When you can't knit...bead!

Here's (hopefully) a clearer pic of the citrine/turquoise hoops and the peridot/coral drops I've made for Project Spectrum combining the April/May colors. So I guess I HAVE done some green work. Woohooo!

Both earrings utilize preexisting bases (the hoops and the silver drops) - the rest is my add on using fine gauge silver wire and beads.

While the Humans are away

The cats will play.

And play.

And then play some more.

Holding pattern

I'm in a holding pattern - projects started, nothing finished. Progress is measured in rows knit...make that 'row'. Yep, that's how slow it is here. Almost 2 months and no FO.

The Citrus Rib Shopping Bag is almost done except for adding the handles (which require a different sized ring to thread through the handles and the grommets on the bag.) Grommets? Not as much fun as I thought they would be - I think it has something to do with the dense rib I had to hammer through.

Lucy has not been out of the bag since I took her picture a few weeks ago. Maybe tonight.

And the scarf? Well, it's gonna be a car project for a while.

So Project Spectrum May comes and goes with nary a green touched. I see a pair of socks in June's future.

Persnickety and Matt ROCK!

Persnickety Knitter and Matt rock my casbah, baby! The progress bars are back and better than ever thanks to Java instead of flash.

Thank you sooooooo much for making this blogging fool happy again (And Matt, thank you for taking the extra effort to show me why punctuation marks can be my friends!)

Ayep, that's orange

Citrus Rib Purse - this is the front/bottom/back portion, one side panel is on the needles, and the Bernat Boa for the trim (and to give your eyes something to focus on).

What's wrong with this picture?

"How is Lucy", you ask?
Well here are her hems (sans picked up seed stitch border.)

And then there is the top of her panels. I guess I was in such a rush to finish her by Easter (yes, I can hear you cackling. I'll wait til you are finished), I really didn't check the length of her panels very well. As you can see, there's some 'splaining (and fixing to do).

And did I say Easter? I meant Memorial Day.

Current Car Project

Dropstitch Scarf in the Burgundy Alpaca Cone That Will Not Die. I've offset the 'holey-ness' of the scarf by making it wider - since the yarn is so lightweight, it can be wrapped several times around the neck without a lot of bulk.

A whole lot prettier than the knitting situation

It's dang dismal on the knitting front, so here's some Vermit pretty in
May's Project Spectrum Green -

Non - Progress Bars

It's so sad. My little progress bars have disappeared. Long story ... the short version is the server where I stored the link is no longer active and I can't find any way to access the file to save it somewhere else.

I loved my little progress bars - changing their colors to match the WIP, seeing the increments grow...

*sigh*

Got any ideas?
