It's the Slip Stitch Sampler Throw. There is a link to it on my Ravelry projects page. I think you will be seeing a lot of it for a long time at our Thursday night meetings.

The insanity of crochet instructions
Having reminded myself of basic crochet stitches, I of course decided that meant I could crochet garments. So far that hasn't worked out too well. I have given up (temporarily) on the Millicent cardigan, made of squares you connect as you go, since my frustration level at having to do each squ...
But that's a good effect of a one-bedroom apartment. People fill their garages and basements to the rafters with stuff they should recycle, give away or throw out. Not a good thing.

Knitting frenzy continues
Maintaining project monogamy gives me a much better chance of finishing a project. So I am sticking to the Nanner socks, though I am dying to start another project. One issue with feeling this way is that I obsess over particular future projects so much that by the time I am ready to cast on f...
Michelle, this is my first sparkly batt. Oh wait, it's the second, but I didn't like the coarse strips that made the first one sparkly. I really enjoy the sparkly parts of this one.

Talking to myself
OK, I find that I am talking to myself about the fiber arts. That's what started this blog in the first place. So I am going to make a concerted effort to keep posting here. Yeah yeah, I know you have heard it before, but really... this time I mean it. So what has been going on chez Rob since...
Laritza, thanks for the encouragement to ply it without any intermediate "unspinning." Since it is a highly twisted single skein, I think I will try chain plying it.

Martha, a huge milestone for you and your son, and an exciting one. Best of luck with his applications. Roberta

1924 Miles
Our trip last week took us to colleges in our state of Virginia, as well as three other southeastern states. We visited Virginia Tech, High Point University, Clemson, Georgia, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and NC State. Today, my younger son began his senior year in high school. Today, as...
Thanks Kirsten! I wasn't sure since the instructions for the row in which you place the marker mention the "outlined pattern repeat," which I thought referenced the lace pattern.
Is it ok if I post your answer on Ravelry Knittylove, where I originally posted my question about the repeats?

Que Sera
Thanks for stopping by. I've recently updated my pattern store. You will also find my patterns on Ravelry. The new Knitty is up and I am thrilled to have a pattern in it. Sofie likes to wear Que Sera with a sweet floral skirt and kicky pair of boots, but it works just as well with a pair of je...
One more question about Que Sera, this time about the Cluster 3 -- I assume we slip the stitches as if to knit, right? And at the end, we purl each one of the three stitches individually?

I fell in love with Que Sera, but posted the following question on the Knittylove forum on Ravelry.
I am a little confused by the instructions for the lower band. After casting on, knitting in Double Moss stitch, and knitting the first buttonhole row, the instructions say:
Next Row WS: Work 6 sts in pattern, place marker, work in pattern to last 6 sts (outlined pattern repeat will be worked 1112, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 times), place marker, work last 6 sts in pattern.
From then on, it says, you work the lower body in the lace pattern. But… what pattern am I working on the bands? The only pattern I see is the pattern for the lace. Is that used on the bands as well? Or do they just mean that the body lace pattern starts after the first buttonhole row? Isn't that a wrong side row?
Can you clarify this?

Thanks Kim! I was going to call you tonight to ask, LOL. I just have so much beautiful sock yarn it is hard to choose.

Knitting in Texas winters
While folks here are complaining about the coldest winter in years (yeah, right. The temperature has ranged from 48-78 during the day, and down into the 30s some nights), I am enjoying my knitting. I will have to remember this during the summer. I have completed 3 repeats of the MoonGarden Wr...
