Just have to finish up one last one - a 'hack' for TinCanKnits "hackathon2016". I'm turning the Sitka Spruce Hat into a cowl. Yarn is Heaven's Hand Wool Classic. Love how it's turning out, but the twisted stitches are killing my hands.
When it's done, I'm determined to knit my Sambuca that I started in the fall, and finish up my vest that has been WIP for over a year. Both will be great holiday projects for the upcoming Christmas vacation. Then, my Botanical Knits that I have queued up will be started!
Oh Sarah! You have been ever so busy! I like your idea of an 'accessories gift bin'. I must get organised to do that. Every year, I vow to start early with gift crafting and every year I get distracted with other things until it is suddenly October/November and time is pressing. Your finished projects are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to read about the effect the twisted stitches are having on your hands. The first knitting project I did after decades of no knitting ended up having all the stitches twisted without even trying or realising! Here I was feeling good that I had remembered how to knit when my knitter friend said, "Do you realise that you have twisted all the stitches?" and she was right. I was using a continental method to effortlessly twist stitches. Maybe that could be an option for you next time?
I have been busy but the gift bin pays off. I toss in small items all year, then when the holiday rush hits I have items to give that don't have to be a specific size. Thanks for the tip about twisted stitches. I will have to look up a video on continental knitting and give it a try... when my hands feel up to it!
