FurrPurls: October 2009
http://furrpurls.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 12, 2009. Usually I wait until I’ve got some knitting progress before posting, but there’s no actual news of that kind right now. I do have some interesting things to talk about though. Important items first: Thank you to Suzanne and both Susan’s who left me such encouraging comments about PaintKnits TM! Also important: I had a new question from Stephanie on the Mermaid Fingerless Gloves Part 1. First vest, my own design. Love the yarn, hate the vest shaping. I should frog it from...Secon...

FurrPurls: March 2010
http://furrpurls.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. That’s the name of a sculpture by Roy McMakin in the Olympic Sculpture Park. In Seattle. When I visited the park after the RSC. Camp two years ago I thought it was interesting, but it wasn’t nearly one of my favorites. Recently it’s been in my mind a lot of the time. I guess I get it now. On the bright side, I have signed up for the first session of this year's RSC. Just so this post is not completely without pictures, let me throw in a couple of shots of the Escaping Squares vest...

FurrPurls: Extinction of the Dinosaurs
http://furrpurls.blogspot.com/2010/07/extinction-of-dinosaurs.html
Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Extinction of the Dinosaurs. You might ask what this topic has to do with knitting. My answer would have to be absolutely nothing. I’m still loving the Fish Coat, especially since it’s providing my most favorite kind of knitting. I can put my brain completely in park and just follow the pattern. The rhythm of the double knit stitches has gotten into my muscle memory so only the crazy fish color changes provide even the mildest challenge. Obviously the extinction of the dinosaurs.

FurrPurls: Swatch Success
http://furrpurls.blogspot.com/2009/09/swatch-success.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. With my blocking activities caught up I’ve jumped back on my double knit vest, the one I’m designing to show off controlled pooling. (I’ve got to come up with a good name for this project! At last report I had laid out a pattern in PaintKnits TM that really showed off the yarn colors in pooling plaid. (See the screen dump in my post from August 9, 2009. The more difficult task was to swatch double knitting in a consistent gage. Here’s the bright side of the swatch, ( BMFA.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010. In Deep with Double Knitting. Let me start by saying thank you to Susan for finding a full picture of the Love and Loss sculpture picture on the internet. Nice to see that it is as I remembered it. With so much time passing since my last post there had to be something happening in my knitting world. Here’s what I’ve got:. The Escaping Squares Vest is finished! I actually finished it late at night while hanging out with Susan from WormSoup. I’m calling the experiment a succes...

FurrPurls: January 2008
http://furrpurls.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 12, 2008. Can this Year be Different? I've never been big on formal New Year's resolutions, but there's a part of me that can't resist the urge to effect change in my existence starting with the change over to a new year. This year I'm going to admit that there are definitely changes that need to be made and I will risk public failure by admitting them here. You can be witness to how well I do. 3 I want to enjoy more of the technology of the on-line knitting world. My Ravelry. Doubtful,...
