By Madame Purl, on April 17th, 2011 I’ve been working really hard to finish up some really old projects. They had been WIPs way too long and that had to come to an end.
In a finish or frog it decision I decided to felt this mitten and make it a cat toy. It was too big and I was not [...]
By Madame Purl, on March 3rd, 2011 I have a few finishes under my belt this year that finally have been photographed. Yeah!
I knew you were all worried I abandoned knitting and it’s been nothing but quilting, quilting and more quilting, but as you can see there was no need to worry.
First Wildflower Lace
Next Heart to Heart

By Madame Purl, on January 3rd, 2011 My friend dyes up this great yarn – Gypsy Girl – Transitions. Whoops I shouldn’t have looked at the page because there is another one I want. Anyway – It’s been calling to me and finally I decided to cast it on. I’m doing Evelyn Clark’s Wildflower Lace Scarf.

By Madame Purl, on January 19th, 2010 So it seems that I’m doing everything but blogging around here. I’ve been writing, working on my class, crewel embroidery, and knitting up a storm. I have a little coat nearly done for Coco, but I’m not 100% happy with it. I’m going to keep going and hope it looks cute once I’m done. I’m [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 7th, 2010 So I have two more finishes… a long and painful one and a quick knit one.
First the this is the Cocoon scarf, knit with Kidsilk Haze which is not one of my favorite yarns.
However, the finished project is very lovely as Madison agrees. This is going to Mom.
She’s [...]
By Madame Purl, on December 4th, 2009 Not together of course…
First up I changed the colors to purple, white and black for the Wintergreen Gloves (free Rav Pattern).
These are coming along, but a little neglected at this point.
Another neglected project are my slugs. I want to do two more and his one still needs lips and eyes… [...]
By Madame Purl, on October 5th, 2009 First off – finally got a picture of me in Gretel.
I blocked it out and I’m glad now I didn’t make the slouchy. This is just the regular. I’ve thought about re-wetting it and getting down to a smaller size. Alpaca does block out well. Please excuse the crazy picture. I took with [...]
By Madame Purl, on September 30th, 2009 Since I had nearly a whole ball left after finishing Gretel, I decided that I needed to make a pair of Fetching. You know…the ones that everyone has made. I have to say – the more I work with this KnitPicks yarn – the more I’m liking it. I can see a gorgeous, cozy sweater [...]
By Madame Purl, on September 21st, 2009 I loved this hat the first time I saw it. Since, I’m a hat person it was just a matter of time until I knit it. After a little break when I knit the socks for my swap pal, I got back to it and it worked up fairly fast. It is a little tricky [...]
By Madame Purl, on July 18th, 2009 I’ve been wanting to try the new City Tweed by Knit Picks and thought Gretel would be the perfect project to test out this yarn. I would just hate to do an entire sweater and have it fuzz up or something. I’m just a little concerned that the alpaca is going to cause shedding. I [...]
