All Quiet on the Knitting Front
My hand had been causing me problems all last week. It's my tendonitis and I wasn't using the computer much, so I must have slept on it funny. Anyway, as hard as it was, just like any other obsessed addict, I stayed away from knitting and did not pick up my needles for about 10 days! Ai-yah! I'm sure other knitters out there can relate to the agony and pain of not knitting for 10 days. So my advice for you knitters out there is to use an ergonimic mouse and ask for one at work if you use it a lot in your job. That's how I ended up with the tendonitis. Owwie.
So at my knitting group on Wednesday, I picked up my needles and knitted some lace swatch samples (not worth photographing) for a few projects that I want to do. Yesterday, I resumed working on the Kitty hat I was making for my sister. It's part of a kitty accessories set for her. I already made her fingerless glove gauntlets with claws, per her request. I actually named the gloves "Catty" and submitted the pattern to Knitty. But alas, I was rejected with the response that although the pattern "is really fun but unfortunately not right for Knitty." I'm still not posting the photos yet though because I'm trying to see if there's another fun knitting pub that I can try submitting to. I don't think this is up MagKnits' alley. The option I'm leaning towards is just posting it on Craftster's forum and putting up the free pattern on this blog.
Project: This WIP is a modified version of the kitty hat from the Stitch n Bitch book.
Yarn: Manos del Uruguay, #108
Needles: Using 2 US 10 circulars (don't have a 16")
Another project that I worked on is a simple lace scarf for a former colleague. She requested a fuzzy pink scarf. I admitted my yarn snobbery and told her I don't work with fun fur novelty yarns, so this is what I came up with.
Project: Simple Keyhole lace scarf, my own pattern
Yarn: Knitted 2 stranded with 1 strand of hand-painted kid mohair, and 1 strand of hand-painted worsted weight merino wool.
Needles: US #15

the gloves sound super cute...despite what knitty says!
Sorry to hear that your hand has been bothering you. I hope it gets better soon. :(
The cat gloves sound fun! The hat and scarf both looks great. I can't wait to see your new projects at knitting this week!
