Flower Basket Shawl

I finished my Flower Basket Shawl by Evelyn Clark. Of her patterns that I’ve knit, this is by far my favorite. The pattern flowed very easily and I would have added more repeats if I didn’t run out of yarn. This is some Knit Picks Bare Merino fingering that I dyed a while ago. It is . . . → Read More: Flower Basket Shawl Read more »

Heartland Lace Shawl

I finally finished spinning the yarn and have cast on for the Heartland Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark. This shawl has special meaning for me, but I will go into that when I do my . . . → Read More: Heartland Lace Shawl Read more »

SOS 3

I’ve finished Hint One of the Secret of the Stole Three. I had a hard time getting into a rhythm with this one at first, but finally worked it out. Why do beads never show up . . . → Read More: SOS 3 Read more »

Red Scarf Project

Every year I want to make a scarf for the Red Scarf Project, but for one reason or another I always seem to miss the deadline. This year I am starting early. I picked this scarf pattern, a combination of lace and dropped stitches, because I thought it would appeal to a guy or a girl. . . . → Read More: Red Scarf Project Read more »

Remember This One?

Yes, I finally finished the Twilight Lace Wrap from Interweave Knits, Holiday 2006. For some reason I put it aside after I finished the first half and never got back to it. Now it’s done and is as soft and beautiful as I’d hoped it would be. It blocked out to 75 x 12 1/2 and . . . → Read More: Remember This One? Read more »

Another one

The Secret of the Stole III started today so I have another cast on. I know I won’t have this finished by the end of Summer of Lace because I won’t have all the clues, but here is the start. I am using Knit Picks gloss lace weight in celery and clear silver . . . → Read More: Another one Read more »

Flower Basket Shawl

I have some Knit Pick’s Bare Merino that I hand painted a long time ago and I’ve really wanted to knit it lately.  I’ve cast on for Evelyn Clark’s Flower Basket shawl from the Fall 2004 IK. The yarn has some great Autumn colors in it and I want to wear it to the Oregon Flock . . . → Read More: Flower Basket Shawl Read more »

Enchanting tumbling blocks

This pattern goes by many names, the pattern I used called it the Enchanting scarf. I only did two repeats of the pattern. It was easy to memorize. I wasn’t too happy with the four knots in the three balls of yarn it took, but you live and learn I guess. Total . . . → Read More: Enchanting tumbling blocks Read more »

Moving on

Sorry, I kinda fell into the Olympic hole, but now I’m back to posting. I finished my baby hat. I cannot find the link to the pattern as I printed it off a blog quite a while ago. I knit it in Knit Pick’s Merino Style in Frost, total 60 yds. I didn’t care for this . . . → Read More: Moving on Read more »

Baby days

One thing that did get me interested on my trip is that my niece told me she is having a baby in March. I’ve spent the last day or so on Ravelry checking out all the cute baby items. Being as she doesn’t know the gender, lace can be problematic. I cast on for this hat . . . → Read More: Baby days Read more »
