Knit it Up: Round we go...
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2008/03/round-we-go.html
Thursday, March 13, 2008. I've been thinking. Knitting in the round produces results, but I don't think that it is really my thing. I know I've mentioned this in passing before, but this time I'm serious. I made a pair of Fetching Fingerless Gloves. For Beth, which I knit on double-pointed needles. And I've just finished my own fingerless gloves. Mine were going to be Dashing. I'm with Stephanie Pearl-McPhee on this one. But it just takes longer! Are you one of the lovers of straight needles? Then you ca...

Knit it Up: Knitting on Demand
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2008/04/knitting-on-demand.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2008. First things first: yes, that was a picture of my wife in my last post, and yes, she is smoking hot. Now, on to business. I've been knitting quite a lot recently. Of course, I've had to squeeze it into the commutes when I don't take Adelaide to Grandma's house in the car, and into lunch breaks, but I've found myself on a bit of a roll anyway. There's been a bit more time at home too, because my little treasure of a daughter is sleeping a little more consistently now. I'm still fi...

Knit it Up: Intermission.
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2009/10/intermission.html
Monday, October 5, 2009. Well, the Beard Hat has been moving along at a slower pace than I really wanted. I got all the stuff together that I needed - planned out what I was going to do, and knit the hat itself. I couldn't face starting the hat from scratch right away, so I took a little break to knit my daughter a hat for these cooler fall days. Now I need to work on a bigger version for Beth. Right, back to the Beard Hat. October 5, 2009 at 2:53 PM. October 5, 2009 at 3:49 PM. No no no, boys.I want...

Knit it Up: September 2010
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. I made these fingerless mitts last year. Originally, I'd planned to make another pair of Dashing. To replace the ones I lost. But when I finished the first, this idea struck me. The ribbing on the mitts really lends itself to the lettering. And of course, you can make them say anything you want. Beth's cousin saw this picture the other day, and asked me to knit her a pair. I decided to make hers using the Fetching. Hardcore. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

Saturday, October 9, 2010. I finished the True Glove fingerless mitts last week, and actually wrote out the pattern too! To view the PDF of the pattern. If you fancy knitting a pair, please take a picture and send it to me - especially if you come up with some fantastically clever or witty idea for the lettering. Thanks again to knitty.com.

Knit it Up: February 2008
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Things are a bit different around here now. I don't have as much time for knitting, that's for sure. But my daughter is incredible, so my lack of knitting time pales in comparison. Someone who had a little more time to get the needles moving is my mum. My parents visited the last couple of weeks, so that they could meet their granddaughter. I took them to Romni. If you remember, I told you the story of this hat. I had bought it in Whitby, North Yorkshire. Nontheless, when I fi...

Knit it Up: March 2008
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. I Know What I Said, But. Look I'm aware of the fact that I've said I don't like knitting in the round. I've made my reasons clear, and I'm sticking to them. They are all valid arguments for sticking to long straight needles. But I can't stop! I'll knit something else soon, I'm sure. I'd better do, because these tiny sharp needles are starting to damage my hands. When I do, I'll make sure to let you know. Thursday, March 13, 2008. I made a pair of Fetching Fingerless Gloves.

Knit it Up: January 2008
http://ttcknitting.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 25, 2008. Well, I finished the TTC Subway Scarf. I do a lot of my knitting on the subway. Partly because I have about 2 hours on transit every day when I don't have much else to do. Also because I find it to be a really good environment for knitting in. There's something really fascinating about creating something in lots of different places - the finished product has been all over the city. Is sort of iconic for me. It's up there with the London Underground map. When I started this proje...
