One Last Project

I went to a family gathering yesterday not realizing the date for final submission was the 23rd. While there, I cast on another lace dishcloth so I’d have something to keep my hands busy while we sat around chatting. (Many of us ladies are in the habit of bringing piecework.)  Anyway, here is a photo of . . . → Read More: One Last Project Read more »

Over and Out

I can’t believe summer is over and fall is here already.  Although I did not meet all my lacey goals I’m happy with what I did get done – I’ve just been really bad with updating anything lately.  Sooo with that…

I had this lone ball of Hayfield Kimono lying about the house with nowhere to go.

a little nothing

Remember I got stuck with the test knit? Remember I did run out of yarn with the following wip? You know what helps? Yarn shopping. And then pattern shopping. So here we go again: Alhambra by Anne Hanson at Knitspot. (No it´s not the only pattern I bought) The yarn is from Old maiden Aunt and  . . . → Read More: a little nothing Read more »

I finally decided on a pair of socks for my daughter after purchasing some Panda silk. The name of this pattern is Come Dancing.

Upstairs

This is most likely going to be the last lace item for this “Season”.  It is Upstairs by WollSchnegge.  I am using the English version of the pattern that is at Ravelry.

I started it Sept 3rd and have been knitting away on it to get it finished.  I’m not quite half way done.

The yarn is Knit . . . → Read More: Upstairs Read more »

Hopelessly devoted . . .

Cast-on on Monday:
