vacation time again

Yea for vacation. For me vacation is a two week camping event called Pennsic . This is very similar to many of the other SCA events, but just on a larger scale. this year, due to the economy and gas prices, there was only 10,500 attendees, and we have been running close to 12,000 and 13,000. My vacation started off with a bang. We had picked up a good friend of our, and her two kids, as they were going to ride with us. After getting most everything packed, and having dinner, I decided to clean litter one last time. As I was taking the first litter box out a small bird, a wren I believe, flew in to the house. It took us close to an hour to get the very frightened bird out of the house. At one point we had to move the cats out of the main section of the house, as two of them (Hammy and Dewi) were very interested in the bird, and one of them, Hammy, had actually caught it in mid-air and brought it down to the floor. He then didn't know what to do and let it go. The followin...

...and one last present to finish

So close, but so far. I only have my wife's present left to do, and everything is packaged up for gifting. I'm not sure if I will be able to do the pattern that I want for my wife's scarf. The pattern I'm using is called a berry stitch. I have pulled it out once because i had messed up on a stitch some place. I need to be a lot more carfeful in how I do the (K1, k1tbl, K1) into the same stitch and the P3tog, or else I'll have to find a new pattern. Luckily this time I was only on the 6th row. The reason that i couldn't fix it is because I couldn't tell where the mistake was (the yarn is a little fuzzy), and with all the increases and decreases, it is hard to tell exactly where the issue was. I have learned something from this pattern. I have learned that i should knit a bit looser, as putting 3 stiches in to one is a bit difficult at times. I have also learned that I have been knitting through the back loop this whole time. Unfortunately I forgot t...

busy busy busy

Well I have been keeping busy enough that trouble has stayed away from me.  My work has been sending me to a .Net programming class for 5 nights a week and two hours on Saturdays. This doesn't mean that my knitting has completely stopped though.  Just before Labor Day I was able to finish the cabled mitens for my great aunt-in-law. During Labor Day I was at my in-laws for a family reunion, and I was almost able to complete the kitchen set for my sister.  I was using Noro, and I realized that it wasn't 100% wool, so I have stopped on that project, which needs about 100 more stitches.  I'm going to try felting the two pot holders (below) and see if it is worth me finishing the last piece, or if I need to frog the whole thing and find a different yarn. Since I have t two projects so close to being done, I have started on a pink ribbon illuson scarf  (below) for my cousin, who has brest cancer, and a pair of mittens for my brother-in-law (no pictures yet). My class is going on ...
