By Madame Purl, on April 18th, 2010 I love these projects that are like origami knitting. You start off Raveneli by knitting the collar in the round first. Then you do a little more knitting and then knit up the back. This is where I’m at right now. At least this yarn and this pattern seem very compatible. It’s always nice when [...]
By Madame Purl, on December 5th, 2009 So winter has for sure come upon us — it’s very clear and cold today. At least we are getting some sun today.
I started a Coco sweater – the cold weather has urged me on since squeezing her into her old coats don’t seem to be an option this year.
Unfortunately last [...]
By Madame Purl, on October 9th, 2009 Finally I put the buttons on my February Lady Sweater. Yeah!
I’m hoping the weather cooperates for Rhinebeck. I’d love to wear it out for the day.
This is my friend Beverly. She loves knitting socks. She’s the most prolific sock knitter I know. Wednesday night she was putting the finishing touch on [...]
By Madame Purl, on June 22nd, 2009 All blocked.
Just need to add the buttons, but I’m in no hurry since it’s going to be 90-degrees for the next few days. As soon it cools down, I’ll get a nice finished picture. I like these buttons. They match the triangle in the gull lace pattern.
I’m dreaming of my next [...]
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 April 15th, 2009 I know it’s April, but the February Lady’s Sweater continues. Finally.
I’ve made it to the pattern part of the sweater and I’m finally making progress. I’ve split off the sleeves and now it’s just down the body. I think it will fit. I keep going back and forth between the XS and Small, [...]
By Madame Purl, on March 7th, 2009 I know it’s been a week since I posted. Shame on me, but I’ve been conserving energy for a good reason. I’ve been feeling a little run down lately. I swear my office is filled to the brim with cold and flu bugs and even some knitting friends seem to have come down with it [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 1st, 2009 So today started off early as both DH and I got up and got going to head out to The Fold for the annual sale. Dawn and I wanted to be first one’s in and hurry up to get our purchases done and get out. If you haven’t been there for the sale it’s total [...]
By Madame Purl, on December 11th, 2008 So I didn’t mean to take a bloggy break. Life just kept getting in the way (still is for that matter) and every time I sit down to write this Coco seems to need to go out or someone needs something.
So let’s see where did we leave off…
The TV. Well the TV thing [...]
By Madame Purl, on November 12th, 2008 I know it’s Whisker’s on Wednesday. Tobey looks about the same, but he’s still not feeling well. I let him out of sick bay for awhile, but after he rewarded me with bad behavior, back in he went. You know when they don’t meow or bang the door they really are sick. I’ve called the [...]
