What is "SH" in row 98? I'm assuming scrap yarn or something to that effect.

A Fuzzy Shoe

Yesterday I made these: Flip-Flop covers. A fun way to use up novelty yarn I bought on a whim. I made them as another cover for my  Switch Flops . The project started out well. They even ended up the same size as all my other covers. I was feeling pretty good about the project. When I finished knitting them it was kind of late, so I waited to find some Velcro until today. That's when I found the bump in the road. This morning I started looking for Velcro. I knew we had some in the craft closet, I even remembered putting it there. Unfortunately, all we have is the fuzzy part, which is already covering the flip-flop straps. What I needed was the scratchy part. Okay, I admit it I know nothing about Velcro. I kept on looking but all I found was more of the wrong have. The good thing about the craft closet is that it holds all the remnants of failed projects through the years. That may sound depressing, but really it's a positive thing. I stumbled, literally, across one of V...

Tank Top to Sweater

The Problem I've had a longer relationship with this fair-isle tank top than I have with any man I've dated. It's been with me for three moves and five Christmases, always at the bottom of my knitting basket. It's pretty obviously unwearable - the neckline is unfinished, the bottom rolls up, and it's for that very specific weather pattern that leaves your midsection cold but your arms too hot. But the yarn is soft to the touch and I still like the color combination in the fair isle pattern. I even found part of the pattern mapped out in an old Excel sheet. So I picked it up over this past Christmas to see what I could do with it now. The biggest problem is I only had a partial skein left of each color with no labels or tags, and again the yarn came from an inherited stash. I ran out of the first skein halfway through knitting the second sleeve. Hubris led to 4" purple cuffs, and then I didn't have any more purple to continue the fair-isle pattern. Easy come...
