Even though I had two pieces of knitting in the car, I didn’t do any knitting at all on the camping trip. Never got any true “recreation” time but that’s another story and it was still a good trip.
Though I was exhausted when we got back between 7 & 8pm Monday night, I got the [...]

Focused on plowing through the Icy Moon cowl as you must crochet the body first before any of the beaded edging.
Didn’t really work on anything else because I was also trying to get preparations done for the camping trip to Pinnacles.
 
Bound off on the body late Thursday night and set it aside.
I also worked on [...]

The Adara yarn from Elann came yesterday which means I could finally start the Ravelympics Grrlfriend Bag projects.
I casted on and got through the fiddly part. Perhaps it’s just me but Laura talks about it in the pattern itself too. It’s VERY hard to keep the DPNS (double pointed needles) from falling out after you’ve [...]

First off, to explain Ravelympics, you need to know that Ravelry is a fantastic community site for knitters and crocheters providing not only community boards for discussing our projects on but also a huge database of yarns and patterns for inspiration.
Ravelympics is an community wide event where people are making projects within the timeframe of [...]

So hard to catch these moments on camera but I got lucky…

Preface: This post ended up being an ongoing diary to myself about knitting Jayne hats for the CA Browncoats to sell at Comic Con 2008 in late July.

(started this post on a Monday – sorry don’t remember which)
Jayne #15 on the needles now. Bought more Mustard (yellow) yarn today since I’ve only teeny bit left [...]
