I finished the cardigan…although I’m not sure if I did the shawl collar right the second time around (I know I definitely got it all wrong the first time). Here it is, blocking:
And this is what it looks like on:
Pattern: on Ravelry. Yarn: Cascade 220. Needles: US7. Mods: I added an inch to the [...]

I was this close to finishing my sweater…but I messed up the short rows on the collar, ugh, I get so confused with wrapped stitches! I couldn’t do it by following the instructions, so I looked it up in “Finishing Techniques for Knitters” but apparently I was still confused. I kept going, hoping for the [...]

I had something to prove to myself. I proved it.
I’m fully capable of doing this on my own. Okay, 99% capable. .5% for the campground hostess who took pity on me after watching me struggle to back the thing into the campsite and she helped me out. Note to self: Find campgrounds with [...]

I discovered that I don’t really like this type of joining the sleeves to the sweater body deal…it’s kind of awkward trying to knit it, in the beginning. I’ve got enough raglan decreases done now though, so it’s not as awkward to [...]

I met up with my family at the Richmond Fall Festival this past weekend. I can’t say much for the city of Richmond itself – it looks like its in such a dilapidated state, it’s actually sad, it being the state’s capitol and all that…but anyway, the google map directions I had were WRONG and [...]

Puppy pics and then I’m going to bed. I woke up at 4am this morning for a training run, full day at work, then knitting group meeting tonight. I am beat!
At knitting group tonight I learned that I should always plan to have more yarn than I think I’ll need. If in doubt, bring more [...]
That’s how many days are left until the race.
I’ve just finished up Week 5 of training, so I get to cross it off. Time to set the new training intervals on my watch.
