RECAP

Readers would have made reasonable money in nifty future long as it moved to

second target of long. As expected it traded in a narrow range yesterday. But

our long level captured all but 15 points of the narrow range. On the other hand STER,

traded mostly above 865, thereby ruling out the short trade. Readers who went short in HDIL

based on the levels given would have minted the almighty dollar as it fell from 339.50(340 was

the short level) to 316 in a straight line. More than 17,0000 rupees on a single lot.

Nifty

Long Level

Buy nifty future at 5098 with stop loss at 5080 for targets 5125, 5150, 5180.

Short Level

Trading below 5080 with volumes nifty may move to 5028 and 5000.

There are no Bank Nifty Levels.

There are no stock recommendations, being expiry day.

i started with this old lightweight cotton sweater that i purchased at some discount store eons ago:

and i turned it into this:

New cameras are funny things. In addition to the usual adjustment to new buttons, new settings, new new new, there’s also an adjustment to the way you even take pictures. For me, the adjustment here is in self portraits, because my new camera has a little remote. Shiny new toy! It’ll make my pictures so much better!

(Is this thing even working? *click click click*)

No. It isn’t better. The camera remote is an evil torture device.

(Maybe if I adjust this setti—*click* dammit!)

It is designed to make you think your life is easier, when really your pictures are just more ridiculous.

(Okay. Got it. Now I just need to look away from the camera, all artistic like and… sun. Directly in my eyes. Isn’t it November? Shouldn’t it be overcast? Why does the world hate me?)

I cry myself to sleep at night thinking about how many awesome pictures I could’ve taken if not for that vicious camera remote.

(That’s it, I’m done. Let me just get one full size picture and I’m going inside. There! Perfect! I’m… not in the frame, am I.)

Whatever.

Pattern: Herbivore by Stephen West
Yarn: J. Knits Superwash Me Sock in Minneapolis, 1 skein
Needles: US6/4mm KnitPicks Options
On Ravelry here.

November has proven to be a very busy month for me.  Not only am I finishing up my Christmas knitting, but there is the matter of my Monthly Personal Sock Club and writing a novel in a month for NaNoWriMo!

Speaking of my Monthly socks, I am happy to have finished November’s edition.

• Project : November Socks
• Pattern : ‘Interlocking Leaves’ by Kelly Porpiglia (Knitty Fall 2008)
• Yarn : Fetish Superwash in “Pumpkin Chai’ by PhoenixFiberworks

The picture doesn’t do these socks justice; the lace pattern is so bold with the varying hues of orange in the yarn.  These were a true pleasure to knit and the pattern was written well.  The only thing I changed was the heel.  I don’t know if it was me or what, but I totally botched the pattern’s heel on the first sock, so I ripped it out and replaced the directions with a traditional short-row heel.

The yarn is very special to me.  This skein is one of Tina’s creations, and while I’m not the biggest fan of orange, I loved this yarn the moment that I received it.  Oddly enough, this yarn was gifted to me in a previous swap, and my partner had no idea that I knew Tina so well.  She just thought the yarn was pretty, which it is.

My color palette has been expanding since I learned to spin.  I’ve opened my eyes to try to knit with colors that I usually shy away from because they are not necessarily colors that I like.  This pair of socks is a good example of what pleasant surprises can await if you shuck your normal habits.

RECAP

Nifty made low spot on at 5050 which coincidentally happened to be our buy level.

Readers would have minted the almighty dollar as it rocketed to first target.

Although HDIL broke 336, it did not retrace to our short level.

It is important to note here, as many readers might have observed, how nifty is panicking near our

weekly pivot level of 5090.

Nifty

Short Level

Nifty future breaking 5070 short with stop loss at 5095 for targets 5035, 5007, 4985.

Long Level

Trading above 5095 with volumes nifty future can move to 5120 and 5135.

Sterlite Industries (STER)

Sterlite is looking weak on charts. 865 will be critical level for STER tomorrow.

If sterlite is unable to trade above 865 with volumes, it becomes a short with stop loss at 872

for targets 841, 827, 816.

There are no trading levels for BNF tomorrow.

