By Madame Purl, on April 8th, 2011 So I have not forgotten to knit. I’ve been working on the Northern Lights Shawl (a Rav freebie) with my newly purchased Sophie’s Toes Magic Ball in Preppy Girl. This is my project page if your interested in my notes.
I managed to whip up this large knitting bag and the shawl even on [...]
By Madame Purl, on September 17th, 2010 Who-hoo… a finished object. I finished my unscheduled Citron. Wonderful, easy knit…
I used just under 800 yards of fingering weight yarn. No bleeding this time off a hand-dyed. Yipee. I did 6 repeats and a longer ruffle on a size 4 needles. More details can be found at my project page.

By Madame Purl, on August 23rd, 2010 So glad that I didn’t frog this – totally has grown on me.
Just finished row 7 and section 4. Only have used about 1 ounce of yarn so far… so while it’s going quick now I suspect it will slow down at several hundred stitches. It’s so mindless and easy – a nice [...]
By Madame Purl, on August 22nd, 2010 Well, well…we’ve got a FO to show off today.
Love, love, love how this turned out. I have to admit the yarn is still bleeding, but still love it.
I started my Citron shawl, but don’t think this is going to work. It just seems a bit too busy. I’m thinking I’m going [...]
By Madame Purl, on August 5th, 2010 Poor Max needs a top knot trim. Every groomer we’ve had loves to leave his top knot high. The only problem is it falls over when it gets to long. They have a standing appointment at the groomer every 4-weeks. This time its 5-weeks because they have a dog show to go to, so their [...]
By Madame Purl, on June 10th, 2010 Look!!! Two finished objects this month so far… whohoo…
This is a lovely free Ravelry pattern – 198 Yards of Heaven. I used some love Karaoke that was a gift from my two knitting buds — Beverly and Dawn. I have two more balls that might become another one of these…because it’s perfect size [...]
By Madame Purl, on March 22nd, 2010 So our knitting guild is having a knit-a-long and one of the projects is this 198 Yards of Heaven Scarf (Rav link to Free Pattern). Well I’m at the 2.5 repeat point where I’m supposed to start the end pattern, but I think I’m going to keep going for another repeat or so.
I [...]
By Madame Purl, on December 1st, 2009 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. [...]
By Madame Purl, on November 29th, 2009 I nearly have a Multnomah… one more repeat to go. I decided to stitch on my crewel practice piece yesterday instead of wrapping this up.
I finally broke down and ordered a seat frame from The Crewel Work Company. I had a little b-day money left and I think since my right hand is [...]
By Madame Purl, on May 25th, 2009 So I’ve done a little blog housekeeping today. I’m sure I’ve should’ve been doing the regular type, but whatever, I’ll get to it… eventually.
You’ll see I have a new banner. Finally. I’ve had that one on my list forever to do. The basic really wasn’t cutting it. So that and a matching new [...]
