The details: Yarn: Bartlett Yarns sport-weight fisherman's wool Color: Blue Heather Gauge: About six stitches per inch Pattern: Mitten from Ann... more -»

I love Daylight Savings Time
April 3, 2005 05:31 PM
Just in case you wondered. Tonight it will stay light an extra hour due the the miracle of administrated time. Yeah! This is always great news to a non-morning person. More color, this time in a recently completed, knitted project: The Noro Kureyon scarf. I bought this yarn at webs... more -»

Full Size Shedir
March 24, 2005 12:04 AM
The Shedir Hat from the Knitty Fall 04 Surprise supplement. If you've knit Rogue or this hat, then you know that Jenna is a pattern designer extraordinnaire. The chart and instructions for this hat are flawless. The yarn is Frog Tree Alpaca. Very soft but not very springy. I... more -»

Guest Projects
March 4, 2005 08:48 PM
My friend Reda (who doesn't have a blog) just finished two felted purse projects. I don't have anything interesting in the knitting department, so I'm extremely pleased that she has some wonderful projects to share. A neat french market bag. And one of the cover purses from the book Pursenalities.... more -»

Mittenettes = Finished. Inspired by: Missa's free pattern. Yarn: Lorna's Laces Worsted Weight Wool in the color Gold Hill Needles: Double-pointed US size 6 (or about, I didn't check them, but they seemed right) I made a few modifications.

Yarning!
August 22, 2004 04:52 PM
Remember this roving? I dyed this in the crockpot back in May. It's been slow going on spinning this up, but I finally finished it this weekend. In progress - above is one bobbin and some of the little pre-drafted bundles of fiber that are ready for spinning. The top... more -»

Impressionistic
March 23, 2004 11:10 PM
Kerstin asked me if I had ever knit anything for my step-mom before. I have. I made her some socks out of Lion Brand Homespun. They were one of the first pair of socks that I ever knit. I'm not even sure if I checked the gauge or questioned my... more -»

Cabled Homespun Scarf
January 11, 2004 01:18 PM
There is a lady (bizyhands) on ebay who spins the most amazing yarns from hand-dyed rovings. These yarns are so gorgeous and reasonably priced, that I have made several impulse purchases. What to do, what to do with these beautiful yarns? I thought that a scarf would be perfect... more -»

Finally Finished
December 12, 2003 10:55 AM
I started these socks back in September and they have slowly progressed since then. Twelve hours of air travel over the past weekend got me right up to the finish line and last night I sewed in the ends and wa-la, they are complete. Modeled most elegantly (cough) by... more -»

Mitts
November 24, 2003 10:27 PM
Finished the mittens, knit with the yarn that I spun from the Indigo Moons fiber that I bought at Rhinebeck. The yarn is merino, silk and either alpaca or llama. It's so very soft and delicious. I use the mitten pattern from Ann Budd's book that I referred to... more -»

Indigo Moon Fiber
November 15, 2003 09:09 AM
close-up Last night I finished spinning my little pile of Indigo Moon Alpaca-Merino-Silk fiber. So luxurious and just in time for a much needed pair of soft, warm mittens. Yes, this is from the same batt of beautiful fiber that Kerstin also just spun!... more -»

Hip Hop Head
November 9, 2003 03:53 PM
My knitting these days seems to be limited to little projects that I can finish quickly. A couple of months ago, I bought a pile of Mission Falls 1824 wool to make a couple of these hats for my niece and nephews. Here is the first one - it's... more -»

BoogaJ
November 6, 2003 03:38 PM
The pattern, the yarn and the inspiration make resistence impossible. I got on the BoogaJ bandwagon with no looking back! A great little pattern, amazingly quick knitting and to this novice, noro knitter a great surprise: Kureyon felts into a magical fabic which is nothing like what would be... more -»

