Rather than using the cable pattern in the SNB book, I really liked lixolux’s picture and so I tried making a 6 stitch plait (from Knitting on the Edge). That worked out great, I just had to adjust where the cable started by moving a few stitches between the needles, and a little more adjusting…
I really love this, every time I look at the pattern, I want to make it more. I think it would be soft and comfy and I love the tie. This pattern ended up being really good. I used the modified suggestion to make long sleeves, and even went about a 1/2” longer than the…
I’m using two strands of homespun with one strand of premier. I started with 2 baroque strands, then changed to 1 purple and one tudor, and the 2 tudors, and so on. Update, end of October: I decided to make this longer, as I miscalculated the amount of premier I had (more than I thought),…
This was SUCH a fun project. Making all the small pieces was fun, and even sewing it together was easy. A little time consuming, but not hard in front of the TV. I’d certainly make this again if there were a special little kid in my life who liked Turtles! My only modification from the…
I love this pattern and purchased tan, green, and plum colored yarn for it. Started mid-September. Update: Finished sock one on October 16th. Updated 2/08: I’m about 1/2 done with the second sock. HIBERNATING. I’m tired of these! My guage is looser than I’d like, the weaving of the yarn for the stripes takes more…
I’m making these for a library basket which will be auctioned off to raise money. Started September 6th. I have not yet decided what to use for the coordinating color. I may just use a carrying weight fur but only on the outside rather than as a lining. I’m teaching myself to cable without a…
The Fort Vancouver Regional library is going to have an auction of an afghan made from practice squares from people in the library knit-in group. Many of the squares are just garter stitch, so I thought I’d add a few patterns in. I got a skein of Wool-ease and ear-marked it for this purpose. Float…
A set of easy dishclothes for my sister. First time using this pattern, and it was really easy. I even jazzed it up with stripes!
My first knitting project! A simple k1p1 after trying a variety of ideas of stitches.
I made a set of potholders for my mother-in-law for just a nice gift for letting us come and stay at their house for a week.
