Bird’s Nest stole

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 »

Firmament at Midnight

Here I go again.  I started another project!  It’s the Firmaments Lace Shawl, a pattern available on WEBS.  I’m using Schaeffer Anne in Midnight.  I knit a bunch, frogged a bunch, and now I’m back on track.  I didn’t realize that I had to knit a row between each lace row in the first pattern.  Duh!

Checking In

I thought I had better check in to add my lace content to our blog. I am still knitting away on my Snowflakes in Cedarwoods shawl. I’m currently on row 17 of section G which means I still have a long way to go! I have 776 stitches on the needles and my rows are going . . . → Read More: Checking In Read more »

WIP

I’m on the home stretch on an afghan  for a friend of mine.  I had the 4 white strips done before seasons of lace and have completed the yellow and half of the green now.  I’m using Debbie Bliss cotton cashmere (furnished by my friend) and hate it!!  It’s got a wonderful feel, but it splits . . . → Read More: WIP Read more »

Olympic Gold

Who knew that someone so out of shape could win a gold medal.  In 16 days (I even finished a day ahead) I knit the Flirty Ruffles Shawl .  It’s the first time I’ve ever knit with 100% cashmere.  I’m hooked!

I literally bound off, stood up and had Honey take a picture.  There were needles lying . . . → Read More: Olympic Gold Read more »

I’m Back!!

I’m finally back!!  I didn’t fall off the face of the earth, but my computer did.  My internet died and it ended up being the blessed computer.  So I now have a wonderful new one!!  That being said….. it must have been my guardian angel frying that computer!!  I had enough time to finish my Ravelympics . . . → Read More: I’m Back!!

Lace and the Olympics

Yes, I’m an idiot. I signed up for the Ravelympics. I am knitting lace though, so it counts for Seasons of Lace. I’ve wanted to knit the Flirty Ruffles Shawl for a long time, so this may motivate me to start and finish it! Here is an extremely boring picture.

Niebling shawl finished

This is a pattern that has several names. Sellers on ebay calls it Phoenix Palme. The Lena mag the pattern came from calls it Rosa romantic (but it might be because they have the white tablecloth on pink cloth?). And others have dubbed it Mimosa for the mimosa tree since that’s what the leaves look like. . . . → Read More: Niebling shawl finished Read more »

Ready to Start – Finally!

Okay, I’m revved up and ready to knit for a Season of Lace.  I wanted to be fair and start and a logical place in my knitting.  I’m currently working on the Slow Bee I lace shawl (I guess I’m slower than a Slow Bee though).  Anyway, I had 4 lines to go to finish Clue . . . → Read More: Ready to Start – Finally!
