Managing Multiple Projects

By sligo, on July 29th, 2008%

I had decided to try to do a little on each project each day, now that they are getting bigger and are slower going. But I can’t do it. I don’t enjoy changing from project to project in one day. I prefer to get a rhythm going on one and make to visible progress. So then . . . → Read More: Managing Multiple Projects Read more »

Ooh, pictures

By Melfina the Blue, on July 29th, 2008%

So, I finally got around to taking (bad) pictures of my new WIPs.

First, the Diamond Lattice Scarf (from Victorian Lace Today, and I believe the pattern’s called something like Scarf with Open and Closed Diamonds). I’m knitting this on size 5(US) instead of the recommended size 7s, so it’s far less lacy-looking than the original.

Then we . . . → Read More: Ooh, pictures Read more »

latest cast ons

By nolaboard, on July 29th, 2008%

I found one lovely skein of Cherry Tree Hill merino boucle in the Birches colorway half off at my LYS. I cast on for a very simple yo, k2tog stole– there is too much going on with the boucle texture and the many colors (foggy blue, rose, lime, white) to do anything complex.

I’m also knitting Anne . . . → Read More: latest cast ons Read more »

Campanula

I cast on the Campanula mitts for my sister using the rest of the Pagewood Farms Yukon from my Spring Forward socks. She’s not much of a lace gal so I hope she will . . . → Read More: Campanula Read more »

Monkey Socks Cast-On!

By judybll, on July 28th, 2008%

Now that “Whichy” has finally solve my password problem (THANK YOU), I’m having fun posting this afternoon! This year, I joined the All Raveled Up Sock group and purchased a year’s worth of very cool sock yarn, coming one month at a time, from Blue Hands Fiber. The owner/dye-er Tonk donated part of the proceedsd to . . . → Read More: Monkey Socks Cast-On! Read more »

Stuck on Scarves

By judybll, on July 28th, 2008%

Although I intended (still intend) to knit the Candle Flame Shawl (for which I’ve had the pattern and yarn for more than two years), I’m stuck on knitting lace scarves (and my Monkey socks, off and on). Here are my first three completed projects–two are made with KnitPicks yarn from their “wine” lace sampler (my Clematis . . . → Read More: Stuck on Scarves Read more »

Swallowtail 2.0

By SusanS, on July 28th, 2008%

I’ve started a second Swallowtail–I made one this spring, in fingering weight yarn, and decided I’d like to make one in lace weight. I’m using Posh Yarn Sophia, which is a pure, lush, and wickedly delicious cashmere:

In a shocking pink. There’s some slight variegation in the color, but I didn’t manage to pick it up with . . . → Read More: Swallowtail 2.0 Read more »

International Shawl (Fini)

By lacefreak, on July 27th, 2008%

Just a few shots now it’s dry. I’ve already packed it and I’m off to mail it to the woman who retired. I have one more skein of this yarn and I’m going to knit myself something that I will keep this time. Re-Cap-

International Shawl

Four women participated in planning this shawl. missalicefaye, fleegle, yorksett and myself. . . . → Read More: International Shawl (Fini) Read more »

No more Seaweed

By littlelena, on July 27th, 2008%

I finally finished the Seaweed Prince socks. They seemed to take forever. You can hardly see the lace even though the whole sock is lace! This yarn is very soft and nice, but it is not tightly spun so I’ll have to see how it wears.
