I am knitting from my stash this year. After hauling out my yarn boxes and sorting through them, so I could add photos of the ones I didn’t have to my Rav stash, I came to the realisation that I Must Knit The Stash before, well, it knits me. So there we are, the main [...]

[Meg] New Year, New knitulations
January 18, 2009 – 11:45 am
So, it’s over halfway through January and I am on a finishing things roll (hold the mayo). For one thing, as of last Wednesday I am done with my MSc. thesis. Yup, one hundred and eighty five pages on online communities and social bookmarking was printed out twice and handed in, two days before the [...]
The Earthling’s New Hat [jam]
December 6, 2008 – 9:17 pm
The Earthling’s New Hat Originally uploaded by TFV. Finally got around to writing up the pattern (In the sidebar or Here. The pattern works pretty well, I think. There’s lots of stretch and the bias from the decreases/increases means that it stays in place, but isn’t tight at all, so there should be some room [...]

knitting 034 Originally uploaded by jamjarring. Finished! Done, and finished in good time (week of the final clue). I think this way of working, to sectional deadline, is very helpful for me in terms of getting things done. It was possible to catch up on a lazy week in the next week, and do that [...]

October 18, 2008 – 11:06 pm
I am currently at home to the Daleks of procrastination [TM The Hand-Knitted Pirate] in regards to my MSc. Thesis (Ahaha. Ahaha.

Way of Life Stole [jam]

Way of Life Stole Originally uploaded by jamjarring. Current project, a mystery knit along from a pattern by Knitting Delight, currently available for free from the yahoogroup or here for the ravelry. The pattern is nicely charted, clear to read and no mistakes. It’s knit sideways so casting on is a little harsh. I’m managing [...]
Nutkin wristwarmers [jam]

extrasharp Originally uploaded by jamjarring. This image has been severely tweaked in an attempt to make the pattern clearer. It looks fine in real life, but not so much on picture with this yarn. In person, the pattern is more 3D, it’s easier to see the nice bias, the wool is lovely autumnal shades… in [...]
Sidar baby duffle

Sidar baby duffle Originally uploaded by jamjarring. It’s been so long since I posted anything to this blog. So about time, right? This, by the way, is the most recent project I’ve finished. The pattern is from Sidar, to use with their baby bamboo (great yarn), but I had some baby cashmerino so… I’m very [...]
