Over and Out

By textilejunkie, on September 22nd, 2008%

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…

My most recently finished item is my Melon Shawl done in Dream In Color Baby.

LLR’s Lace Disaster!

By llr, on September 20th, 2008%

I was almost finished… only about twenty more rows to go.

I was going to be able to finish this scarf in time to give it to my sister for her birthday….

The yarn had surprised me by just being wonderful! Easy to work with…soft…scrunchy…

And then….

I realized my puppy was in the house….

Where was she….

Oh no!

My test knit is on hold as the pattern needs some altering and I decided to cast on a new project to keep my hands busy. I chose the Swallowtail shawl and decided to use the leftovers from Julias previous test knit. Here´s the beginning

And today…. I´ve run out of yarn and the shawl look like . . . → Read More: next co Read more »

On the bright side, at least I’m a process knitter

Or “Gauge swatch? We don’t need no stinkin’ gauge swatch!”. A story in two acts.

Act one:

A lace ribbon scarf from Knitty, in Posh Yarn Emily in Primrose. This is actually the third project I’ve started with this yarn; it looks great as lace, but the skein only has 365 yards and the yarn is . . . → Read More: On the bright side, at least I’m a process knitter Read more »

Arg! Arg! Double Arg!

By escr, on July 24th, 2008%

I am soooooo annoyed! I made such great progress on my Icarus and it’s looking so good…. Then I come to find out that I will not have enough yarn to complete the project. But that’s not all! Turns out the Handmaiden 2 Ply Silk Cashmere that I’m using has been discontinued! So I can’t even . . . → Read More: Arg! Arg! Double Arg! Read more »

F2F

I started my F2F Mystery shawl today with 1093 stitches. They barely fit on my needles, but I did all right on my first row. On the second row though, I didn’t end up in the right spot on the chart. I now need to go back and look to see if I can . . . → Read More: F2F Read more »

Shooting Myself Would Be Easier

I’ve been knitting along and charting along and merrily alonging on Daedelus. Clearly, I’ve gotten overly confident, and the universe is letting me know.

Here is where I was this morning

Oh wait, no… that’s the isn’t my scenery to die for shot.
Here’s a better one of the shawl

WAAAAHHHHHH!!!

By emmasfabmom, on July 6th, 2008%

My trellis lace scarf…gone, gone, gone! I should have known better than to work on it while trying to get my 5-year-old to stay in bed. I got distracted, dropped a stitch, then couldn’t figure out where it was and how to pick up again. Mind you, I hadn’t gone far, but I’ve had so little . . . → Read More: WAAAAHHHHHH!!! Read more »

Day at the Pond

By birgit, on July 6th, 2008%

I´ve been spending my day at the well known frog pond

First I cast on the laminaria in my gorgeous cash/silk but I didn´t like the outcome with the needles and didn´t want to go down in size. And there isn´t enough yarn to knit in double. So i frogged that one. Then I CO . . . → Read More: Day at the Pond Read more »

Re-casting on

By mvo31, on June 28th, 2008%

Well, I finished my first chart one on Icarus and found a mistake a could not figure out, so I ripped it all out. I have my kids trained not to talk to me when I am doing lace, if only my husband would quit talking to me! Oh, well, I have just chalked it up . . . → Read More: Re-casting on Read more »
