Camera is back!

Finally my camera is working again -- silly memory card.

Okay so here are the finished cascade longies -- they are drying now from being washed and lanolized :)


I also started the Cardinal Twist longies. Here is the waistband and the first row of the body. This yarn is a 4 ply twist, 2 plys are a beautiful red and the other 2 are a nice brownish gray -- my camera certainly does not do it justice!

Almost done :)

Fisrt I found this and was so excited. It says Leah Johnson but really she e-mailed it to the company those are longies I made out of 3ply purewool in the thunder colorway! So cool, even though it doesn't say my name but that is okay.

Okay the cascade longies are done and will be lanolized tomorrow. They came out great, but unfortunately I think my memory card is fried, it is totally empty but tells me it is full no matter what I do. I will buy another one tomorrow.

I also recieved yarn for two more customs today, can't wait to start those!

Rolling rolling rolling...

Well not rolling but going around and around :) The cascade longies are amost done just the cuff left. I would post a picture but for some reason my laptop won't let me download the movies that are on my digital memory card, and the card is presently full of movies. I am going to my parents this weekend and I know how to clean the card on their computer (it is much younger than my almost 7 year old ibook). As soon as I have the card fixed I will post a picture. They are looking great :)

Two legs are better than one

I am 1/3 done with the second leg and hopefully things will zip along now that everyone is over their colds. My oldest passed it back to my youngest so I've had another week of no sleep, but she seems much better tonight. I disinfected my house like a madwoman the last two days so I hope I have stopped the cycle, we'll see.

I will post a picture later tonight or tomorrow right now I am downloading all of the videos I have on it onto my computer.

I just wanted to leave a quick update so the mama didn't think I had dropped off the face of the earth :)

One leg down

One leg on the cascade longies is almost done I just have the rolled cuff to do and then I will start the other leg. Work has been slower than normal because now my oldest and my husband have the cold that my youngest and I had :) hopefully once they are well we are done with this cold!



On a side note the mama who ordered the XL peace fleece longies from me received them today and was very happy! I am so glad.

One leg breaking through...

Sorry no pictures tonight my digital camera is charging so it will be ready for an outing tomorrow :)

One leg is mostly done, I am going on a mystery quilting bus tour (no I don't quilt no matter how hard my mom tries to get me to) with my mom tomorrow so I will probably have plenty of time to knit and I should get the second leg mostly done. These are knitting up really nice. I imagine they will be done by Monday night and ready to ship on Thursday.

Following my dreams...

I really enjoy doing this longies, not only does it keep me from snacking at night while watching tv (busy hands) but I love all of the yarns, the mama's and the excitment of creating something for someone.

Here are the cascade longies I split for the legs tonight, I am trying a slightly new method for knitting the legs, I find that magic looping with the lighter weight worsted makes the legs look angular. I just ordered some 12" addi's for the legs -- hopefully I will get them soon. So forgive the tangle of circular needles the leg on the right is the one I am currently working on.
