Daves Knitting Blog

Hello everyone,

Last week I started a new project, the raverly project name is “Dr. Horrible Wristers“.  They are an attempt to create the fingerless gloves that penny wore during the begining of the 2nd act of Dr Horribles Sing Along Blog.

So far, I’ve gotten the left side almost all done, except for the thumb hole, the button hole strip and I need to still bind off the stitches.

I did find that during this project I was knitting actually pretty fast for this one, the stitches weren’t all that tight, I think I’m getting better at that..

I’m extremly confused with the bind off, and am looking for help on that one..

I also have attached some pictures for after I completed the last Rib row on the piece.

You can follow my progress, on this page.

Well the flood took many things from us, most of us.. houses..

Harmony Needles

For me.. I lost all my straight needles.. So  I’ve been in the search for some new ones, and found these nice 10″ straight wood sets from KnitPicks.  They look like a good deal, still looking around.. if anyone knows of more sets, let me know!!

Hello everyone..

I figure, now that our house is mostly done and we have pretty much recovered from the flood, that I would try to get back into my knitting hobby.

The only problem I’m having is finding all my kneedles.. Many of them were under water.. I lost ALOT.. I have I think one or two of my interchangeable, but none of my straights, which means I need to buy lots more.

All my old needles were aluminium, but I’m planning on replacing them all with bamboo.. I really liek the bamboos and I think they will work with me better.

My first project back (I have a coupel actually) will most likely be this pattern from over at Ravelry for my daughter.. And I’m also thinking of the Jayne Cobb hat, cause it’s neat.

I’m also trying to get back into my life over at Knitting Help and some other forums.. We’ll see how that goes..

Hope to see you all on the other side of the needles.
