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!

I’ve already done the pretty . . . → Read More: 1 down, 1 to go. Read more »

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

By hilltopkatie, on September 6th, 2008%

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.

There is still time…I think

By JustdotChristina, on September 3rd, 2008%

More socks

By Ronda, on August 26th, 2008%

I just can’t get away from the socks! Mom saw the one I’m doing for me… and asked for some, so I put mine aside to knit hers while she is visiting. She is diabetic and a dialysis patient so I want to make sure they fit her well.

I’m using the Ridged Feather pattern from Sensational . . . → Read More: More socks Read more »

I’ve just got back from a week in Pembrokeshire and finished my Ravelympics wrap on the Friday just before we came home, so I’ve just squeezed in under the deadline! Here’s a poor attempt at a finished arty photo draped over a cliff, the others were far worse! It’s currently filling all of the single bed . . . → Read More: Ravelympics wrap all wrapped up.

A little lace

By Ronda, on August 22nd, 2008%

This is what I’m up to now… These are the Lacy Mock Cable socks. I started these back in the summer of 2007. The yarn (Fleece Artist Merino) was given to me by a knitting friend and she was going to China to pick up her adorable adopted baby girl… So, I thought I’d knit some . . . → Read More: A little lace Read more »
