Extreme Knitting!!!

My husband saw this book on the counter:
and asked, "What next, Extreme Knitting!??!". I was fairly amused by the idea. We started tossing around things like Bungee jumping while knitting! Or maybe sky diving while knitting? All a bit crazy for me. I’m lucky to get in some knitting while sitting on my couch.
The book is pretty cool - it shows numerous edgings for sweaters/other stuff and really great pictures. I could have used this when I was designing Flashy Lace, as I originally wanted to do a lacy edging and then a more stockinette body. Owell - I think Flashy Lace came out ok anyway. I can’t wait until it gets cooler again so I can actually wear the darn thing.

I’m making superb progress on Hardangervidda. Of course I haven’t posted in forever, so you’ve got some catching up to do.
First there was this:
Then this:
And finally tonite:
Woohoo!!! I’m so glad I’m making good progress, and it’s much more interesting knitting the pattern part. I think once I get the body of this done, I’ll start up Ingeborg’s body. (My mom is visiting this week, so I can re-measure her to make sure I’m making the right size). I have also started a few sock projects but no pics on those cuz I’m all picture-d out for now.

Nancy, Congrats on the progress on H-vidda. I’m impressed. I’m also on the DK list, and that’s where I heard about your blog. I’ve been following silently since you started H-vidda and glad it’s finally working out for you. Congrats on the baby too. He’s a cutie!
