By Madame Purl, on July 6th, 2009 I finished La Novia last night. This is going to be one of those really warm, snuggly scarf. Just needs a good blocking now and it’s going to take a little while to pin it all out right. I think it will be worth it as it will open the pattern up.
So last [...]
By Madame Purl, on June 30th, 2009 So when I finished February Lady Sweater, which will get buttons soon, I picked up La Novia again and I’m almost done.
I’d probably be done a little faster, but I’ve been browsing the web looking at an old-timey past-time. Letter writing. I miss getting actual mail. Anyway I found this cool site [...]
By Madame Purl, on June 9th, 2009 I think I may have used up all my energy points this month already. I’m just flat out tired right now and have been trying to get to the blog, but between rest and blogging. Rest wins out, so this is a bit of a catch up post.
Last Friday I took the day off [...]
By Madame Purl, on May 29th, 2009 Another finished object for me… yeah! Actually it just took a while to get the pom-pom done. I’m not the best pom-pom maker. They are a bit fiddly, but perfect as a cherry on top. This cute little cupcake hat is for my one-year-old cousin. I hope she enjoys it.
Project info can be [...]
By Madame Purl, on April 24th, 2009 I can’t believe it’s been more than a week since I posted. Whoops. I feel like I’ve been everywhere. I know there’s just so much going on, but for the life of me I don’t know what. Last night I gave a talk/demo on spinning to the Hononegah Women’s group. We all had a blast. [...]
By Madame Purl, on February 25th, 2009 We’ve all had it happen. We look at a ball of yarn and make a decision and declare it will be this, only to find out the yarn wants to be something entirely different. This is what happened with some yarn I spun over the holidays. The Meret beret got frogged and now it’s becoming [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 19th, 2009 Another finished object and another crochet project.
Pattern: Crochet Newsboy Hat by Eileen Tepper. Available: from Ravelry and on Etsy. Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca – 2 skeins – matches my scarf.
Super easy and fun project. I did re-crochet the brim a couple of times to get my tension right, but other than that [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 12th, 2009 Another finished object this year already. Yeah!
Well my friend Cindy and I braved the snow to make our way to Mosaic Yarns for the Queen Anne’s Scarf crochet class.
This was my first time on the train to Chicago and we had a blast. We we arrived we planned on eating at a nice [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 11th, 2009 I’m just going to give you a preview… but it includes a train ride, a crochet class in the Chicago burbs, a started scarf, my DH getting lost to pick us up from the train, dinner in a strange little diner, and finally exhaustion. It ends with the scarf on my blocking board, but I’ll [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 4th, 2009 The beautiful rainbow singles that I spun were screaming at me to be knit up. So I wound the yarn and away we went. I picked out the multi-directional diagonal scarf (free) as the pattern and casted on 30 sts. Using size 9 needle.
This will be my easy mindless project for [...]
