New Start

By txnana18, on September 9th, 2008%

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 »

I’m not quite sure when I’m going to get all the knitting I have planned done. Actually, I’m feeling a bit defeated after doing some stash organization this morning and realizing that my ambition has no basis in reality. However, I’m so excited about my most recent acquisition…

An unlikely development

By sligo, on August 31st, 2008%

I went to a friends house today to spin yarn for the first time since last year, when she taught me the basics on the wheel, which her husband built. Amazingly, I remembered how it went, and the creamy wool looks terrific on the bobbin. I’m fairly sure I’m going to be knitting these singles into . . . → Read More: An unlikely development Read more »

YIKES!!!

Knitting ADD (or Start-itis) strikes AGAIN!

I’ve been salivating over the lovely items in VLT and HAD to start something from it! It doesn’t help that I’m thinking about holiday gifts already…

So started swatching the lace pattern from the Harebell Fichu on several sizes of needles. It’s really a lovely pattern & fairly simple. Then decided to . . . → Read More: YIKES!!! Read more »

Hoping this works!

Maybe I have finally figured out what I have been doing wrong and will be able to post now.

I am casting off the lace garter…just about half done. If this post goes thru, I will take pics tomorrow and try to post about my efforts on this project.

I want to get back to working on my . . . → Read More: Hoping this works! Read more »

Flower Basket Shawl Idea

By Tammy Knits, on July 27th, 2008%

I saw the most interesting Flower Basket Shawl today while exploring some downtown yarn shops. It was knit with a combination of Trekking and Filatura di Crosa Superior (a lace weight cashmere/silk blend that has the appearance of mohair) making it a thick(er) snuggly garment. It was so soft! I would’ve never guessed that some basic . . . → Read More: Flower Basket Shawl Idea Read more »

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 »

Casting On & Heading Out

By Tammy Knits, on July 17th, 2008%

I’ve joined the party and started a pair of Spring Forward socks from the most recent Knitty. The pattern is quite addictive but I struggled with the 66 stitch count since it was too big for me. I finally got success with some TOFUtsie from my stash which is working up quite nicely.

I also found this . . . → Read More: Casting On & Heading Out Read more »

New Yarn and more projects

By JessieLynn, on July 17th, 2008%

My Knit Picks order came in yesterday! I also received my kit for the Peacock Feathers shawl! Talk about an exciting week! It’s time to get the ball winder out and get to work on the hanks!

There was a lot of organizing going on last night. I also made plans for some of my next projects. . . . → Read More: New Yarn and more projects Read more »

Trying again…

By dplantlady, on July 17th, 2008%

Let’s see if this works…

Well, there’s only a little picture icon, but maybe it’ll translate in the final post…here’s hoping!

I’ve decided NOT to make all the increases specified in the chart as I’m thinking that it’d probably turn out just too voluminous with this yarn…though I do so LOVE working with it!
