You Want Knitting? I’ll Give Ya Knitting!

January 25, 2006 By Carole

I had someone tell me recently that I didn’t include enough knitting content in my knitting blog. Hunh. You guys know I knit every day, right? It would be news if I didn’t knit, so please go ahead and assume that I’m knitting, even if I’m not saying.

What? You want proof? Alright, then.

Here we have a finished red scarf for the Red Scarf Project. I used the pattern from Odd Ball Knitting and all my red leftovers. Red’s my favorite color, so just happened to have some red yarn lying around.

You want more? Alright, then.

Here we have two progress shots on the Diamond Fantasy Shawl. Looking good, no?

There will be more knitting shots tomorrow. Sheesh.

    Gorgeous shawl!! Mine had to be frogged. I wasn’t paying enough attention and some of the stitched slipped of the needles and then were gone. Luckily I wasn’t that far along yet.

    Love the red. The Diamond Fantasy Shawl is divine!

    I can’t believe you thought that scarf was bogus. It looks fantastic.

  5. Kate says

    January 25, 2006 at 4:12 pm

    The shawl is gorgeous!

    You know…..you’d show more knitting if you were not so…well, you know, empty in your life!
    hahahah!
    ONLY KIDDING PEOPLE! It’s a joke!
    ~Don’t want to tick off the Carole fans! Of which I am the biggest one!
    🙂
    xo
    LOVE The red scarf! Someone will be lucky to have that!
    And the shawl? GIRL?! You are impressive!

    January 25, 2006 at 4:32 pm

    Oohhh! I just got that Oddball Knitting book and I love your scarf!

  8. sarah b says

    I like the scarf a lot! The colors go great together!

    Hey, I have a link on my blog to some unique yarns spun by a local person here in SLC if any of your knitalongers are looking to accumulate more stash.

    And I adore that red scarf. Yum!

  10. margene says

    January 25, 2006 at 5:01 pm

    Why am I always the last to know you’ve posted? Must not spend as much time on Bloglines as I should.
    DFS is GORGEOUS….do you hear me? GORGEOUS! Oh and I can vouch for the stuff Susan is pushing. It’s addicting!

  11. Chris says

    January 25, 2006 at 5:01 pm

    Not enough knitting? Hmm, I never noticed – guess I was just having too much fun! Now I’ll have to keep on you about that… but then, you might notice all the distractors I include on my blog to hide the fact that I’m not knitting and get on me about that… hmm. Never mind! The scarf is ultra cool!

  12. Laurie says

    January 25, 2006 at 5:35 pm

    Love the scarf! I’m going to do an end to end something or other from some stash yarn soon. I really like that look.

    DFS is quite striking. Lovely.

  13. Kerstin says

    January 25, 2006 at 5:36 pm

    You know, it’s those kind of comments that really hit hard. Don’t let ’em get you down, Carole. And don’t knit for anyone but yourself. The people who complain won’t stick around anyway … and why would you want them to?

    You know, I’m a big fan of the garter scarfs and the shawl is beautiful. Now go do whatever the heck you want. 🙂

  14. Becky says

    January 25, 2006 at 5:52 pm

    OMG I want to STEAL both of those! Especially the scarf, no wait, the shawl… dangit… both i guess!

  15. PumpkinMama says

    January 25, 2006 at 5:59 pm

    The scarf is just lovely! I love the lenghtwise ones. Nice to see how the DFS is progressing!

  16. Betty says

    January 25, 2006 at 6:22 pm

    Not enough knitting content? What’s up with that?!?!?!? You got plenty of knitting content.

    Me… not so much. Maybe in a day or to…

  17. pallie says

    January 25, 2006 at 6:28 pm

    Very, very nice!

  18. Kathy says

    January 25, 2006 at 6:28 pm

    Gorg. Do tell about the shawl yarn — love it! And I can’t ever believe that you thought the scarf was not great — it’s fantastic!

  19. Jess says

    January 25, 2006 at 7:28 pm

    oh dayum you are waaaaay ahead of me on the DFS – I better get crackin’!!

  20. Beth S. says

    January 25, 2006 at 7:56 pm

    I like ’em both! (‘Specially the scarf. Great colors!)

  21. Dave Daniels says

    January 25, 2006 at 8:11 pm

    You knit? Shit, I didn”t know. I thought you were the entertainment director on a cruise ship.
    Nice scarf!

  22. Norma says

    January 25, 2006 at 8:49 pm

    LOL at Dave’s comment. What a pri….prince. That’s not what I was originally going to write, but this is a family blog, I spoze.

    May I just shout to you: I LOVE THAT RED SCARF. In fact, I kind of want you to send it to me instead of the foster kids, but that just wouldn’t be right.

    Meh, the shawl? I can take it or leave it. (heeeeee, kidding!!!)

  23. heather says

    January 25, 2006 at 8:57 pm

    What a great scarf! I’m loving it!

    Your shawl is looking SUPER too, and ya know, I didn’t even notice you haven’t been talking about knitting. I always leave here totally high on some sort of fiberish topic, completely satisfied. 😉

    Inhaling once more before I move on…..

  24. --Deb says

    January 25, 2006 at 10:40 pm

    The shawl looks beautiful!

  25. maggie says

    January 26, 2006 at 1:00 am

    I’m loving the red too…just traded some navy blue roving for some RED roving from Martha on Sunday. The shaw is beautiful…wish I had the courage to try one.

  26. elisa says

    January 26, 2006 at 8:14 am

    The scarf is great and the shawl is gorgeous!

    Okay, enough knitting – now let’s hear more about you… 😉

  27. Cheryl says

    January 26, 2006 at 10:03 am

    Whoah, too much knitting content! Let’s have some spinning!

    Kidding of course. That Diamond fantasy shawl looks great. It wasn’t my choice back when you had the voting, but I’m on board now that I see it. Good choice!

  28. Elisabeth says

    January 26, 2006 at 11:33 am

    What? You’re supposed to write about knitting on knitting blogs? Hunh. Well, okay….. *makes note to self*

    Personally, my favorite blogs focus on life with knitting, not knitting life. But I’m a science geek who has to live vicariously through other people because I’m stuck in lab all the time. 🙂

  29. Heather says

    January 26, 2006 at 1:25 pm

    Well, if you have citics, it must mean you’re FAMOUS!!

    Love your Red Scarf!! Knitting content, not knitting content, whatever… I like your blog just the way you are! ; )

  32. mamacate says

    January 26, 2006 at 3:51 pm

    That’s one lucky kid who gets that scarf!

    Nice DFS…can’t wait to see you wearing it.

    Cruise director, huh? Maybe on a yarn-shaped…boat? You talk about whatever you damn well please.

  33. Kim says

    January 26, 2006 at 7:01 pm

    but when you do give us knitting pictures they are wonderful! I love the scarf!!

  34. Snow says

    January 26, 2006 at 7:05 pm

    I love your scarf and your DFS in progress!

    I get emails all the time, complaining that I’m not a “proper” knitting blog because I go on about so many other things, but I blogged for nearly two solid years before I posted a word about my knitting, so I figure: who care? My blog. I’ll post what I wanna.
