Dee at Posh Yarn received the Tilia patterns that I sent her before running off to TNNA. She’s kitted them up with 26 glorious colors of her luscious Diana yarn, and will be selling them starting at 8 pm UK time on Wednesday. The official preview will go up on her site tomorrow (Tuesday), but if […]
As far as lace shawls go, Midnight Garden is about as far as you can get from Domus Aurea. Well, about as far as I’ll probably go, anyway. Midnight Garden is a triangle instead of a rectangle; it’s knit with fingering weight yarn instead of a fine lace weight; when the knitting’s done there are […]
Done. Blocked. Photographed. Pattern released. All done. And I love it. I love it more now than I did when I was knitting it. I got bogged down in the middle (low threshold for boredom, very, very low), but once I got past that part there was no stopping me. Just look at it on […]
Quite a few of you suggested names for my new shawl. They’re all wonderful. In no particular order, here’s the list. Vote for your favorite one. I’ll leave the poll up through the weekend, so you’ve plenty of time. As usual, this isn’t a democracy—if I find that I like one more than the one […]
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, it’s finally here. In the Summer Shade is finally available for purchase in my pattern shop.
The Wright-inspired shawl is coming along, though I didn’t get anywhere near as much done on it yesterday as I wanted to. You can start to see where I’m going with it, I think. You should get a bit of a hint from this picture, anyway.
Doesn’t my little helper have the most adorable feet? […]
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 […]
I’m not done knitting my own second sock yet, but I’m far enough that I’m confident the bugs are out of the pattern. So, the second pattern release of the week gives us Línea de la Playa. This sock pattern is knit from the top down, and comes in three sizes. The stitch instructions are […]
You’ve seen the pictures. Now you can get the pattern from my pattern shop or on Ravelry. Kristie kindly test knit it for me, and pronounced it ready.
