Coco has a sweater. This pattern is from Doggie Knits and is the Piccolo Sweater. I figured out that she has quite the little barrel chest. I realized I may not have made this large enough, but instead of ripping I decided the smart thing to do was to put in a gusset. This seemed to work out [...] 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 also getting this extra-warm EZ hat. I [...] So here we go… I finished up a pair of basic socks with some yarn I dyed a while ago. These have been hanging on for ages and ages, since I just worked on them a minute here and there. The eternal car sock project. Well… that feels good. Well… here’s all my finished projects for 2009. I should say everything that is completely finished in 2009. I have a few more that need ends woven in, but I’m not counting them because they are not totally done. So here I am celebrating 21 finished projects… I think my resolution for next year will [...] Finally I finished up Multnomah and even got the two ends woven end and blocked it. Love it… if I was to do it over again, I would put markers in between each repeat. I kept missing a YO here and there…fixable, but a complete PITA. I also got the turkey potpie fillings done. I made [...] 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 five pairs. Aren’t they [...] 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 with my [...] Here is the dyed version of the scarf I posted Saturday. The ends have been twisted and then the dyeing began. I think this has real potential to become interesting work. Here’s an up close of the fabric. As I suspected the two yarns took the dye differently… now of course I’m thinking of doing different patterns [...] I finished up two pairs of socks this week. These are just my basic simple sock knitting recipe, with afterthought heels. I have a love/hate relationship with afterthought heels. I followed the recipe, but it seems I have a short heel. So I pulled back and only went down to 16 stitches on each side and then [...]  |
