One last FO

I finished my Diamond Latttice scarf this morning.  Sadly, I will not be able to post a fo picture.  My mom put the camera someplace safe and now has no idea where it is.  Here’s a random picture of it earlier…

Anyway, 350 yrds down, bringing me to a grand total of either…(FOs only)

My first shawl

Believe it or not, this shawl has less than 350 yards of luscious wool/silk yarn – details of which can be seen at my Ravelry link.

I couldn’t believe it knitted up so quickly!  I will be tackling another shawl . . . → Read More: My first shawl Read more »

LLR’s Los Monos Locos Socks

I started these 7/15/08.  I’m realizing too late that I didn’t ever post a “Cast On” post for these projects.  But anyway, at least I’m getting them posted for “Finished Objects.”  And they just barely make it into the “Small lace knitting by size” category!

I actually LOVED working this pattern.  I even had to revise it . . . → Read More: LLR’s Los Monos Locos Socks Read more »

A Newbie Wee FO – Amanda hat

I started this hat July 1st.  Here’s my Ravelry link for all the details and extra pictures.  It was definitely a learning experience, but I think I’ll probably actually wear it this Winter!  I call it my Himalaya hat because the yarn is Himalaya Yarn from Tibet!  And it has bits of bright colorful silk thrown . . . → Read More: A Newbie Wee FO – Amanda hat Read more »

New Start

I lost my love for the Juno Regina  after backing up too many times.  This is supposed to be fun isn’t it?  I bought the Oh! Canada pattern and will swatch . . . → Read More: New Start Read more »

1 down, 1 to go.

I cast off the first of my Kaibashira lace socks last night, and immediately cast on the second. I really love this pattern it knits up so very quickly and I can do it n pattern repeat chunks and then make myself go and do the things that you need to do!

Schizophrenia

Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with lace?

While I am new to this, I find the following scenario being repeated over and over and over again:

Casting on with lace weight yarn for the first time, there was immediate intimidation.  A few rows into the project, my confidence began to grow and I thought:  “I love . . . → Read More: Schizophrenia Read more »

Kaibashira lace socks

Remember these? I finally ordered the replacement needles so have picked these back up again. I took them to school with me yesterday as I knew I’d have a quiet day while there are no A-level student in. Looks like it was a good call, I’ve already turned the heel and done the gusset.
