Knitwhim Diaries 15 : Doomsday

Hey guys! Here is a new episode! Sorry the audio is funky, I have to talk to my tech consultant and try to trouble shoot what happened. Hopefully it's not too distracting :)

Knitwhim Episode 13 : The World May Be Ending

Hello everyone!  Pardon the delay, (and my bad hair! That's why I'm wearing a hat! )
I've had a weird week of ice, snow, and earthquakes!

Fortunately not being able to go to work means lots of knitting and spinning!

A Year in Review 2013

I finished a total of  20 projects in 2013!
3 of them were Crocheted.
I frogged 2 projects.
I have 4 WIPS that are rolling over into 2014 and one pesky WIP still left over from 2012!

My main knitting resolution for 2013 was to knit lots of lace. I did!  I finished five lace shawls last year:

Damask
Los Lirios
Crooked Cathedral
Bramble
Juneberry

My knitting resolution for 2014... Sweaters that fit AND are not too itchy to wear! We'll see what happens :) 

I also hit spinning hard this past year. I bought a spinning wheel and spun almost 2 pounds of fiber. Pretty proud of my progress so far.


What are your knitting goals for this year?

FIBERFEST FUN!!!

Hey Everyone! How are you?  I'm good, still recovering from all the wool fumes from Sunday!

My newest Vlog Episode is live; In it I talk all about the festival and my plans for Nerd Wars in October. Check it out!
If you don't want to listen, no big, I'll hit the important highlights here:

Amanda and I went to the Georgia Alpaca FiberFest on Sunday. It was Awesome.


First there was the completely worth it 1 hour detour for Pumpkin Spice Lattes. 



Everyone at the festival was super friendly and eager to teach new skills. We got to try weaving for the first time. Can you say hooked? 




My humble little stash from the event. A few ounces of silk and alpaca. I CAN'T WAIT to start spinning it!!

WIP Something

Hello everyone!
Hope you are doing well. It's pretty hot here, and I really didn't get a whole lot of knitting done... my WIPs look pretty much the same as last week. And thats even though I had a glorious day of crafting with a friend on Tuesday. I got three whole rows done on my shawl since last week :)



My Copy of Ply Magazine came in the mail on friday and I've been reading through that. If you are interested in spinning I highly recommend it! I've been reading it cover-to-cover and I'm about halfway through. I've really enjoyed some of the articles about the history of spinning, and there is an article about the first cloned sheep, and all sorts of other cutes things ^^;;

Also, I've done a second post of my video blog. It's still a major work in progress. It's about 20 minutes long so if you have time please check it out. I'd like to hear from you!
But if WIPs are the only thing you care about, no hard feelings if you just hang out at Tami's  :)

WIP - New Things

Hello!

So, I'm finally back from my honeymoon (yay!) and have got my work schedule ironed out. Hopefully for good. For a brief second there I thought I was going to be working a night shift, and that would have been a nightmare for me right now. Dodged that one.
there are LOTS of works in progress today, so we'll just sample a few, shall we?

First up. I bought  a spinning wheel! - But it's back ordered, so it's a shipping WIP :P

Next, I am experimenting with doing a knitting vlog! If you are interested please check it out here.  Its about 30 minutes long and I'm not going to lie, it's a bit rough. I'm having some tech issues so there is one section where every other word I say seems to get skipped, but I'm pushing through! I know if I can endure *that* humiliation I might have skin thick enough to keep it up :)

Ok. Now for the knitting.  Home Made Glove pattern :



(there will also be a blue stripe added as I continue ^^;; )


New Lace Shawl in Berroco Vintage DK, The pattern is Damask





That's all for now, Hopefully there will be some FO's later this week :)
If you want to see more WIPS, check out Tami's!
