What is it about drivers here in Pittsburgh? I have synesthesia, but that doesn’t prevent me from distinguishing between red and green lights. Or from noticing the bright fluorescent yellow PEDESTRIAN CROSSING signs placed in the middle of the street. That’s all this disgruntled pedestrian will say on the subject. Moving on to knitting…
huh?? My camera works again!
I’ve stalled a bit on a wrap I’m designing. It’s a unique design in which I need to know exactly how the final edge border will be worked before I can continue knitting the bulk of the item. I have about 1/3 of the wrap done so far and it’s looking lovely all pinned out on my blocking board, waiting for some magical border inspiration to hit. In the meantime, I picked up my aunt’s “pico” socks again and I’m making good progress. I started them earlier this summer using size 0 bamboo dpns which just about did me in, literally. I had a pesky pain in my left arm for days because of these stupid dpns and had to stop knitting completely for what seemed like years (even if it was only for a week). Then came urgent projects and some magazine submissions, etc… so the socks were placed on the back burner until last week. I’m now using some heavenly knit picks nickel plated circulars (for magic loop) instead of those wretched dpns and I’m making so much progress! The leg on the right sock is totally done, and I have another 5 lace repeats to go on the left to catch up. Maybe these socks will actually get finished and gifted before winter starts??
I think I’ve decided to sell my knitting patterns on Patternfish, an online store where people can buy or sell knitting or crochet patterns as customized PDF downloads. As I’m super lazy, and I make no effort to hide that fact (which in itself is lazy), I just never got around to it. I do sell a few patterns through Etsy and Ravelry, but I have a few newer designs and I could definitely stand some more exposure. I need to reformat some of my patterns to fit the Patternfish template but I think in the end it will be worth it. Some of my old patterns need spruced up anyway.
