New and Ribbing Along

Hi folks - I stumbled across this KAL the other day and thought it was perfect - I just started Ribby Cardi ages behind everyone else.

I'm making it in Cascade 220 in a tan and slate blue and have figured out from everyone else that I should make the body at least 1-2" longer. Any other big suggestions?

All sorts of fun deatils are on my blog, and here are the first and second entries dealing with Ribby Cardi. This week is The Week of the Sock on the blog, but I'll still be knitting RC in the background.

Completed Soleil

Finally after putting it in the bottom of a bag somewhere for the winter months. I took it out last week and finished it! Here's Soleil.
I used some sort of yarn from Denmark, Hjerte Diamant cotton/viscose gauge was good in a beautiful shade of blue. Knitted size 42-44
I like the top but a little disappointed with it. Sorry I didn't get a photo wearing it. Dh said it's to short....I even knitted it an inch or two longer then the pattern called for. It's sorta like a belly type top, should be ok during those dog days of summer and kicking back around the house or maybe I should gift it to someone.

French for Black Hole

I know I am not the first person to experience this, but I knit the crap out of this thing - 3 episodes of Veronica Mars, 1 of Doctor Who (the new one) and two of Numb3rs. And this is where I am, just past the first dropped stitch.


Not from cast on, mind you, but I started nearly at the end of the increase section at 8:30 this morning. I added one extra to make it a bit wider. Also, I have 3 (!) different dyelots of the Lion & Lamb Black Purl colorway, but I'm guessing (hoping) this pattern is pretty forgiving in that regard.

Yes, that's a Yarn Pirate tote bag.

Hi!

Howdy all, I have to say this is the best idea for a knit-a-long ever. I've only been knitting for a little over a year - and every time I find something I want to knit I discover the whole world has knit it. But that won't stop me......

Currently Behind the Times on Clapotis (among other things...) and I will post a picture later, but I have a question about yardage and length. I'd like it to be really long, so I bought 4 skeins of the Lion & Lamb. If I knit up skeins 2 & 3 for the straight parts, will I have enough left with only one skein to do the decrease section? (I haven't finished the increse section yet)
