Wow...

In case you haven't heard, Remnants on Ravelry is gone.

I'm kind of flabbergasted. Whilst I wasn't necessarily really, really active there, I did make a significant minority of my posts there (the others were divided among various groups).

I understand how it was a nightmare to mod. I'm just definitely going to miss it.

In happier news, I'm signed up for Team Enterprise (Team UU and Team TARDIS were actually my first picks) in the Nerd Wars, and I joined the Starfleet Fiber Arts Corps, and am contemplating joining the AMKG Guild Wars. Though I wonder what it was that instigated three events starting at the same time, and whether this is sort of a nerdy off-year replacement for the Ravelympics?

And I completed a very warm, very fluffy, very green Cloud Bolero in Suri Dream (which is also being discontinued) as possibly my first sweater for IntSweMoDo.

Hello...

I guess I haven't been posting much of late. I have been busy with Ravelry, on the whole not knitting a whole lot. Also, I detest (no insult to psychologists) psychology and fractions that include polynomials, both of which I unfortunatly have to study. Would much rather work with derivatives?...

Besides that, the camera is embleer full of pictures, and the batteries may be low. I also have tons of socks on the needles, designs in my head, my own derivition of Tolkien's Elvish*, and a Ravelry queue chock-ful of stuff!

* Ah, ahem, yes. I have been reading too much LOTR. And I did finally get to watch the Fellowship of the Ring movie, and perhaps got about eight rounds of knitting done on a cabled 72 stitch sock (more on that later) during 2hrs.58min.59sec. (I think).

Random thought:
Why do I have a post tagged spinnning?

Now I go a Raveling, a Raveling

There has been very little progress as of late on anything, but I am now on Ravelry! (I'm Arachnera, of course!)

Here are a few of the things in the design works here at Arachnera's Web:

Unknowns(i.e. I have the ideas and may have started some calculations, but they're on the back burner):

1. A fair isle style sweater (Theme: a country autumn)
2. A yoke sweater that I persist in calling the "Chestnuts" sweater after the Christmas song
3. A unique cabled pullover w/ empire waist
4. A fiber arts shawl
5. A shawl themed after the children's classic The Secret Garden

Of those, 1, 2, & 3 are the top priorities, and 5 has been put on the back burner temporarily due to the loss of the acquainted sketch. Still, they are big projects and I do not have a reputation for finishing large projects quickly.

Socks(which should come along sooner:

1. "Antonym" (hibernating)
2. A variation on SKS cables (in progress)
3. Crest o' the Wave variation on SKS chevron aka Volare (finished/notes yet to be written/scrapped full pattern due to copyright, etc.)
4. G. socks w. cable based on the classic string figure "Jacob's Ladder"
5. S. socks w. intwining cables
6. H. socks w. basic texture patterns.
7. R. socks w. lace patterns
8. "Pomegranate" socks
9. socks which violate a cardinal rule of Knitty (tee-hee!)
10. socks with corn (the existance of which is questionable)
11. present socks (for Christmas)
12. knee socks (to be further abreviated ks) in traditional patterns: Aran
13. ks Fair Isle
14. ks Norweigian
15. ks lace
16. ks Gansey
17. twisted stitch socks (Die Blau Donau)
18. twisted stitch socks (In der Halle des Berkonig)

I've left quite a few question marks, I'm sure. Guess what 4, 5, 6, & 7 were designed as a set inspired by?

ETA: the lists above are supposed to be numbered lists! Hello, Blogger?
