Sadly, I haven't really knitted much in the past year and a half. After the last post about Maddie, I picked up some needles and a pattern and was ready to go.
And then, if you click to my other blogs, Cancer knocked on my door. I haven't really blogged, read and reviewed books, or knit much at all in the last 18 months.
Chemo is about to start up again, so maybe it's about time I finish those adorable bear hoods for my friend and her daughter? Like, seriously...they should've been done in October. /facepalm
I'm down to one furbaby. Last year we lost our two remaining cats, Webbie and Gabby. Heart attack and stroke, respectively. Binky, my shihvanese, is the only one left and she is 13 years old. My heart hurts and twinges from time to time, but we still have Binky!
Hope all is well for whomever reads this. <3 Remember that life is short and you need to embrace the rainy days as well as the sunny days!

Knitting? What's that?
I have, not one, not two, not three, but FOUR WIPs sitting on needles, all in beginning stages.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a problem. >.> Just not enough time, etc. Well this is my 2015 resolution: carve out time for ME. That means time for reading, time for blogging, time for knitting, time for exercise, vacation, etc.
2015 is all about ME. Okay, and my niecelette who is due to be born around the end of February. :) I cannot wait to meet her!
In sad news, my darling Maddie, the sweetest little westie in the world, had to be put to sleep on December 7th. After months of medication and treatment, we finally reached that point where we had to do the humane thing as she was suffering.
The grief comes and goes. I was bereft when we took her over. I cuddled her and sang to her all her favorite songs. (I learned that these songs were her favorite by trial and error. As she lost her sight and got older, I would sing her to sleep at bedtime. She'd snuggle in and give a happy little sigh and then start to snore.) I got to hold her as she left this world. I was ugly crying and sobbing, and kissing her head, and still singing as her eyes closed, although my voice was broken. My heart is broken. And then some days I'm okay. And then I swear I see her out of the corner of my eye or I'll see an adorable westie on instagram that reminds me of her, and I'm reduced to a bucket of tears.
They all touch your heart, but some hurt more than others. Last January we said goodbye to my cat Mokie (15 years old) and almost a year later, I had to say goodbye to Maddie, also 15. It sucked.
But I have happy memories to sustain me! And I shall make 2015 all about me and happiness.
Sending out love in the world in Maddie and Mokie's names!

Knitting a baby dress!
I have too many projects going on. Starting a new job, overbooked myself (pun intended) for the book blog, taking care of my little old westie who has cancer, drowning under bills, you know...usual stuffs. :D
But I have deadlines and things to make. Like that scarf. Or the vest for my mom (I wanted to get it done for next month, but something tells me that ain't happening). Or this stuffed trout thing that I want to make for my dad.
So what did I decide to knit? A lilac baby dress. I'm not pregnant, no. But SOMEONE is. *coughsbitesliphardpromisednottotell*
So I'm making this:
I'm knitting it in Bernat Softee Baby yarn in Soft Lilac. It's super soft and washable and a lovely light light lilac.
Of course...I had moments of
over and over again. The pattern is really simple and easy to follow long, but for whatever reason, I took one sentence to mean something else and instead of knitting in the established pattern, kept trying to reverse it. D'oh! Don't ask. I was making dumb mistakes all night. But now it's soaring along and I'm thinking that baby items are nice and tiny and small and maybe I'll keep making those instead until the late February deadline, eh?
=D
I got the yarn from amazon.com, which was nicely discounted, but with a new job comes new yarn affordability! I think I might limit myself, however, until I finish these three or four projects first!
I am quite excited to be knitting. Quite excited for SOMEONE's baby girl to be born. And generally just happy happy lately. :D
What are you up to? What are you reading? What are you knitting? Anyone? Anyone?