More Ongoing Wish Swap goodness! If you’re Craftster user Mlsocci74, you should stay away from this page until you get your package!

Anyway, I claimed Mlsocci74 for kitty things and armwarmers for her daughter.

It took me like, nineteen tries to get a color combination that wouldn’t make me want to stab my eye out while I was knitting them. I believe I was successful, though they’re still vaguely sickeningly girly:

Pattern: The one from my head. Top-down fingerless mitts with extra long cuffs.
Yarn: Reclaimed thrift store sweater wool. Natural/undyed* and kool-aid hand-dyed pink, which would be a pretty color if I liked pink at all.
Needles: US 7/4.5 mm Clover dpns

*Mac dictionary wanted to correct this to “undead”. Bahahahaha, zombie mitts!

These took me a grand total of like three hours to make, which isn’t bad at all. And they’re cute I guess. I wouldn’t wear them (I need my pink to be SERIOUSLY TEMPERED if it’s on my person), but a 13-year-old might like them if she’s girly. Yay.

I also made a bunch of kitty toys (mice) for the package:

Pattern: My own. Increase up to 16, knit around, decrease down to three and knit icord. Ears are crocheted mostly.
Yarn: Various scraps of things including Cascade Eco Wool, Knit Picks WotA, and thrift store sweater wool.
Needles: US 7/4.5 mm for the Eco Wool and US 5/3.75(right?) mm for the others.

(I have a serious love for this photo. I love the Macro setting.)

They’re cute. I like to hold them. I might make some for my cats for when I’m home over winter break because they take only a tiny amount of yarn and are GREAT for stash/scrap busting. I used up every inch of that purple WotA. Win.

Anyway, that’s what I sent off. One of my packages has arrived (not this one), so I can claim someone else! Whoo! I also recently finished two knitted things, which I will have FO posts for soon (today is gloomy and not a good day for photos).

As promised, I spent the day in front of my sewing machine today finishing the third library bag, and working with my gorgeous Amy Butler Nigella fabric.

So, a book bag for Miss 1 to match the ones I made for Miss 3 and I. 

The second thing I worked on today was a bag to hold my swift. It was made by a friend’s father, and had been stored in the brown paper wrapper it arrived in, until it fell apart. I cut this out months ago, and then did nothing more. I had decided it needed a pocket but wasn’t sure how I would make it. Today it was a doddle, as I realised a full width pocket would be sewn in with the seams. With a small flap for the top, and a bit of contrasting binding, it was done.  The pocket will store the dowels easily and closes with a snap. I totally love my snap press, it is so much easier than trying to get my machine to produce a passable buttonhole!  Then it was a matter to whipping up a lining and side seams, and making a casing for the ribbon closure.  Ah, yet another bit of Amy loveliness to sit around being useful and pretty.

I had enough left overs to make myself a beautiful work in progress bag too.

And speaking of left overs, I played around with them too, and made three more slightly smaller work in progress bags – the one of on the right is the smallest and would be perfect for a sock knitter.  These need rehoming, as a girl doesn’t need *quite* this many beautiful bags.

And now all I am left with from two yards of beautiful fabric is this:

Oh, and a floor desperately in need of vacuuming.   What fun it was to spend a whole day sewing. I can’t remember the last time I did. But for now, I had better pick up those knitting needles!

Weekly Nifty Outlook

The key level to watch on nifty this week will be 5090.

Trading above this level, nifty will scale the heights of 5125, 5160 and 5280.

However if nifty is unable to sustain 5090 , bears will slaughter nifty to the extent of 4895, 4825 and 4750 this week.

HDIL

HDIL looks the most interesting stock to trade next week.

Look out for my daily stock market outlook for trading levels for HDIL

Since I’ve blogged last I’ve had to move, again.  Total crazies. Lots and lots of crazy. Metric fucktonnes of crazy. So I’ve been knitting a lot of socks. Lots and lots of socks to combat the crazy. Because socks are not crazy.

Mostly, I’ve been working on these kilt hose for B. He chose the patterns and I designed them. The foot is Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Moccasin Sock, so that the socks can be re-soled if necessary.

Some plain stockinette socks in Trekking XXL color 146. I love the muted red/orange tones.

