I haven’t ripped out the huge bag yet. I did some poking around on Ravelry, and found Angela’s Fabulous Felted Bag (on Ravelry). Before and after felting sizes, and gauge are all listed on the pattern. I had one little thing that I wanted clarified, asked, and received a very nice response from Angela within […]
The socks
I’ve loved knitting cables from the very start. A simple cable looks so complicated, but in reality is quite easy to knit. Complicated cables, when broken down, line by line, are still simple to knit. The best part is that they’re immensely satisfying.
Take this cable for instance. Looks terribly complex, but each section […]
With a colorway called Earnest, how can I not think of the delightful story The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde while I’m knitting up this yarn? I haven’t ever read this story—I must read it some day—but I’ve seen the movie a number of times. I love the version with Rupert Everett, Colin […]
The mitts are actually done now, but these photos are from yesterday morning, when they weren’t quite done yet. As you can see, there wasn’t much left to be done on them. Finishing them up didn’t take long at all.
Since I was nearly done, I took a moment or two to wind up the […]
I don’t have much for you today. The knitting projects have grown. They don’t look much different than they did yesterday, especially the bag, at least not to a camera’s eye.
I did get something fun in the mail yesterday, though. I’ve talked about Book Mooch a number of times, and all the fabulous books […]
It was way too hot over the weekend to knit much of anything, especially anything with any bulk at all. It was also too hot to think much. Certainly too hot to dig through stitch pattern books, chart, plan, swatch, and think.
Since I already had a very specific plan for the Tenaya mitts, I […]
Huge, huge thank-yous to everyone who voted in my little sock-naming poll. I loved every vote, including all the write-ins from folks who voted “other.” Quite a few write-ins were for the yarn color, Figgy Pudding. Other write-ins included Lacy Ladders (Jan is sadly blogless); ZigZag River, Zig Zag Railway, Traverse, and Traverse Trail (Kristie); […]
I’ve been a sock-knitting maniac lately. Got the gusset done on the second (still nameless) sock yesterday, and a bit more besides. I’m going to be so glad to have these socks done. They’ve been a thorn in my side since I first cast on in what? Early March? Ugh.
The first sock is a […]
Merced is ready to go. Thank you Kristie for proof reading the pattern for this sock. The pattern is available as a .pdf download in my pattern shop and on Ravelry for $5.00.
ETA: Oops. Turns out I set everything up over at e-Junkie, except I forgot to upload the .pdf file! It’s there now, so […]
I don’t want to think too hard on it, be too positive or certain, because I know if I do it’ll come back and bite me. But I think, I hope, that I have finally hit on a pattern stitch that works with the Figgy Pudding sock yarn.
The ribbing can pool all it wants. […]