Cancer sucks.
You know me by now, I'm sure. When it's a larger project, I do a few rows at a time. I'm often interrupted when I'm knitting, usually taking care of my mother or one of the pets. I was watching 'Chocolat' with Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp the other night and got a few rows done on the vest I'm making for my mother. My goal was to get it done for her birthday, but I can already hear that deadline whistling as it sails over my head. Lately, my knitting is often more interrupted by a certain white woof, who has needed more care.
My sweet westie, Madeline Matilda, is diabetic, blind, and recently diagnosed with having an enormous, inoperable bladder tumor as well as other tumors peppering the insides of her tiny little body. She is 14 years old and one of the oldest westies our vet has ever seen, which is a wonderful thing, I suppose! =)
I can't, and won't, say no to this face!
She brings me joy, even when we are in the darkest of times. She has always been the sweetest, most friendly pup in the world. And it is my privilege to be her chosen human. She could've chosen someone else in the family, but she chose me. So my days are often spent rushing her out to pee, crouching low to the ground with a flashlight at night to make sure her urine is steady and she's not straining. There is always blood, but as long as it's not completely hemorrhagic, we are still in the clear. It is about pain management and keeping her comfy.
She is getting more spoiled now than ever! From eating what she wants at any time she wants, to the burden of being kissed and hugged and pet and brushed by her humans, this girl is lapping up the extra attention. She's always been spoiled and laden with kisses, but we are all taking the extra time with her.
She has staked out a bathroom as her own. We've put her bed in there, with sheets to keep her cool, a rolled up towel to help keep the bed bolstered so she can rest her head, and on bad days, she gets an ice pack every few hours. She also has a cooling pad that she can choose to use. It's adorable to watch her maneuver and position herself JUST SO on that ice pack .
We lost her feline sister, Mokie, this January due to cancer. She was also 14; she would've been 15 in April. I don't think I handle this very well either and am often quite on the verge of tears, but I am so thankful that she loves me, she knows she's loved, and that I got to share her life.

Knitting and Reading and Writing
I've been playing around with story ideas and have random little notes everywhere as I read, knit, watch TV, etc. One of these days, I might actually try to WRITE a book instead of dreaming about writing one!
I knew a couple of these knitting rhymes, but found a few more while thinking about story ideas, etc. It made me wonder what else has nursery rhymes to help teach. It also made me think about WHY they have these little learning devices and then it hit me: it must be because the literacy rate was lower then! A few more Google searches and it seems my supposition is on the money.
How to do the Knit stitch (for little kids):
Into the Bunny hole
Run around the tree
Out of the bunny hole
Away runs he.
(This is the one that I knew already)
In through the front door
Once around the Back
Out through the Window
And off jumps Jack.
Wow, this one is a bit...dark. For those who need knitting therapy ;)
Stab 'em
Choke 'em
Drag 'em back
Throw 'em away!
For the purl stitch:
In front of the fence,
Catch the goat,
Back we go,
Jump off the boat!
Under the fence,
Catch the sheep,
Back we come,
Off we leap!
Aren't those cute? Now I'm going to look for more for crochet, sewing, embroidery, etc.

Absolutely No Knitting Progress :(
I have made absolutely NO knitting progress at all. The hat I made for my soon to be SIL was WAAAAAAAAAAAY off on the ribbing. About 2 inches too wide. So I need to frog the whole thing or add some elastic. I have more yarn, so I'll just knit a new one, but it's March and she won't need it for a while.
The scarf sits. The vest sits. I overbooked myself in reading commitments so February and March were a lot more busy than expected for the blog.
I'm still behind on my reading over there, plus behind in my knitting, and there's a ton of other things going on including an injured ankle and I'm cranky from not getting my miles in. I may only be powerwalking, but dammit I need it. Winter needs to go away! lol
I should be able to pick up my knitting more often soon. I'm going to slow WAAAAAAAAAY down on my book blog, too. I need to knit. I need to walk. I need the balance. I love reading, but then fall behind on reviews, which I don't like. But I need to find that balance.
SO!
Works in Progress or that will soon be in progress are:

