Baltimore Explorations

Jackie — Sat, 01 May 2010 04:06:05 +0000

Today we explored Baltimore. Here’s the cliff notes version:

We hopped in the monster SUV (now cakked the SS K 'cause it's a boat)

I found a squirrel angel that I liked a lot.

I took a self portrait.

We encountered the sea monster of Baltimore.

I had cake for lunch.

I started the Woodland Spring Shawl

My vest got drier by the lobby fireplace.

And we stuffed goody bags!

And there’s heaps more pictures on my Flickr page, in the Baltimore set. :) Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I took a nap yesterday afternoon and today. I think I’m going to have to caffeinated to get through tomorrow alive.

Finished Object!

I sewed in the ends of Bit’s dress yesterday. Now it just needs buttons and it’s good to go for her 1st birthday next week!

My knitting matched my outfit today. I felt very accomplished.

The New Vogue Knitting Is Here!!!!

Okay, so those of you that know me, know that I’m usually more of an Interweave Knits kinda girl. I’ve never really found the things in Vogue to be practical for me. However, one of the owners of my favorite LYS, Brooke Nico, has a gorgeous patten that got published in the Spring/Summer 2010 issue. And to help promote the buzz, they hired me to design an ad for their shop to get in this issue.

This morning, it was dropped at my desk via Rachel, as it was brought to knitting last night, but I wasn’t there:

The Kirkwood Ad!

I’m so excited to see it in print. :D I feel famous, even though my name is no where in the ad. Though, Bob says this makes me “ninja famous” – and I’m totally going to run with that.

Ravelympics Progress

Super slow going. Turns out you have to knit something to finish it.

What Pattern?

Jackie — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:07:44 +0000

Today was the CO for the Ravelympics. I spent most of the time editing a pattern that may or may not have been perfectly fine already. (Shocking.)

Re-write.

Haven’t knit a stitch.

Finished 1UP

I hate Windows.

Today was a painful day at work. The server was down pretty much the entire day. I think I got 30 minutes worth of work in, because everything relies of the computer. (sigh)

In happier news, the mushroom was completed and gifted today! Here are the shots:

Spots!!!!

It was very well received. I’m hoping to knit another this weekend, and then have some test knitters run through it in hopes to have the pattern up by the end of the month. :)

Shaping Up

Yay! It’s looking like a mushroom!

I’m writing my 1st ever pattern this week. It’s going to be a 1UP mushroom from Super Mario. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
