It's 'cast', people. Cast, cast, cast. Present, past and participle. There's no such word as casted. No, you haven't 'casted on' 20 stitches, you've cast! on 20 stitches. Go, read a book.
Man, I hate acquiring new pet peeves. I'll be back to my usual sunny self soon, I promise.
It’s the Knitting Guild’s vendors night next Monday, and I really needed to expand my sales stash. So, I dyed sock yarn all day. A series of yummy, cheerful, pastelly colors, I’ll be calling ‘gelato’. Now, to find fitting ice cream flavors for all the colors. ;o)
This is what I made.
Dyed some yarn recently and swore this time I wouldn’t forget to take pictures before it goes out the door. These are all dyed with food-safe dyes and mordanted with citric acid:
The yarn is a fingering weight sock yarn (92% wool, 8% acrylic).
I won, I won. I won the Tudor Ruffles pattern. *snoopy dance*
*hrmp* Sorry. You may continue with your day now.
Since I’m still sick I started the socks for the mama she requested (and brought me the yarn for). Finished the foot on the first one and will begin the cuff tomorrow.
Being installed in the couch corner with tea and big socks gives me unexpected knitting time, so I finished one of Natalie‘s designs early. (Can’t say more, ’cause it’s a gift.) This was a challenge to be finished by the end of the month. If I’m lucky I might win one of her patterns that I’ve coveted ever since I saw her prototype.
Called the store about the damaged tank, and they said they’d hold the only other one in the store for me to do an exchange, and ‘very sorry’. You better … Marg will provide transportation again sometime next week. Yay! And we’ll go shopping for Christmas presents and yummies. Double yay! I decided to knit her a little thank you shawlette, and I’ve got the perfect yarn for it.
Our Sunday morning stitch’n’bitch is looking for new digs, since the groups is outgrowing the Starbucks very fast. We tried the Second Cup down the road from my place this morning, and peeps seemed quite taken with it. That would be an awesome meeting place for me, perfect biking distance, and even walkable in a pinch and when it’s not raining cats and dogs.
The new beginners crochet class starts on February 13th; it’s a 4-weeks workshop of two hours each. Sign up at the Yarn Forward in Kanata.
