During Two Thousand Thirteen
SIX MILES OF YARN has passed through my needles
Not as many miles as the previous year's ten miles
but still that's a whole lotta miles.
That ten thousand, five hundred sixty yards made:
10 pair of sox
6 shawls
3 cowls
1 pullover sweater
numerous dish cloths/spa clothes
and
A CARDIGAN THAT FITS ME PERFECTLY !!
10,560 yards
*******************
It has been snowin' and blowin' since late last night
Time for a cup of java

I do believe I will stay in today. Plan on starting an afghan "Yggdrasil". Prayers I can follow a chart!!
ReplyDeletethere's a KAL on Ravelry for this.
Casting on from the center out sounds like something you would do
DeleteWhat size are you thing of doing?
What ?cotton? Will you use?
These negative temps are something, aren't they,
Warm hugs
I plan on the baby blanket size. Caron simply soft. it's washable, and so soft!!!
DeleteIs the entire yggdrasil knit in the baby version??
DeleteIf so, what size needles used in baby version verses afghan version?
Hugs
There are 3 different sizes. when you're up to the end of the first braid, you BO, if you want it larger you do Stockinette, then border; if largest, another stockinette section then final braid. I haven't started yet. Probably do size 11. I think it's "loose" gauge to take care of all the cables (ugh). That's my reasoning anyway. Swatch on size 9 was not right gauge, so I know I have to move up a size or 2.
DeleteI see there were some who modified the design
DeleteEven one who may have interpreted rather nicely
Depends on what definition of Ydddrasil is on one's mind while knitting it I suppose
Am anxious to follow your progress
Hey, what color?
Stitch definition is good using the featured yarn
Btw, how will you handle the chart with those numerous 'cable stitch' changes?
DeleteMy method is to color code so just a glance tells me which stitch is next
And, of course
Stitch markers are my friends. :-)
You've still kept those needles moving even though you knit less than the previous year. There is no need to hang your head in shame 8^). Seriously, that's a lot of knittin'!!! Joe and I were outside yesterday for over two hours in that extreme cold clearing the driveway and our deck. I opted to do the deck while Joe did the screened in porch. The snow sifted in so everything was covered in snow ( less than an inch but still it needed to be moved). We both worked on the driveway and steps to the front door. I wonder if the sun will be able to melt anything today?
ReplyDeleteNot certain how much melting will happen with these negative temps
DeleteBut, any amount of sunshine we get is certainly welcomed
After all
June isn't that far away.
Hugs
What a great accomplisment ~ six miles?! I'm in awe.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Evelyn
DeleteMy proud achievement is my cardi
I just love wearing it
But if there is AWE
it is your magic with knitting needles
Everything I've seen of your's is inspiring, Evelyn
How is the SNOW situation in your neighborhood?
We're at -8°
Oh, Baby, it's cold outside
Hugs
