Knitting Slacker
I returned to knitting group tonight. I haven't been in a while and I am so impressed at everyone's work! While I've been slacking off barely knitting everyone's been working on the Lady Eleanor! I feel like such a slacker. I am both a slacker and a follower because I now really want to knit this! So I am inspired to keep knitting bigger and better things, but first I have to finish knitting the tank top I started with Tess Microfiber ribbon. I am done the back:
I've got maybe an inch done on the front. This yarn is most definitely high maintenance. You must use fray stop and you have to carefully unravel just a little off the skein at a time.
Next I have to finish my cable scarf and then onto Lady Eleanor perhaps? So much for stash busting. That will require a yarn purchase...
On house news we actually got a whole room painted! Yay!

Hi Big Lug! I've never left you a message before, but I'm a devoted follower and admirer of all your knitting projects! Do you crochet? Because if you do, I have a newbie crocheting question for you. I'm making a huuuuge throw but need to use multiple balls (that's probably not the technically term!) of yarn. How do I work the next ball of yarn into the throw? You can email me at lubnac@yahoo.com if you are able to help me out. Thanks! Lubna

Heya! Pretty room! I like the wall color, and love the floors!
Nice tank too - I have heard that the ribbon is a bitch to knit with, but feels so great when you wear it. I hope that is the case for yours!

Welcome back to the world of knitting. If you are already thinking of starting something before you finish that tank...I'm not worried about you becoming re-addicted to the craft.
The room looks great.
I hope that couch is a fold-out. I think I'll come visit one day.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! :) It was nice to meet you the other night too. Your tank is just too pretty. It's going to be so awesome when you are done. You certainly have a lot more patients than I do! Hope to see you again soon. :)

I love the walls.Yellow with white trim is so fresh and clean looking. I love it and am jealous because of my apartment white walls... I long for choclate brown and ruby walls *sigh*

The back looks gorgeous! That color is going to be unbelievable on you.
Yaay! I know how exciting it is to have rooms painted!

Hi! It was great to meet you at the knitting group the other night (found your blog through the email list there). Your ribbon top looks like it came out really well! I can't wait to see it on. Also, your produce in the other post looks very tasty, too!

Hey Jen,
long time no talk. Love the tank and I'm taking knitting lessons too. Maybe we'll swap knitting stories.....
