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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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. [...] 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 [...] If you’ve been following my knitting mishaps for a while, you’ll know that hats are my kryptonite. Two hats done… no ripping back… Pow! Take that hat knitting nemesis. One Baroness Beret for Mom – Free pattern a la Ravelry.
One Simple Hat… scarf casted on again for Mom. This is from [...] I was very pleasantly surprised at the nice buttons I found at JoAnn Fabrics. They have a really nice new selection of modern buttons that worked great with the hats. They are now winging their way East. I would definitely make this pattern again. Specs on these - Knitpicks – Shine worsted in Grass and [...] Well I have to give Knit Picks props… the yarn color matches exactly. I can’t see a variation at all. Yeah! The two hats are done except for a nice button on the side, which I hope to pick up Friday or Saturday and will get a final pick up then before they get [...] |
