http://ysolda.com/wordpress Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:00:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en At long last I can reveal to you why I went to Canada a few months ago. I decided, rather spontaneously, to take these 2 sweaters to Kate Gilbert for their photo shoot for the first issue of Twist Collective. The issue is now live, and my patterns are available ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/08/01/finally/ This morning I took a walk in the sun to pick up a parcel. It turned out to be a rather large box, with some adorable stickers on it. If you read half as many craft blogs as I do this will look pretty familiar, it was actually seeing this ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/07/24/need-to-sew/ Ice cream, bread, knitting and a sunny evening in the park. A shiny new iPhone means I can write this lying in the grass. http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/07/23/blogging-from-the-park/ I have a few pretty big adventures planned for the next few months and the first of them is coming up fast. In a couple of weeks I'm going to Oslo with my little (actually much bigger than me 17 year old) brother. So far all we've really planned out ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/07/14/oslo/ I took these a couple of days ago, on a little walk up Arthur's Seat the giant mammoth that dominates the Edinburgh skyline and provides a little countryside in the centre of the city. Back soon with more words, hopefully without another week long break. http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/07/11/eye-candy-friday/   I'm at work right now, which is fun since I work here, but I can't wait to get home tonight so I can unpin this.   This most definitely was not one of those magical projects where everything falls perfectly into place, but I think that the problems made it better in the ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/07/05/blocking/ Much as I liked the way the edging on the cherry shawl was turning out I couldn't knit fast enough to make this much yarn last for another 6 rows. Humph. It's ripped back and on the needles again - I think I'm happy with it and definitely in love ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/07/04/cant-knit-fast-enough/ And goodbye red Gretel. I'm rather sad to set this off on its long journey, I love it so, but you'll see it again in a little while somewhere rather exciting. Much to my surprise, since I hate the actual number, 22 has turned out to be a rather wonderful year ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/06/30/goodbye-june-goodbye-22/ I was working on one of the multiple versions of Liesl while I was staying with Amy in Toronto and she talked me into giving her a (somewhat confusing) draft of the pattern. We bought yarn together that evening at the charming Purple Purl, Amy got the Araucania Nature Cotton ... http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/06/27/liesl-now-with-more-amy/ It's up :) http://ysolda.com/wordpress/2008/06/25/liesl-pattern/
