trying to graduate from stockinette

sampling. a nice grey wool from sweden paired with thinner ones in black,purple and dark blue to see which one looks best.card nº1 standard brother machine.if done fairisle style you get a gooseye texture in two colors.it is not easy to knit a sweater, at least for my skill level, with that set up.but as i need a gauge swatch i am using thyis to practice and gain confidence.then i'll decide. i hasve enough failed projects under my belt.

it is mind boggling how i can knit double bed jacquard  art pieces and how incapable i am of knitting a well fitting sweater.

if life were a pair of mitts

it would be peachy.two hours all together and i'm not a fast knitter.now i need to make a pair of cotton ones for the spring-summer season.vanity lives here. (￣ω￣ )

 it's been so long since i sat at the loom. with this kind of instant gratification it's not easy. i have to repair the present  mess at the loom and start weaving since i have some projects cooking.that loom has been stalled for an embarrasingly long period, occupied by a failed warp  which i dont' have the guts to trash since it's  silk dyed with natural dyes. i need courage.
