I finished the knitting for the Kureyon tote Wednesday evening. Here it is in all of its unfelted glory! I’m going to try to felt it this weekend, but it’s shaping up to be a busy one, so we’ll see.
I also made up and knitted a tie pattern…my mom knitted a dress, and had extra yarn, so I made a tie for my dad to wear. Of course, I don’t really expect that he’ll wear it, but I’ll take pictures and put the pattern up sometime soon.
I have serious “second sleeve syndrome”. Granted, I had to finish the wedding cross-stitch, but I’ve been “working” on the second Janda sleeve for almost a month now. (Well, it’s been traveling in my knitting bag, anyway.) I only managed to put about 20 rows on it at Sit & Knit last night. Grr. It’s just this sleeve, a hood, and a couple of seams away from being done. Time to crack the whip I think!
sleeves. i am what 1/3 of the way done w/ the lil beck sleeves? and now i have two ribbie sleeves to knit as well. oh boy.
Hi there, I’d like to know how you made the tie for your dad, I’ve been looking for a pattern to make a tie.

Thanks for the reminder – I meant to put this up ages ago!
