Luskentyre :: Status Report
January 7, 2004 08:35 AM
Last week, I imported a bunch of very old blog entries and organized them into categories. Two years of off and on blogging about my plans to finish Luskentyre shamed me into pulling the project out and working on it. Back in October, I realized that my pattern was... more -»

The sweater that would never die...
October 27, 2003 10:19 PM
Has anyone ever ripped out a fair-isle sweater knit from two-ply shetland wool? I know that I could make a pillow out of this, but I'm not sure that I could stand to look at it. Ideas? ok! Here is the scoop: I started this sweater somewhere around the... more -»

Testing Trackback

And admiring Marina. Yes, I am one of the fortunate knitters who bought the Scottish Collection for $14.95 back when it was first published. I also purchased the yarn for Luskentyre at the same time (and it's still not finished). Times and taste change, but Marina is still one of... more -»

A Luskentyre Swatch

I've been working on the Luskentyre sweater from A Scottish Collection for many years now. It's getting to be an old and boring story! I have to get myself motivated to finish this sweater as I'm sure it's going to be very pretty. The colors remind me of ice... more -»

it's 5:00 and instead of going home, I'm taking a break to blog! Last night I continued knitting on Luskentyre - two rows. I'm not sure how long it takes the average knitter to progress on a fair-isle sweater, but I seem to go fairly slow! Of course, if my... more -»

Approaching the neck on Luskentyre. Progressing faster than I ever would have thought!... more -»

ASOF motivation!
April 25, 2002 12:48 PM
Thanks to the ongoing motivation and support from my fellow Asofians, I've been moving along quite well on my "Luskentyre" sweater. Last week I started the steeks for the armholes and have completed approximately 3 inches of the body since then. Quite an accomplishment for me. I've definitely learned my... more -»
