I came home early from work after going by the doc's office for the usual "you are sick" diagnosis. I figured a good remedy would be to stop by Weaving Works on the way home. While there, I met a...

I'll quickly post these photos! LaJunieanne is coming right along (back to Order from Chaos!) The Triple-L (pesto-magpie) is progressing, but it's boring to look at once you've seen the first part, so I'm posting my second brain-dead knitting project,...

The nice neat progress pictures you've been seeing so far are the result of me taking the time to pin up the LaJ on my blocking board, smoothing out all the bumps and taking the photo. In real life, just...

The leaves are getting fuller! I am starting to name each leaf, more about that tomorrow. And the no-brainer project that I'm working on when I'm too tired for LaJ... I'm calling it "The Laurel-Linette" sweater because those two people...

Yesterday I worked hard on my graph. I got about 1/4 of it done, but enough to get me started. What a relief! No longer am I frustrated about colors, where the line of color ends as opposed to the...

My progress so far! I found that I really needed to have a color card. I used to cross-stitch quite a bit, and used the Lo-Ran card system to organize DMC floss. The Master Cards turned out to be the...

Not one stitch did I knit yesterday! Instead I spent my evening wining and dining with colleagues from Wisconsin-- not an unpleasant experience, but not knitting, either! I did manage to purchase size 10 wooden needles. Not really knowing which...

The hem of LaJ is knit in 18 rows of stockinette, using "mm", two strands of Donegal Lambswool Tweed, color 484 Bramble. Bramble is a gorgeous deep brown-plum tastefully blended with flecks of turquoise, gold, teal, fuchsia. It is difficult...

Here is a compilation of the swatching tips I received from my KBTH friends, which I tried to observe diligently. I'll likely end up using Crystal Palace bamboo needles instead of the Addi's I swatched with, because it was a...
Last night I took the collective wisdom of my fellow Asofians and, using Addi Turbos (because I didn't have size 10 Bamboos) I swatched using some Lightweight DK doubled, from my stash. The first attempt was chaos, but I saw...

I have renamed the Long Leaf Coat, it shall henceforth be known as "La Junieanne, the artist formerly known as Long Leaf", or La Junieanne for short. I realize the Real Junieann doesn't have an "e" at the end of...