And finally years after the trend peaked, a pair of Jaywalkers in Regia Galaxy Saturn.

Oh, and I also decided to do NaKniSweMo. Because knitting a sweater in the midst of moving and general craziness is a good thing. Or whatever.  So I’m working on the February Fitted Pullover in Patons  Classic Wool in Old Gold. 11″ of the body done, which is more than I have in this photo, but I haven’t taken a new photo because it’s just more lace right now.

well, technically, these are some of the last two weeks’ FOs, but, uhhhhh, i’ve been busy. or just tired. take your pick.

first, a hat knitted using skein remnants.

the black is caron simply soft acrylic, left over from the felicity hats i made earlier this year. the other yarns are leftover chenilles from years and years ago. i’m not one to get rid of craft supplies i can use later!

i pretty much winged it with the pattern.

and then there’s this:

i needed a little pouch that would fit my notebook and whatever writing/drawing implements i want to carry with it, so i sewed up a bunch of scraps and made this zip-top pouch.

the finished size is 7.5″ X 11.5″.

and it’s fully lined.

fits my notebook, fountain pen, colored pencils, and then some. and best of all, i depleted my stash by using only what i had on hand.

and now i’m off to do some more stash-busting!

Just a simple cat blankie with yarn donated to Cats Protection.

Pattern: Ishbel from Whimsical Little Knits
Yarn: Superwash Merino Wool Handpainted Fingering Weight by The Plucky Knitter in Livingstone
Ravelry Link: Ishbel
Notes: Needle 3.25mm bamboo circular, knitted the large stocking stitch centre and the small vine pattern

I started the shawl a couple of weeks ago when I was up at the Gold Coast visiting friends – they all thought I was mad a) knitting and b) knitting when it was 30 degrees Celsius outside.  The pattern is incredibly popular on raverly, and I can see why.  Very easy lace pattern, the pattern is easy to modify if you want to make it bigger and can be made with only 1 skein of sock wool.

The dark colour doesn’t make the lace pattern pop but I like the subtle shades in the yarn and I think I’ll get a lot of wear out of it.

November has flown by. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week already.  Besides Halloween stuff i have posted nothing this month.  It’s not like i am lacking in things to write about just slacking.

I finished my Mystery Socks a couple weeks ago as some of you may have noticed on Ravelry.

Pattern: Mystery Socks ‘09 by Kristen Kapur from Through the Loops

Dates: October 2-November 4, 2009

Yarn: Patons Stretch Socks in Kelp

Needles: Size 2 (2.75 mm) double points

Notes: Since it was a Mystery pattern and I was trying to make sure I finished each clue on time so I made no changes.  When I make these again I think I will make the leg longer and use a solid colored yarn.  I am very happy with how these came out and I finally have another pair of socks for my happy feet.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A couple week ago Little Man and I had the pleasure of getting to take care of my mom’s neighbor’s cats. My mom usually cares for the cats but happened to be out-of-town at the same time as the neighbors.  But that’s okay because we had great fun with the cats and Little Man fell in love with them.  He was so bummed when it was our last day because he knew we probably won’t see the cats again or not for a very long time.

This is Bunky. He is very playful and likes a good petting after eating.  He also likes to show off his talents on the kitty tower.

Then we have the stoic cutie pie with his socks

This is Waymore. He is a bit jumpy but if you leave him be and then let him sniff your hand, after he has relaxed, he will allow you a quick pat on his back and chin scratch.

Maybe we will see them again some time.

Now that I’m pretty comfortable with Fair Isle, I’m moving on to Stage II in my preparation to knit one Christmas gift. I know it’s a lot of work for one little gift, but it’s gonna be soooo cute!

Stage II is knitting mittens. As some of you may have noticed, I am, at heart, a sock knitter. Also, I live in California and it’s never really occurred to me to knit mittens before this. At any rate, the gift I’m planning will need both stranded knitting and a mitten-y shape. Having never knit a mitten before, I went to Knitty.com and found this Training Mitt pattern. Since Knitty’s Training Sock is where I got my sock knitting start (and now look at me!), I was pretty confident going into this.

