Woe to stockinette stitch!

Well folks, back so soon.

Knit news:


I knit a scarf over Thanksgiving break. It was beeauuutttiful.

Keyword: Was.

I used Wool-Ease Thick N' Quick on size 13 needles, and the 5 foot scarf took about 4 days to complete. Not too bad, actually. I used their green and orange in a vertical stripe pattern, 6 st green, 6 st orange, 6 stitches green. A nice quick pattern if you're looking to get aquainted with bobbin (color) knitting.

My folly?

I made it in stockinette stitch, the entire thing. The whole thing curled in. Terribly. it looked more like one of those things you shove under a door to prevent drafts than a frikkin' scarf.

So i'm going to knit it again. This time using a stitch that won't curl.

onward and upward, folks.

My goodness, it's been a while. And apparently I say "my goodness" now. Well, I've got a lot of projects I've worked on, a lot of "Pins" to evaluate for the sake of the internet. Keep watching this space! The first and true Yarnarchist is still around, accept no substitutes.

yarnarchist once again..?

well hey there! long time no see. since i started waitressing, workin' the needles is occasionally painful on my wrists (and vice versa, knitting hurts my wrists when i work...) so i really haven't been knitting much of anything. However, i'm sortof feeling lame and uninteresting, so i think i'm going to pick up my needles and start some projects to spice up my life. right now, i have a little dish cloth on the needles for a quick and inspiring project to jump start things once again. i can't decide what my next real project should be; should i try (another) sweater? hats? socks? something for my mom's birthday (in 2 weeks, none the less. + time to ship!) ... something for my beau's sister's new baby (due in august... this is possible...) ... Oh, lament! so many things to knit, so little time. Well, in other knitting news, i've restarted my interest in Ravelry, where you may or may not be reading this right now, and found some groups w/ local knitter...
