College Life=sucky knitting September 11, 2010

I am currently sitting in the Library, staring at the book I have to write a paper on. Instead of being smart and completing my homework now so I can enjoy my weekend, I am thinking about how little I have been knitting since I moved to college. It hasn’t completely been nonexistent but the [...]

Slowly But Surely July 27, 2010

Things are moving along slowly. I’m sure that some progress is being made but it is barely discernible. However avoidance is in full swing and there is plenty of progress with that. I have used my valuable knitting time to read lots and lots of books this month. Now normally that would be a good thing but [...]

Notices a Food and Socks Theme July 20, 2010

My intended focus for my knitting was to finish at least one blanket for my dorm room before I leave for school. I have the Modern Log Cabin Blanket in Dream in Color on its last ginormous square and a blanket of my own design working that is intended to commemorate my highschool drama experiences in Patons Classic [...]

Growing June 29, 2010

Socks for Linda. Originally uploaded by fiberelf91 I have thought more and more about how I either pick projects to knit that I will never wear OR I will make a mistake but be too lazy to fix it/ rush through the project thus rendering it unwearable. SO i have gone through my UFO’s and [...]

Not Gonna Talk About It April 26, 2010

Heyyy, i guess my New Years Resolution didn’t go to well huh? But im not gonna talk about that. Moving on… Lots of knitting being done. I am trying to make one old project and mix it with a new one. A couple of old socks have been finished and a sweater for fall has [...]

New Year Glow January 25, 2010

Okay… I am back after about 7 months of silence and only slightly worse for the wear. Sadly knitting like this blog has kind of taken a back seat in my life. Not any were as bad as the blog though. I still knit on a regular basis but in the after glow of christmas [...]

The lack of blogging ability June 22, 2009

And yet again the fiberelf proves her lack of skill in remembering to blog. Lots of knitting projects and major life events (okay maybe not major but events nonetheless) have come and gone and yet the blog still remains ignorant and uninformed to the progress of life. So here is the best recap I can [...]

Spiderweb of issues April 10, 2009

Last summer in an attempt for a quick, easy and feminine project i cast on The Spiderweb Capelet from Stitch ‘n’ bitch Nation. It was everything i was looking for in a project and the yarn i chose was divine and a heavenly experience to knit with. The yardage of the project dictated that i [...]

The Elf Wishes She Could Enjoy the Weather March 8, 2009

Presently the Elf has notices a very peculiar phenomenon that comes and goes rather quickly in New England. In a region where winter seems to last forever, fall is more of a preparation time for winter rather than a mild relief from summer, and summer beats down on us with ferocity, Spring is like a [...]

War of the Roses January 19, 2009

Currently I am unbelievably fascinated by the York and Lancaster Socks by Lisa Grossman. They are an interpretation on the War of the Roses and inspired by the play Richard the third. As it so happens I am currently costuming a production of Richard The Third. I am fantasizing about these gorgeous socks and how [...]
