Finally, a new post!


For a while there, I really wasn't knitting anything adventurous. Then, I just got out of the habit of blogging about what I am doing. But lately, I have taken on some new knitting adventures, so it is time to post again.

One new adventure I set for myself involved converting a pattern for a baby bunting that was written to be knitted in pieces and joined by seaming into a nearly-seamless pattern. This was very complicated. I managed to do it, but I am not sure I would do it again. I certainly would not for such a complexly-shaped piece.

Another new adventure was knitting a project I designed myself: baby boots. That went very well, and I am considering making the design available on Ravelry.

And, the adventure in which I am currently immersed (mired?) is knitting a sweater for my husband, on size 3 (very small) needles. This could take a while. If I'm lucky, I'll finish it by his birthday in January. Wish me luck!
