Tag Archives: Tubey v2

I know I promised a Mountain Peaks post, but I haven’t had the heart to touch it in the past couple of weeks, even to take photos. I’ll post about it soon, but in the meantime, I have an update on another project.

Awhile ago, my newer Tubey looked like this.

Yes, this is the same photo I posted last year. I did keep working on it for some time after that photo was taken, but I never posted another picture because honestly? It looked pretty much the same, just a bit longer.

But, as I may have mentioned before, I later realized that it wasn’t going to fit the way I wanted it to. I went into denial for quite awhile and kept it on the needles anyway.

Last month, I finally sucked it up and frogged the whole thing.

I already have a new project in mind for this yarn, but I probably won’t start it for awhile. So all of this yarn is just going to sit pretty for awhile.

As a side note, turning frogged yarn into skeins is so much easier with a swift!

I’ve mentioned this project a couple of times over the past couple of months. But it’s taken me awhile to post about it because honestly, stockinette rectangles are boring.

But by now I’ve done some of the ribbing, and I finally have this to show for it:

This is Tubey, take two. My first one doesn’t fit me anymore, so I’m making another.

It’s been kind of slow going; this Tubey seems like it’s taking forever. Even though I’m knitting a smaller size this time, I’m using a finer yarn at an appropriate gauge. So, there’s a hell of a lot of stitches in this. I’m sure it’ll be worth it, though!