Finished Skein
October 28, 2003 11:20 PM
This is the finished skein of mohair/wool that was started in this post. The fiber is from Fantom Farm and was a dream to spin. Update! Here's a little more info about this yarn. It has about 19 wpi. The skein weight is around 4 ounces and I'd estimate... more -»

Recipe for Easter Egg Yarn. Take some easter-egg-pellet-dyed pink roving and spin up a bobbins worth of singles. Then take some easter-egg-rainbow-dyed roving and spin that into another bobbins worth of singles. Ply. Fun. Very pink and pastelly. Next up, jewel tones! As requested, here is a what this... more -»

Bears
September 30, 2003 10:50 PM
Two Cuddly Bears The company that I work for is asking employees to dress up a bear or two for holiday donations. I made this bear an aran sweater. I think he's pretty happy with it. All he needs is a pair of pants and he'll be ready for the... more -»

Lighthouse Socks
September 19, 2003 03:40 AM
Since I haven't made enough progress on Inishmore or Checkers that is significant enough to post about, I'll post a couple of updates on past projects. I made these socks for my dear sister-in-law last Christmas. They may have been the first project ever actually completed for the intended... more -»

Back to Knitting and Blogging
September 9, 2003 08:33 AM
After finishing the River Grass Gansey, I've been highly motivated to start AND complete a few new projects. Project Priority One (PP1) is a promised sweater for my dear SIL. The original plan was to make Alice Starmore's Cape Cod (Link is to Flor's Cape Cod with beautiful details), but... more -»

Sherbet 5-Hour Baby Sweater
March 2, 2003 03:34 PM
One of my friends had a baby girl last fall, so I figured I would try out the five hour baby sweater pattern and use this beautiful yarn. I figured my gauge was about right, but didn't check too closely. As it turned out, the yarn was scrumptious to knit... more -»

Pink Washcloth
September 4, 2002 07:16 PM
The Lace Sampler Project Yahoo group, revolves around the knitting of lace patterns from Susanna E. Lewis' book, Knitting Lace. The idea is to practice knitting lace on a sampler project. Even if you are not doing the sampler, it's a fun place to share lace knitting experiences. For the... more -»

Flacon
August 8, 2002 08:46 PM
Knit, crochet, wash, starch, block, ta-dah! Here is the pattern. This was very easy and quick! I was so surprised. Lessons learned: 1. Practice crochet stitches.     My stitches around the edge were very uneven. 2. Learn how to weave in the ends on lace.     It's one thing to weave in... more -»

Sporty Sockies
July 16, 2002 10:00 PM
Here is one of the socks knit with the short row heel style that I described in the previous post. I started this sock because I was inspired by Rebecca's socks that she has pictured on her photo page. Then I found out that she sells her patterns, so I... more -»

Whitby Socks - Completed
June 15, 2002 01:22 PM
Finished the Whitby Socks. This design is from Nancy Bush's book, Knitting on the Road. I used a strand of Lorna's Laces Sock yarn (#74 Mother Lode) and a strand of Novita Florica. I was having trouble with the tiny stitches required to get a nice fabric with just... more -»

April 27, 2002 10:53 AM
Well, I persevered and got this MT "personal publishing system" working last night. For anyone else interested in using the Movable Type blogger, here's a hint - be sure that your ftp server copies files up to your web server with the same capitalization as the original files. I would... more -»

Regia Crazy Hat
December 9, 2001 06:02 PM
I'll make the Regia Crazy 6-ply my YOD (yarn of the day). Why? There were a few complaints about it on Knitlist (or was it Socknitters, it's all just a blur), but I personally liked knitting with this yarn. First I made the hat, which was just like the one... more -»

frog-o-mania!
December 8, 2001 12:52 PM
Last night was frog-o-mania! I was finishing up a pair of kid's mittens with the Regia Crazy colours that I also used for the Crazy Hat. It's making very cute little mittens. The stripes are just adorable. So, after I finished the first mitten - with no major problems -... more -»
