Knitting and other Creative Endeavors

Prudence · 03-10-2006, 12:09 PM

I've been knitting since I was in jr. high. Not the same item, of course. I used to wear sweaters I'd made for myself. I like to think that I'm not so much uncool as lightyears ahead of the trends.

Currently, my in-progress projects are:

1) light sage green baby afghan that is completed except for the fringe, which is partially done.

2) white baby afghan which is about 1/4 of the way done.

3) red wool knee-length socks based on some extant 16th century Italian socks. Still on the top foldover bit.

4) cross-stitch of an angel that is part of a series. Christmas angels. I've done about half of them, but I have a bunch left to do. (Thank goodness the series finally ended so I can catch up.) About 1/5 of the way done.

5) Italian camica (chemise) that is assembled but still needs some seams finished and needs the neck band put on. Which is where it's been sitting because I haven't decided what I want to do with that, but I think I have enough evidence of smocking that I want to try that.

That's only the projects I've actually started. The pending projects? We have three bedrooms. One we sleep in, one we work in, and one devoted to my craft projects.

The secret's out - Prudence, domestic goddess.

I am so jealous NA.
After trying to knit for over a year, I finally gave in and decided to learn to crochet.
I need a class!!!!!! Of course, I continental knit as well, and that makes it worse for other people.

I wish I could say that I had a project.
