By littlelena, on September 20th, 2008%

I know I just showed you clue five, but I wanted to get clue six finished to show you before the Summer of Lace ended. I usually divide the clues up by the number of days I have to work on it, so doing the entire clue in one day was a bit harsh. At any . . . → Read More: sots3 clue 6 Read more »

Bird’s Nest stole

By littlelena, on September 19th, 2008%

I finally finished my Bird’s Nest Stole from Folk Shawls. Even though it took quite a bit less yarn than the pattern called for, it still seemed to take forever to knit. It’s knit from Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Iris Heather. 2095 yds. Size 21″ x 79″. Nice . . . → Read More: Bird’s Nest stole Read more »

By sligo, on September 19th, 2008%

Here’s my last update post, with yardage, which obviously does not really matter as far as the competition goes, but I’m feeling pretty happy with how much I’ve accomplished. I am homeschooling the older two of my four young children and working on top of that, so the idea that any knitting at all got done . . . → Read More: What I have to show for my summer of lace Read more »

I finished the Summer Sampler Study from Bad Cat Designs yesterday, and it’s blocking today. I’ll get a photo of it draped on someone or something later for my final summary blog, but here are closer photos of the twelve patterns and the edging. This was a lot of fun to knit. I used this project . . . → Read More: Summer Sampler complete! Read more »

Update

By sligo, on September 10th, 2008%

I’ll be turning the third corner on my sampler stole tonight–only 65 repeats and two corners to go, and the repeats are actually going faster than I expected. I’m looking forward to having it done before the 2nd clue comes out for the MS4. I’m also looking forward to making progress on Isis. . . . → Read More: Update Read more »

I didn’t quite get this finished for the Ravelympics deadline, and it took me even longer to block it, but my stole, inspired by the sheen of the yarn and the ideas of water and the sea, is finally finished.

Pattern: My own, composed of motifs from the Barbara Walker stich dictionaries
Yarn: Briar . . . → Read More: il mare oscuro Read more »

Casting on again

By sligo, on September 8th, 2008%

I couldn’t resist this one, though I did try. Here is the Mystery Stole 4, from Pink Lemon Twist. I’m working on the second part now, and hope to be done both in time for clue 2. The yarn is Malabrigo laceweight in Sunset, which I absolutely adore. In fact, as I’m knitting I keep thinking . . . → Read More: Casting on again Read more »

Here is my beginning of Mystery Stole 4. This is another heavily beaded stole, so fun all around. I’m using Knit Picks’ Shadow in Juniper. You can’t see it yet, but there are lots of tiny, beautiful green beads on . . . → Read More: Mystery Stole 4 Read more »
