River Along: October 2005 Archives
Done!
- Anmiryam is thrilled to get this one off the needles.
- Cambria is done too. When do we get to see a pic?
- Ev finished as well. Judging by her pic I think she did over 20 repeats!
- Kate is done too, and looks great in her pic with a matching top.
Getting Started
- Marisa cast on and is wondering if she'll be able to add any repeats and still do the knot. Those of you who used KSH and knit the knot, did you have any leftover?
As for me, I have 14 or 15 repeats done.
Knitting this on US 8's instead of 10.5's makes for a lot more repeats! Here's another shot showing its full length. It's about 2/3rds the length of my couch now -- and that's unblocked!
Even though it's so long I keep on knitting because I hate leaving a mini-ball of yarn at the end of a project. I can't seem to throw it out, and yet there's virtually no use for it! I can probably do another 3 or 4 repeats but I've lost steam. Now that it's getting cooler I'll probably pick this up again soon (nothing like actually being able to wear a project to motivate you to finish it up!)
And finally, if you asked to join recently and I haven't added you to the sidebar please let me know. I've been trying to keep up but I'm pretty sure I missed a few of you!
We have some FOs this week!
Brenda finished her beautiful white river!
Diana finished up her longer version and includes some great pattern notes.
Melissa finished a couple weeks back but somehow I missed her post! She used Kid Silk Night and shares her thoughts on how it worked up.
What to do?
A couple KALers our there want our input:
Kate is trying to decide if she's knit enough.
Kellee has ripped again and is trying to decide what needle size to use this go round.
Casting On
Nancy cast on this week with the blue shade of Kid Silk Spray. She has a nice closeup of the slightly variegated look this yarn is giving her River. Very pretty!
Need a Raft?
A couple of your fellow KALers have emailed me saying how frustrated they are with this project.
Jacqueline has ripped several times and is wondering why River is causing so many problems (she knit Birch just fine!)
Jackie is also not feeling the love and is unsure of her color.
