My friend Randi declared she wanted to knit some Christmas things during the summer, and Alicia shared some of her holiday-themed yarn! I decided on some nice wristers to wear over the edge of my coat during the holiday, no thumbholes, just stretchy enough to pull back and see my watch. Cast on the cuff…
During ZK2021 from home, I shopped for some little beading kits and picked up this cute one. One session of stringing beads onto my yarn, another session of actually crocheting, and I have a bracelet! To note: I purchased this kit on Etsy, but still ended up having to go to Ravelry to redeem the…
Found a new-to-me fiber dyer on Etsy, DnD Fibers, and purchased 8oz of one colorway and 8oz of another to spin up. They are both 85% polwarth and 15% tussah silk. One colorway was a soft pink, a purple leaning pink, a steely gray, and white, and the other was soft pink leaning lavender, the…
To celebrate the wedding of my youngest brother, I wanted to make something pretty for their house. Nature inspired colors because they love hiking and being on the water. I had saved a really pretty version of the Vivid blanket and was inspired by the stained glass feel the knitter had gotten. I first tried…
Paired up some Suburban Stitcher yarn purchased at zk2017 with a pattern by my friend Megan, Summer Shandy. Cast on provisionally so I could add extra length from my extra yarn. Added gussets under the arms for more spaciousness. Accidentally stopped doing one of the sets of rows in the pattern, so it did not…
When my eldest niece was born, I wasn’t knitting yet. So she never got a blanket from me as a little one like most of the other kiddos did. When she graduated from High School and her AS degree at the same time, I wanted to knit her something special. This blanket is a color-blocked…
Happy birthday month to me! At zk2016, we got a rainbow of mini skeins and a bag to match for the goodie bag. My 45th birthday month seemed like the perfect time to finally knit them up! Using one of Julia weesheep’s patterns seemed like a nice match too because she is in all of…
Knit with handspun Sun Valley and their DK base to go with. Planned to continue handspun as far as needed instead of just in the yoke. Did not decrease in the underbust, but added more increases. Underarm patterning section is continued all the way down through handspun. I loved spinning this fiber and I loved…
Bought a selection of colors seen in nature and supplemented it with what was left in my baby yarn stash of the same base. Picked hexagons for being from the “Bee” family and game inspired because a lot of board games use hexes too. Most of the hexagons are a unique set of 3 colors….
