This was a very fun project. I stuffed it with white floral styrofoam, which worked perfectly. This was based after Alan Dart’s Wedding Cake Pattern. I switch the top out tothe crochet rose pattern available free for on Ravelry. I also added a 5 stitch I-cord along the bottom. It’s off in the mail [...]

I think I may have now been knitting for so long that sometimes I read directions and my brain translates them to how it thinks it should be. I’m knitting the Wedding Cake from Alan Dart. Well, for some reason I looked at this and my brain said – hmmm…must be knit in the round, [...] I’m making progress with Max’s Yoda Sweater… he’s going to look so cute in this one. The top – The bottom – So far I’ve knit 27 out of 57 diamonds and half-diamonds. 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.

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 night’s work [...] 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… whoops.

Last Tuesday I had the works sinus surgery, including fixing the deviated septum and have been spending my time laying around the house in a Vicodin-induced haze recovering. Yesterday, I was able to get my packing [...] This week blew by. I can’t believe it’s Friday already. I must be in a high creative time because I’ve been crafting up a storm lately. Here’s some examples – 175 yards of Aran to bulky weight of lovely CormoX – Pia. I want to make the Truly Tasha Shawl. I’m thinking this is going [...] I’ve been looking online at all of the Chinese New Year celebrations going on. Looks like the year of the Ox should be a good one, let’s hope so. I knitted up two dishcloths over the weekend. We’re having a little party this week with the knitting group. It’s a Winter Celebration. We’re doing a [...] So some of the earlier dishcloths I’ve made are looking quite ragged, so I had to whip up a couple new ones. I tried out a simple pattern found on Ravelry and I really like it. It’s make a nice and squishy dish rag. It’s a freebie found on Twisted Loops Blog. Also had delicious [...]  |
