I will take pictures tomorrow. <br /><br />The hat turned out too tall, even though I knitted the smaller version, so next time I will try to eliminate some rows, probably the CC stripes. Also, I will try to make a hat where there is actually more <span style="font-style:italic;">contrast</span> between the MC and the CC. :P<br /><br />Good night. Or good morning, rather.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379677303447704793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650877701786845256.post-67511928620943817832007-07-11T20:18:00.000+02:002007-07-11T20:28:02.910+02:00Icarus AgainCast on for Icarus again. Hopefully, I'll be more successful with it this time around.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I've been knitting quite a few different things. I finished a pair of <a href="http://magknits.com/Sept05/patterns/jaywalker.htm">Jaywalkers</a>, <a href="http://www.marniemaclean.com/patterns/killlerpompom/index.html">Attack of the Killer Pom-Pom Hat</a> (minus the pom-pom), a pair of <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTdashing.html">Dashing</a> and a pair of <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTknucks.html">Knucks</a> that I finished today. See the pictures <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlotte-rasmussen/sets/72057594126027739/">here</a>.<br /><br />I also still have a few things on the needles.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379677303447704793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650877701786845256.post-69589340145955273962007-07-04T16:28:00.000+02:002007-07-04T16:34:27.794+02:00DashingI finished the <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTdashing.html">Dashing</a> Fingerless gloves for a friend of mine. If you thought knitting with DPNs was horrible, try knitting with DPNs <i>and</i> make cables. No fun. No fun at all. I need to practise this technique, I'm just not very satisfied with the restult. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3fr_0zVtT5U/RouvLw2DqII/AAAAAAAAAAM/LxaQJ5H6zco/s1600-h/dashing01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3fr_0zVtT5U/RouvLw2DqII/AAAAAAAAAAM/LxaQJ5H6zco/s320/dashing01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083349221042792578" /></a>Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379677303447704793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650877701786845256.post-3827591941725710642007-06-15T14:39:00.000+02:002007-06-15T14:41:51.314+02:00Icarus FallsI frogged the Icarus Shawl again. For the third or fourth time, I think. I keep ending up with either too many or too few stitches when I get to the repeats and I have no idea why or how. So... For now I'm going to try and finish the Jaywalkers I'm making for a friend and then see about trying this shawl again.Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379677303447704793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650877701786845256.post-27299116454924621322007-06-14T19:20:00.000+02:002007-06-14T19:24:52.507+02:00Knitting Blog, take twoWell, I'm reminded why I'm just a big fan of Blogger. I had already set up a blog some time ago that I never used, but which proves impossible to make a new blog with the same email. So, <a href="http://knittingcomrade.blogspot.com/">Comrade Charlie Knits</a> is abandoned and The Knitting Comrade has arisen. Good thing I hadn't made too many posts on the other blog...Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379677303447704793noreply@blogger.com0
