Okay, as you can see there are still some kinks to work out. If any of you are familiar with WordPress and could help me out with what I need to do (files or tables to edit etc.) to get rid of those error messages I’d appreciate your leaving me comment on how to fix them…
In knitting news, it is picture day!
Openwork Scarf
Sz 13s
Trendsetter’s Dune
The above is a picture of the beginnings of a scard I am making with some of the yarn I picked up in Loveland last week. It’s Trendsetter’s Dune, which contains two strands of yarn. The funny thing is that I have a cone (not full) of the glittery strand or somethin *very* *very* similar, LOL! But I’m really liking it with this pattern, though it is verging on too fuzzy as the openwork is lost in this picture.
Deteil of openwork.
If you have a bit of space between the scarf and a light background you can see the openwork a bit better. I just love this pattern!
Crystal Palace’s Whisper
This was the other ball of yarn I purchased last week. This will be combined with the Sockotta yarn I bought last Tuesday at Lambspun and be used to make the cuff on a pair of anklets. I think it’l make for some fun socks that will make you smile. That’s the goal anyway since I’m making them for a woman fighting cancer and away from her family for 4 months to get the best treatment she can.
Now, I’m late because I’ve been messing around with this WordPress stuff, but it’s time for me to head out to knitting tea for this week. I think the break from the computer might do me some good. But, please, please, if you know anything about WordPress shed some light. I never get responses of any help at the support forum…
I’m ready for a more challenging sock pattern. I’m getting tired of just plain ribs for the ankle. Today I did not leave my wallet in the car and I bought some worsted weight Lamb’s Pride to make some really warm sort of house socks for a friend of ours who lives on the top of a mountain in NM in the middle no where and his housing is less than comfortable in the winter. When he was visiting a while ago he happened to give me a hint as to his favorite color. So, I’m set, except I’d like a more interesting pattern than a standard 1X1, 3X1, 2X2 etc. rib. I’d preffer the pattern to be free or downloadable. But am somewhat flexible. So, please enlighten me with your favorite patterns for men’s socks. It doesn’t have to be worsted weight. I can do okay adjusting to match my gauge or I hope to knit some socks for DH as well so I’d like to build a set of links…
Oh, and while I’m asking questions… I thought I remembered reading somewhere that you could carry sewing thread with to reinforce toes/heels - is this true and if so is it a particular type of sewing thread? The stuff I bought last week just doesn’t come in enough colors to look good with the yarn purchase I made today so if I could just use some sewing thread I could pick a color that blended better.
TIA!
I’m moving to http://www.designedlykristi.com. I’ve successfully moved the archives and such to the new domain. In a week or less this URL will point to the new home, but in the meantime, all updates will be taking place over at http://knitting.designedlykristi.com. If we’re all lucky the process of point kurki15 to designedlykristi won’t take long, but as it is a tech support request I don’t have any control over.
I hope you’ll continue to visit at the new home. Any current links and such should point to the new place in a week or so. Otherwise just manually head over by using the link above!