{WIP} Persephone Scarf from Smariek Knits
I'm rather a slow knitter. Well, it's not that I'm slow really. It's that I don't do a lot at once like most other knitters. Three to five rows and then I get distracted. Books, fur kids, another knitting project.
Maybe this one will be done by next winter! In the meantime, I'm doing a few rows while watching ALMOST HUMAN. I really like Karl Urban. I've seen him in lots of movies, of course, but he really won me over with he was mourning what he thought was his sister's death in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King!
Anyway, just an update on one of my WIPs. :)

{Finished Object(s)} Happy New Year!
I hope your holidays were festive and fun and filled with laughter and love. And maybe you got some awesome goodies like books and knitting needles and yarn?
Come on, I can't be the only one who thinks those are the perfect presents? Hee-hee.
Well, I forgot to photograph the FOs I had for Xmas. Whoops! A shame, too, as they were quite pretty. I shared one of the scarves, but the second one was a loop (not quite infinity) scarf I made for my brother's fiance. She loved it (phew!) and put it on immediately. So, whoops on forgetting to take a picture of the finished object, but I'm here with one picture of something I made post-Christmas! And I used my Xmas gift to boot!
Check out the loveliness from my brother and his fiance!
It didn't turn out too badly! I still need more practice with the ribbing. It's soooooooo loose and this is the second hat that is like this. I don't understand why. Have my stitches gotten that loose? I'm going to have to try knitting tighter for the ribbing or seriously shrink down my needle size just for the ribbing.
Any suggestions?
And just because I adore my bracelet, I'm sharing with you that pic again...
So cool. :) Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful holiday, whatever you celebrate! I'm making another hat, and gonna work on that ribbing.

Why yes! Those are the Knitpicks Interchangeable Circular needles in Harmony!
I'm a crappy photo taker...these are just gorgeous and rich in color. And oh my do they feel awesome in the hand! I also received a couple skeins of yarn. My future sis-in-law didn't know what to get as she is not a knitter, so she picked up a couple balls of Cozy Wool. I made her a hat with one skein from the pattern on the label.
Any suggestions?

Yay! And Bummer!
Owl hat...done, as you know!
Scarf for BFF - done and mailed
Loop scarf for sis-in-law-to-be - done and wrapped!
WIPs:
--Cabled Persephone Scarf
--Cabled tie vest
My wrist has been aching so I haven't really been knitting as fast as I want. I hurried to get the scarf done I had to mail and the other one for Xmas exchange. The Cabled Persephone Scarf and Cabled Tie Vest are also for mom, so I can take my time on that. Let my wrist heal up a bit.
My love let me open my Christmas gifts early. One was the perfume I have been coveting and the other is this AMAZINGLY awesome, fantastically cool, utterly fantastic bracelet! It's made from an antique, silver fork. Is it not fantastic? As you can see, I have fat hands and wrist. It was a bit hard to get on, and then I yanked it off so I could turn it around and have the hearts on the inside of my wrist so I could see it better. :)
*photo coming...for some reason instagram isn't playing nice*
Wrist recovery time (damn you, carpal tunnel! damn you!) and then back to knitting up that vest first. Scarf second.
Merry Christmas!

Gift(s) in Progress! And one of my furkids!
This is version four...I've frogged this scarf so many times! Now, it's just a simple garter stitch scarf, but I think that's okay as the yarn is fun and bulky.
It started off as a cowl, then a moebius scarf, then a cabled scarf, now it's just garter. My hand is in a brace from carpal tunnel, so basic scarf it is!
The next one should be a bit fancier. Maybe. I'm running low on time and with my wrists aching...

