Sad lack of blogging

Week 15: Beginning to be obvious, originally uploaded by Mrs. Jeffrye.

I'm pregnant (yay) and studying for the bar (boo). I don't have time to knit until August, when you will start seeing lots of baby things. I hope!

Yay! New swift and ball winder. After an epic hand ball-winding experience preparing for Tempest, I decided it was really time to buy a ball winder. And since the swift was on sale too, I got one of those. How much time did I waste winding balls? Now I don't have to do it any more! So wonderful.

Finished!

I finally finished something! It's been a big break in projects for me, but I'm glad to have finally finished my Wicked sweater. It's wicked awesome.

Next up should be something yellow - I just got back from Stitches West and got a bunch of yarn (see my Ravelry Queue), and I also got a bunch more sock yarn, which I am excited to use. I think I may need new needles though, I'm not sure.

I finally finished something! This is super pretty and works really well. I completely made up the pattern as I went, which was kind of liberating and entertaining. I'm excited that I'm a good enough knitter to make it up!

Wow! Long time no knit

I know - it's been a long time since I last posted. Unfortunately, I've been super busy (darn law school + moving), and haven't been knitting at all. But I've been picking up the needles recently, since classes ended, and I'm hoping to post about my projects as soon as I get my camera

Finally finished something! This darn thing is going to be awkward to wear till I find a good tank to wear under it - it is VERY low in front. But I like it too.

to frog or not to frog?

to frog or not to frog, originally uploaded by Mrs. Jeffrye.

that is the question. i tried this on after i joined the armholes, and it seemed a little tight around the armpit, which would defeat the purpose of a cool tank top. i kept knitting anyway, and then i thought about it, and i think i won't like the shirt if it's really tight at the armpits, and i probably messed up by not making the front long enough. so i think i'm going to frog and start over. in fact, i think i'm going to make an xs, so it'll be less booby-tastic.

i'm kind of sad that i didn't finish it, and i'm trying to decide if i should take it with us to north carolina. i guess i could knit it on the plane.
