Finished things!
6 September 2008Pattern: Petal Bib from One Skein
Yarn: Bernat Cot’n Corn in Avocado
Needles: 4.0 mm bamboo
Too cute. I really like the pattern–the details kept me interested, but it wasn’t so involved that I had to turn off the TV to concentrate. The yarn was a pleasure to work with, too, and the whole […]
Glorious.
29 August 2008The box I teased with yesterday contained an Ashford 24″ rigid heddle loom. I assembled it four hours ago and I’m already in love. I also have a pink scarf.
Yarn: Less than a skein of Manos del Uruguay
Dimensions: 5.5″ x 46″, including fringe
And here it is in its unwashed and unblocked glory. […]
FOs and new projects!
9 August 2008Pattern: Verity by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: About half a skein of Fleece Artist Blue Face Leicester Aran
Needles: 4.5 mm
I wish I’d managed a better photo, but gorgeous pattern + lovely yarn = fabulous beret. The stitch pattern for the band looks like seed stitch, but it’s a slipped-stitch pattern that makes for a […]
FO (and new pattern) — Mineco
11 July 2008Pattern: Mineco
Yarn: 3 balls of Bernat Organic Cotton in Prairie Rose
Needles: 5.0 mm circular & DPNs
Hook: 4.5 mm
I love how there are six dozen patterns for cotton totes and I choose to knit none of them. I wanted something that wasn’t quite as large as most of them, something I could knit in the […]
FO — Silk Garden Mini Mitts
27 June 2008Pattern: Design 8 from Noro’s Designer Mini Knits
Yarn: Less than one ball of Noro Silk Garden in #211
Needles: 3.75 mm and 4.5 mm bamboo
I needed something to get the mojo going again, so a small (but not dishcloth-shaped) project was in order. I knit the pair in a few hours this afternoon, and other […]
Photos and splurges and moving and knitting and and and…
18 May 2008I promised a modelled photo of my cropped cardigan, didn’t I.
Love it.
Insert dramatic entrance here.
9 May 2008Formal classes are over, and all that remains is a two-week span of practical exams, written exams, and project deadlines. I’ve been working like a mad thing but keeping the stress under control, which is an accomplishment in and of itself as far as I’m concerned.
There are daffodils outside my window.
I’ve started packing up […]
FO — Half-Pipe Hat
11 April 2008Pattern: Half-Pipe Hat from Son of Stitch ‘n’ Bitch
Yarn: 2 skeins of Mirasol Sulka in 204 (Cocoa)
Needles: 5.0 mm circs
Quick, easy, and cute. I cast on last Saturday at work, and finished this afternoon between customers.
There’s plastic canvas folded into the brim for shape. Note the pink pins–the hat’s still wet. I […]
Brainsplodes, plus knitting.
30 March 2008Note to self: studying can, indeed, hurt the brain. I’ve been concentrating so intently all morning that I now have a wicked tension headache–I got wrapped up in what I was doing and didn’t notice the time passing, therefore didn’t take regular mini-breaks. I’m taking a break now, though, to give the […]
A cloud, a silver lining, and an FO.
27 March 2008I have both good news and bad news. Bad news first: the city hospital neither wants nor needs technicians at this time, and that includes OJT students. I’d hoped to stay here in Moncton, but that’s not going to happen. Instead, I’m heading back to where I came from, to a […]
FO — Tasselled Hat
23 March 2008Pattern: Basic Hat with rolled brim and braided tassel from The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns
Yarn: 1 skein of Manos del Uruguay in #115
Needles: 5.0 mm bamboo 16″ circ & 5.0 mm DPNs
Shop sample! I decided to kill two birds with one stone and show off a new-to-the-shop book with a new-to-the-shop yarn […]
FO — Kureyon Mini Mitts
6 March 2008Pattern: Design 8 from Noro’s Designer Mini Knits
Yarn: One ball of Noro Kureyon in #134
Needles: 3.75 mm & 4.5 mm bamboo
The pair’s a shop sample, so I followed the pattern exactly as written; otherwise, I’d have knit them in the round rather than flat. I do like the way the thumbs were inserted, […]
FO — Lemon-Lime Leaf Lace
26 February 2008Pattern: Leaf Lace Shawl by Fiber Trends
Yarn: 1.5 skeins of Araucania Nature Wool in Lemon-Lime
Needles: 5.5 mm 32″ circ
Last night, I pawed through the stash and WIPs in anticipation of knitting soon. I came across the shawl that I’d put into hibernation in December, and discovered… that all I had left to knit […]