One Xmas Present Down!
It wasn't a secret as she was constantly checking to see what I was knitting, but I didn't let her fully see until it was done. And she loves it. So she got it early!
Made mom this owl cable hat. Button eyes on every other owl, it looks super cute on her. I made it a little TOO loose, but nothing a quick wash and shrink won't fix.
Donegal tweed from knitpicks. :)

{Progress Report} FROG FROGGY FROG FROG
I haven't gotten very far in my #122 tie-front cable tunic vest. I've been too busy reading. So I've been knitting while getting caught up on my shows on Hulu when I can sneak some time in.
I came across a questionable instance in this pattern for which I pleaded for help on facebook. It was decided that, where I had to do a ssk and the place marker was in the way, remove the marker, ssk, add the marker back.
Well, as I was setting up the cabling rows, my numbers are all kinds of off. Instead of 13 before the first stitch marker, I have only 11. Instead of 23 for the next row, I have 24. URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
So I'm frogging it.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Sigh. Tomorrow anyway. And only 8 rows or so. Trying again. I must've screwed something up with that decrease.
Starting a new project, this one will be the Persephone Cable scarf and fingerless mitts. Hope this one goes smoothly and quickly. I would like to make it for my mom for Christmas! :)
Here's the first bit of it done! Do you like my notes? LOL I need to keep tallies of the repeats or I go insane trying to follow the pattern! :D

I'm hoping scarf, which needs no shaping, will be something I can whip out quickly and relax while watching my shows. :) If you couldn't tell ... I'm a total noob knitter. I may have been knitting for years, but I'm definitely a beginner, especially when confronted with patterns! :)

Craftsy Rocks.
I'm still doing the rib on the bottom of the vest. I have about 12 more rows to go. I'm a VERY slow knitter who does a row and then walks off to do something else. =D
I subscribe to the Craftsy newsletter and thought to share this with you. This is a one-hour (well, not if you're me) project that's perfect for getting started on your winter holiday knitting! Stephanie Japel always has great patterns (I first learned of her from knitty.com). This is an easy Herringbone Cowl that is free to DL!
Here's her step by step video
And here's the link to the downloadable freebie PDF pattern!

Tie-front Cabled Vest Knitting Project HAS BEGUN!
I started! After reading through the pattern once thoroughly and highlight all the correct sizes, I realized that I haven't knitted in years. So I decided to swatch. I NEVER swatch.
I like to live dangerously in my knitting. So there.
Tonight, however, I decided to swatch. No so much for gauge, although that was helpful to make sure my gauge matched the instructions as closely as possible, but also to remind myself how to do certain techiniques.
Did I remember how to PFB and KFB? What does that do again? When it says decrease, WHICH decrease do I use? (I'm still uncertain on this one for the pattern. SSK leans left, K2TOG leans right, right?)
Hum uh nah what with the pockets? I've not done pockets like this before. Why do I need stitch markers? Do those go on the needles or on the yarn as I'm knitting?
You know...basics. :P
I've started the first of two pockets. I've never knit on circular needles before so this is gonna be my virgin run. It is NOT circular knitting though, which is interesting. Circular needles are just like DPNs, right? I've used DPNs for mittens.
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I go! Will check in as often as possible. In the mean time, I leave you with YOGA CAT.
This is my DSH Webbie, who is 14 years old, diabetic, and the biggest love bug in the world. He is the cat that comes running when you call him, wants nothing more than to play with my yarn, and adores being brushed. I don't know who taught him yoga...but this is how I found him sleeping today!

COMING SOON! :)
It's been a long time since I've knitted/crocheted anything. The urge to do so has come on strong and now that I can afford to splurge a bit... :)
I'm starting a project!
http://www.ravelry.com/projects/teefahknee/122-tie-front-cabled-long-vest
is what I am making. You can buy the pattern from knitpicks here: http://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/tie-front-cabled-tunic-vest.html.
I chose the Swish Bulky in Hollyberry and will be making a size medium for my mother. I am currently locked out of my gmail account (was sending photos of a wedding I took to a friend and apparently it was unusual usage for my account :P ) or I'd share the pic of the yarn. I was able to instagram it though, so let's try embedding that...
OH LOOK! TAHDAH! I feel badass now. :P So yeah...this probably won't have as much blogging on it as my book blog (tiffyfit.blogspot.com), but it's definitely gonna start something! :D
