As promised, I have pictures of the finished, blocked shawl for you today. If you have an idea for what this one should be called, please be sure to leave me a comment before the end of the day. The person who comes up with the name I end up using will win a free […]
Yes, you heard right. The knitting is done (I stayed up until 1:30 am to do it!), the shawl is blocked, and the pictures have been taken. The pattern needs to be tweaked a bit, then it will be test knit. Then you’ll be able to buy the kit from Posh Yarn. I’ll let you […]
The dress is done. Border knit on, seam grafted, neckline and sleeves finished, ends woven in. And pre-blocking photos. I really need to get a little slip-on or zip up cover made for Nicole. The sheet adds ugly thickness to lacy little things, but you can get the idea anyway. Since none of these pictures […]
The second Línea de la Playa sock is finally finished. It took a while to knit it up, not because it was causing me any trouble—it was a good little sock—but because I used it as my Monday knit night knitting project. You know, when a sock is only knit on once a week progress […]
I have planned a great post for you, a recap of this year’s Stitches West fun and yarn and frivolity, but not for today. Today you get finished pictures of the shawl I’ve been working on, In the Summer Shade, a.k.a. The Bee Shawl. Yes, it’s done. Remember how I couldn’t decide what to do […]
First off, I want to thank each and every one of you who came out of lurk-dom to leave me a comment over the last couple of days. I truly appreciate the effort you took. It made my day. Truly.
In fact, I felt so good that I finally felted the clogs I knit back […]
The competition was fierce, but the scarf name poll had one clear winner, one that I happen to like quite a bit: cirrus. Like the cirrus clouds the scarf is light and fluffy. There’s one picture in particular on Wikipedia that’s perfect. It shows cirrus clouds behind the Golden Gate Bridge—the clouds wave back and […]
The socks are done
I’m not actually sure how to count this. In the end there are two finished socks. But along the way I knit three of them. I don’t know if you recall, but originally I knit the first sock with needles a size too big. Don’t ask. I have no idea why I […]
Amidst a flurry of activity, I released the market/string bag pattern yesterday, To Market.
The plan was to sell the pattern for a mere $5.00, but after looking into it, poking around on Ravelry, I decided that no one would ever make it, if I tried to sell it. There are just too many free […]
The knitting is done. I’ve proclaimed that the felting is done. Now it just needs to finish drying. The outside of the bag seems dry, but the inside is still quite wet. Yes, that is a definite stripe a bit under the handles. When I bought this yarn, years ago, I told the company I […]
