Last of the FO’s!!

By thislittlepiggyknits, on September 19th, 2008%

It’s sooo sad to think that this is almost over.

I finished the strips for the afghan I’ve named Splitsville. So named because the yarn split every other stitch (might be a bit of an overstatement). My friend is putting it together now and I hope to have pics later.

WIP

I’m on the home stretch on an afghan for a friend of mine. I had the 4 white strips done before seasons of lace and have completed the yellow and half of the green now. I’m using Debbie Bliss cotton cashmere (furnished by my friend) and hate it!! It’s got a wonderful feel, but it splits . . . → Read More: WIP Read more »

I’m Back!!

By thislittlepiggyknits, on August 20th, 2008%

I’m finally back!! I didn’t fall off the face of the earth, but my computer did. My internet died and it ended up being the blessed computer. So I now have a wonderful new one!! That being said….. it must have been my guardian angel frying that computer!! I had enough time to finish my Ravelympics . . . → Read More: I’m Back!! Read more »

One FO, One not so finished.

By thislittlepiggyknits, on August 4th, 2008%

I finished off my “I hate to swatch scarf”. I ended up using about 250 yds of lace weight and 1300 size 6/0 beads. (I can’t believe I used that many beads!!) It ended up being 8 inches X 66 inches. I’m probably going to work on the little loops that I put on each end. . . . → Read More: One FO, One not so finished. Read more »

Progress (into insanity!!)

By thislittlepiggyknits, on July 30th, 2008%

I got my yarn in for my Lyra!! It’s yummy!! I got 2500 yards of silk/wool from Josyln’s Fiber Farm in a Teal/Light Turquiose color. I decided that I really needed to swatch to make sure my 3′s were going to give me the fabric I wanted. One thing about me…… I hate to swatch!! So . . . → Read More: Progress (into insanity!!)

FO and progress report

By thislittlepiggyknits, on July 26th, 2008%

Finished up with the Sheep Shawl. It’s really hard to see against the sheet that I use to cover my “blocking board” (little foam tiles that I put on the bed and then pin out the shawl). I used Jagger Spun Maine Line lace weight. The pattern says that this is 1250 yds. Since I’m using . . . → Read More: FO and progress report Read more »

Shawl ADD strikes again!!

By thislittlepiggyknits, on July 20th, 2008%

I know, I have enough on the needles already. I just couldn’t help myself. I had this wonderful Mama Llama 50% silk and 50% merino wool in color Deep Purple lace weight stashed for this project (I know it calls for fingering, but I got it in my head that it was supposed to be lace . . . → Read More: Shawl ADD strikes again!!
