Projects.  
Brasington's Ninth Law: A carelessly planned project takes three times longer to complete than expected; a carefully planned one will take only twice as long.

This is a list of the sewing, knitting and crocheting projects currently being created with pointy things. Also - those I wish to create and those with materials currently in line. I'll add it as a memory and link to it in my profile, so it will be updated as I make progress. If you want to see a completed project or a photo of the planned project, click on the name of the project. For completed project, this link will go to an entry with photos and project details.

Whoop!

Feels good to copy, yow!

Oh, god - I'm looking at a *bunch* of Christmas knitting - luckily it's all scarves, with a couple of hats and gloves thrown in. It's gonna be like the ironman of Christmas knitting.

I can't wait! Looks like my other projects are going on the backburner, though. I'm going to try to finish my DNA scarf and Lollipop socks this weekend, then do the Christmas knitting. And if everyone's stuff isn't done in time, I'll just fall back on purchased gifts.

It started snowing today so I think I may have to detour from my Christmas projects and make at least a hat for myself!
Caitlin Veronica Krause[info]caitfish on November 14th, 2003 12:15 am (UTC)
Go you! What kind of hat?
Persephone: Crochet[info]pers on November 14th, 2003 12:26 am (UTC)
I have some chenille Thick n' Quick and a P hook so I'm just going to whip up a very basic hat in the round. The pattern is from the yarn wrapper.

Hey, this is Paul's girlfriend Julia. I saw the link on your LJ here to the DNA scarf and now I'm knitting one for Paul. It's such a cool design! Thanks for posting the link to it. :)
Caitlin Veronica Krause[info]caitfish on February 4th, 2005 10:03 pm (UTC)
Awesome! I'm so glad that you found it - I love that pattern.
Miss J: Traditional Things[info]deepspacestyle on March 28th, 2005 11:01 pm (UTC)
Hey, it's Julia again here. :) I was looking at your works in progress and that Kyoto one is so cute! I seem to find neat patterns through your LiveJournal all the time, maybe I'll think about making this one too.

I wanted to tell you, since you said you're making a Kyoto sweater, that the pattern has the way you cross the front two flaps backwards. The pictures on the pattern have it right-over-left and (if you're trying to make it look authentically kimono-like) it should be left-over-right. I hope that makes sense. o.@ Anyway, the only reason I mention it is because once I wore my yukata right-over-left and my host mom freaked out because that's only done when they put corpses in kimono. Maybe you know that already, but I thought I'd let you know. ^_^
