STEEKING HAS STARTED

Well, this project is going along swimmingly, if I do say so myself:






before I knew it, I was at the point where the armhole steeks are to be created:












and here's the first of the two steeks:







then I was not comfy with the way the yarn was wound on one of the cakes, so I rewound:
much better, at least to my eye.






as always, please click on the pix to enlarge.

And someone else gave her approval:

PRETTIER IN PINK

I am now sure that this is one of the best movies ever made and watched (after having just finished watching it for the 900th time.

but the real reason I'm writing tonight is to celebrate my friend's brilliant report from her oncologist - all (and ( MEAN ALL) the tumors have SHRUNK!!!

so, herewith, my homage to PINK:

and there are probably many more pink pix, but I can't find them now - and please stay tuned for the progress of the Kauni Cardi:

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS TO ALL ON A SATURDAY NIGHT!!!

If You Are Interesting...

So, I had to be midtown today on West 31st Street.  It was too close of a location not to stop in at School Products.
So, I walked in to the shop, and ran into a couple of interesting characters.

I happened to be wearing my koigu alligator wrap and carrying my recently started  cardigan... envy ensued.

So, I walked across W29th street, heading toward the uptown bus, and came across this:

check closely - hopefully there's someone "interesting" around...

 

Kauni Krazi

there's something to be said about order... so I've given you the order in which the garment is progressing:

hAPPY St Patrick's Day!

PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE ...

PAID OFF!!
look what came in the mail today:









and it contained this:






















oh happy day ... the Kauni effektgarn EQ (regenbogen) arrived - only 5 days from order to delivery, and two of them were weekend days!

now the poor little Oregon cardi will have to take a back seat - I must immediately wind up one 210g that's 800+yds) so that I can start on this wonderful pattern...

do I have the patience to wind it?  hope so!

and yes, it is like catnip...

Boredom Bade me Bite the Bullet

OK - so I have a problem with the Khaki Cables Sweater.  So I put it away to ponder itself until it works itself out.
While patiently awaiting the Kauni effektgarn , I decided to pick up this little project that's only needing the right sleeve:











I think that's all I'm allowed to say about it!

I "think" I gave birth to a ROCK STAR!!!

CHECK THIS OUT and tell me what you think... 

that's all I'm sayin ...

still knitting, but nothing to show on the blog at the moment -
