When I first heard of this communal blog I thought it was a great idea, got signed up -- and never wrote!! But I have been thinking more and more of blogging about knitting, so here I am. I am a strong believer in the importance of photographs in knitting blogs, so I am off to figure out my new digital camera and will post again with photos. Just a quick preview of what I have on the needles, and some designs in progress:
1) I have finished the knitting for a K2P2 ribbed zipped cardigan from a Vitadinni pattern. Now I have to put in the zipper.
2) I am making the Round Trip bolero from Knitters fall issue, using Shinano instead of Kureyon. I am crazy about Shinano -- slightly more subtle colors in the stripes and lots of tweed flecks.
3) I have some gorgeous discontinued Rowan DK Soft in the rose shade. I love the yarn so much that I have not been able to settle on a pattern, especially since there is no more of this stuff to be had.
Pictures to follow!

I just read about it on a knitting list, contacted the owner, and she added me to the list! There must be a link to the blog administrator somewhere ... I'm new here myself.

Hi y'all! Yes, Pink Tea is a blog for knitters who don't have their own blog and don't want the commitment of posting all the time. Look for the very first entry in the archives for more information, then if you're interested write to me (Sheila)! It would be great to have more posters :-)
Posted by: Sheila on February 2, 2004 06:59 AMRob, I'm looking forward to seeing your projects! I love the DK Soft too, and the rose shade is perfectly wonderful.
Posted by: Sheila on February 2, 2004 07:00 AMHi, Rob! Welcome to Pink Tea! Even though Pink Tea doesn't get a lot of postings, it's one of my fave blogs, I have it listed on MY blog, and I check it frequently, so I'm looking forward to what you have to show us! Thanks for posting!
