Resolution #9
I have made a few (late) new year’s resolutions. The first is to eliminate the contents of my gigantic WIP box. Due to my horrible knitter’s ADD, I sometimes finish half of a project and leave it untouched for years. It’s time to get things done! I recently finished a basic rib scarf I started about two years ago and gave it to a friend, Andrew. The yarn colorway is called “Rustic Rouge” (lol), reminds me of fall 
I’ve started working on Colorblock Pullover from the Winter 06/07 issue of Knit.1 Magazine. I had already finished the back, and I finished the front yesterday. I am two sleeves away from Victory!
In other knitting news, while using StumbleUpon I discovered Aslan Trends is having a knitting contest. The challenge is to make a unique and innovative design using their brand of yarn. There are two categories, large and small project, with a first prize of $350 cash ($250 for small) and 15 skeins of Aslan Trend yarn. More details about the contest and entry form is on the website. I was thinking of submitting a cable hat pattern, but I’m still unsure.
While I was catching up on my favorite knitting blogs, I noticed a post on Ysolda’s blog that is worth sharing. Please go read this post, as well as the link to the original post. Though I am not a knitwear designer myself, I appreciate the effort designers put into envisioning and then creating patterns for knitted items and feel they should be justly compensated.
Recently, my friend Peter has developed an interest in photography and I convinced him to take pictures of some of my knitting. I’m excited at the idea of my pieces actually being photographed well! My four year old digital camera does not do my craftiness justice (hee hee :3 ).
less bitching, more stitching,
