Finished Projects

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 [...]

A Few Finishes

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

Transitions

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.

Felted 1920s Cloche

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 [...]

Two More Finishes

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 [...]

Wintergreen Slugs

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… [...]

Two Finishes

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 [...]

Knitting Continues

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 [...]

Gretel is Done

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 [...]

Saturday Sky and Gretel

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 [...]
