Knitapalooza: Loose Ends

It’s been way too long since I posted one of these.  I keep thinking I want to wait until I have something finished to show (because everything I’ve been working on is sort of boring), and now I’m giving up on that.

First up is the linen wrap cardigan that I’ve been working on:

It’s made up of 5 rectangles of varying sizes (1 back, 2 fronts, and 2 sleeves), and I’m almost finished the last sleeve.  I would have been finished earlier this week, but I got carried away while knitting in the car on the way home from the beach (10 hours on the road will do that to you), and had to rip back because I knit too much!  Then I had to rip back a second time because I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough yarn left to sew the pieces together.  I think I’m good now.  Just have to put it together.

Next up:  My little Lace Ribbon scarf.  I’ve been knitting on this eveyrwhere I go this summer- Italy, Austin, algebra class, the orthondontist, the Vans Warped Tour concert, you name it.  I only have a little further to go, and then it’s done, but its not quite finished yet either.


To make up for the lack of knitting pictures, I guess I can add some gratuitous vacation photos.

I loved this sign on the coffee shop bulletin board in Ocracoke:

And check out the unexpected catch in CBtY’s crab trap:

That’s all of got.  What’s needling you?
