Where Have I Been?
I've been watching Lost. We bought Season 1 last week and I cannot stay away from it. I can't stop watching because 1) I can't figure out what the heck is going to happen and 2) I have a major crush on Matthew Fox - remember him from Party of Five? He's back! On Lost! And more smokin' than ever I dare say...
Anyway, enough about my hot doctor on a deserted island fantasies... ;-) Let's get to the knitting!
I've been working on this:
Which Will become this:
Only about 5 feet to go... I had so much difficulty starting this project. It is 250 stitches wide and I could not for the life of me get the first 2 rows of pattern to work out - my count was off everytime. Then I finally got through them and suddenly everything was obvious. Once those foundation rows are down, it's smooth sailing from there. Still though, I'm going to be casting on a TV watching project tonight. I can't work on this with Matthew Fox wandering the beach...or the jungle.

The blanket is coming along nicely :) I love the color and pattern of it. For me to do that I think it would drive me insane! I am not sure I would have the stamina to do that ... but then again I am doing lace shawls soon so maybe I do ... of course they will probaly take me a year to get them done :)
Very pretty.
I'm knitting a sock right now with the exact same cable (the main one who's name I forget right now - horseshoe?). It's one of my favourites.
that's going to be so lovely. but "only five feet to go" sounds very intimidating to me.
I admire you for you bravery and your taste in men :o) I love Lost and watch it every week... it's on TONIGHT. I hate waiting a whole week, you did it the right way, buying the DVD.
I made an ivory cabled afghan for a friend's wedding present a couple years ago. It was a huge amount of work but was so worth it in the end. She actually cried when she opened it. Keep up the great work! And don't let a mere 5 feet intimidate you.
I love me some Matthew Fox!
The show only gets more insane and addicting
Very cute! That show is so addicting. I wish they came out with the previous season on DVD before the next season started.. I've only finished season 1, too.
It's lovely! 250 st eh? and I thought I hd a challenge with 70" of 128!
Have to agree wih you about Lost - plenty of eye candy :-) You better cast on a nice plain sock
that is a lovely blanket! what does it come out to be sizewise?
lost is the one show that i gave up knitting during - i need all my attention on the tv when it's on because there's always SOMETHING happening, half the time in the background, barely noticeable.
That blanket is very pretty! 250 stitches sounds like a lot of stitches and a lot of lace and yarnovers. A pattern like that would make me run away ... far far away! *lol* I can't wait to see it as you progress. :)
Happy Knitting!
Hi Vicki, long time no see. I just got on to see if you have done anything new recently. And I saw you talking about "Jack", lol... I like him in that show, too. But you should really hurry up and watch season 2. OMG, the last episode was increditably awesome. It tells you soooo much information. I can't wait to see what happens next.
The recipient of that blanket is very lucky, indeed!
That's incredible! I can't believe how much patience you have.
I admire your patience. Everytime I try to attempt to knit something without shaping for more than 10 inches, I start to cringe :P