The main bit I never really understood when reading mitten patterns was how the thumb worked. Well, this is how the thumb works. When you get to where you want it to go, you knit on some waste yarn like so:

After you finish up the finger parts of the mitten, you pull the yarn out voila, live stitches. At this point in the practice I was going “Ooooh, duh!” to myself. It seems pretty obvious now.

The side of the mitten you put the waste yarn on decides what hand it’s for (mine’s a righty). You pick up the stitches, knit the thumb in the round and you’ve got yourself a mitten!

My tiny mitten goes well with my tiny sock. I’ll probably keep them both around for a while. They make me kind of proud.

Kali, however, doesn’t understand why she, as a kitten, does not yet have mittens.

I have finally finished my Woodelves socks.  I cast these on Oct 3 and have slaved over / ignored them through vacations, new cats, depressions and other various distractions.

Here they are:
first a closeup:

Then the pair (this is the closest to the actual colour):

Knit from Hazel Knits Artisan Sock in Toad Lily (etsy shop here), this yarn practically begged to be knit in this pattern.
I love them and happen to be wearing them today.

Sidenote: New cat Oliver had to go back.  He just didn’t fit in with our family.    I’m getting over having kitty hugs every morning.

Thing number one: A chapstick cozy:

Pattern: Chapstick/Lip Balm Holder
Yarn: Lily Sugar N’ Cream, colorway was like, strawberry or somesuch.
Hook: F/3.75 mm
Mods: Probably? Added a loop to attach to my keychain.

It’s functional, and that’s great. Whee, always having chapstick! I’m totally addicted.

Thing number two: A spinning FO!

Fiber: Random wool I got with a spindle on Etsy. An ounce.
Weight: About sport, I think. 2 ply.
Yardage: About 40 yards to my rudimentary measurements.
Colorway: Raspberry

Probably this will become some sort of lacy cowl because I love lacy cowls. Probably with buttons so it doesn’t have to be wide enough to get over my head. The yarn actually came out quite soft, probably due to its SOAK bath. I bought the Ravelry edition from the minimart, and I LOVE the scent. Really, it’s great.

Thing number three: A WIP shawl:

I’m using some yarn I got in a swap (the Rainbow Swap if you recall). It’s a combo yarn with strands of cotton and silk. Here, look:

The true green is the silk, I think, and the white and the teal/blue are cotton.

The shawl is looking to be quite large, which I’m cool with. I want to do some lacy edging on the edge, but I haven’t found anything I like, so I might just have a boring triangle scarf. The yarn is the prettiest part anyway.

Coming soon: Probably the FO post for the shawl cause we all know I knit like the wind (Bulls-eye). Maybe those dino mittens. Maybe I’ll knit another hat. Who the hell knows. At this point, I’m thinking about my shawl and final projects. Classes are winding down for the semester, so I’ll be studying (sort of) for finals. Fun times. Don’t worry though: Crafting will happen. Plus there’s swap things. So stay tuned. : )

I’m very pleased with this one.  I bought the yarn in the January Sales – it’s Rowan Romance in the lilac colourway.  And it’s the first textured blankie I’ve made (ie not just garter stitch) I’ve made and is going to be a bedspread for my room, once I’ve been out to get a needle with which to sew away the ends.

Tre kompisar har en besynnerlig hobby – de planerar kupper in i minsta detalj utan att någonsin utföra dem. Istället är det en slags lek och ett sätt att få intellektuell stimulans. Allt är frid och fröjd ända till gangsterkungen Leo (David Suchet) av en händelse får nys om deras plan och utpressar kompisgänget att omsätta en av sina planer i verkligheten.

Jag har svårt att se varför filmen fått så mycket uppmärksamhet och uppskattning som den fått och varför kanadensarna lagt så mycket krut på exempelvis marknadsföring. Jag tycker den känns rätt b-ig och även om det mot slutet tog sig lite grann måste jag ändå vidhålla att det är en högst medioker produktion som känns mer gjort för tv-mediet än vita duken. Ryan Reynolds ses som en i trion av ljushuvuden medan övriga är tämligen okända kanadensiska skådisar.

Betyg: 2

This blankie is just a bit of fun.  It’s made from Sirdar’s Foxy yarn.
