New Knitty!

The Fall Knitty is up! Happy Happy Joy Joy! I deeply love this issue : lots of great patterns. The Henry scarf looks great, I think even the boyfriend (ie Mr Picky) might like it. Cherie Amour looks great, maybe with less bulky yarn. tussie mussie looks great, maybe not for me. I covet Neiman like crazy. Just awesome. I'm itching to start this as soon as possible.

In other news, I can't wait for the new TV season to start. I'm eager to see a few of the new shows : mainly Bionic Woman, because my love for Katee Sackhoff knows no bounds. Also Moonlight, which I expect to suck but hey, Jason Dohring is in it : as Veronica Mars goes, so goes my nation. I'm also happy to welcome back Friday Night Lights into my life : greatest show on TV as far as I'm concerned (with Battlestar Galactica, of course)... Then there's Bones, CSI, Heroes... So much good stuff! With the NFL coming back, I think my lazy-boy and I are gonna be fused together. Plus, great knitting opportunities.

I'm still knitting away on the back of my minimalist cardigan. I should start the armhole decreases tomorrow. I dearly hope I will finish this on schedule.

Minimalist update


I need this to be finished for the 18th! I'm using cotton-ease for the first time. I frakkin love it. It's the best cotton I've ever worked with. I'm 20 cm (8 inches) into the back. Knitting seed stitch is so slow. I want to have 10 inches by monday... I might make changes to the front to had buttons, I'm still not sure.

Updating the knit

I'm back! We were in vacation in Vancouver, absolutely loved it! Pictures to come. I'm now on Ravelry, id Croquette.

Knitting wise : I've finished my Drop Stitch Lace Tank from Fitted Knits and it is NOT a success! It is way too big for me (I could hide a pregnancy belly in there!) and the yarn is just not a good fit for the pattern. I don't love this on me that much so it is just going to be FROGGED! I'm currently knitting a pair of simple socks for my mom and a minimalist cardigan for my grandma's 80th birthday.

Pictures to come!
