnight Blue Cowl sweater is such a piece of cake. Stockinette stitch over and over and over and over. Can't share much, because it's a Christmas gift....but I am definitely pleased with the easy peasy pattern.


Blaze Cardigan

I couldn't wait until after Christmas to start the Blaze Cardigan. I'm so in love. I love to wear cardigans, and I can't believe that I haven't been knitting them for the past six years. This is the first of many.

As I have been tossing my blog into the world, I came across another fellow Southeast knitter named Allison (I already have a knit-name twin in Skagway: Alaskan Purl). And she lives right here in Juneau! Her blog is knitosaurus, and she calls herself "Alligator." I have to admit, I'm a little pissed I didn't think of it first. I am so giddy about a name triplet,  I think we need an Allisons' Knits Trio Spectacular!
