A blog about my life, knitting, and other stuff.

Knitalong Whore

This is what a friend called me the other day. It sounds wretched but, yeah, it's true. I have recently joined knitalongs for the Flower Basket Shawl, Recycling, Monster Slippers, Mariah (don't know if I'm going to knit it), Jacqueline Fee's Sweater Workshop Thing (just got the book yesterday), Greenalong, Scarf Style and Alison's Sockapalooza! What's wrong with me?

I'm still waffling on the yarn for the Flower Basket Shawl. I have some Elann yarn that might work. I was going to order some of the Baby Cashmere at Elann but while I was decided it sold out!

For the Recycling Knitalong, I will finally sew something together from the bag of felted thrift store sweaters that's been in my craft closet for over a year. I may also refashion an old sweater.

I finally finished the monster slippers on Saturday. I couldn't find the hot glue gun so good old Elmer's will have to do for now.


I have picked out a pattern and bought the yarn for Sockapalooza.

I am double-dipping on the Greenalong and the Scarf Style knitalong by making a Backyard Leaves scarf in green. But everything else I'm knitting is green too so I'm not really cheating.
