Reclaiming the yarn from a previously frogged project. Started several swatches and ideas yesterday, hope to pick something today. Testing the following, about 2” of swatch and it looks good. Trellis Lace, p 116 from Lace and Eyelets (edited by Erica Knight): CO 37: R1: K4, yo, sl1, k2tog, psso, yo, k3, k1 R3: K1,…
Almost done to use at Disneyland, but the finishing work didn’t quite make it. Crocheted the sides together with the strap. I wanted to wear it across my front, but the strap is just slightly too short. So now I have to decide if it will be a gift for someone or if I take…
Started February 11th so I’d have it going to bring to knit-in that night. Worked on it alternating with my Stripey socks, until the needle broke. Then it was “all-wrap, all the time”. Finished on a Saturday afternoon 10 days after starting. It was a wonderful lace pattern, especially after I charted it out so…
The third of the four Brea bags. I doubled the yarn. The button is a bone button with a beautiful floral pattern. The lining is cherries, which matched the hollyberry yarn nicely. I love the definition on the WotA cables, it really makes the flowery calbes stand out!
The final of the four Brea bags. I doubled the yarn. See the other 3 colors in my projects for how the handles turned out. I don’t have a finished picture for this one, just the other 3.
Started to work on the night of book sale setup (had to be at the mall for extra hours). Two socks on two circs. Using Riverbed + Fleegle Heel + a herringbone stitch + lace on the foot and sides. Heel, toe, and cuff will be purple. Hope to use a picot hem with eyelets…
Started on the diagonal and added random stripes of doubled Shine + Sparkles. Did the yarns doubled for the fringe as well. Simple and easy!
Can’t wait to try this, it’s my favorite out of New Pathways 1. I started these socks and found that mid-way through the foot, my gauge changed from my originals. I should have noticed, they seemed small even though I could put them on. I wasn’t happy with my improved pattern in them the first…
For my trip to CA? Try to adjust to make in the round for less finishing work. Update 11/14: Swatched today and started in the round magic-loop-style. Update 11/21: worked in the round for the sleeves, went back to back and forth for the body, and then back to the round. I didn’t get quite…
Update 11/14: I’ve made 2 of the 3 pieces of this – front and back – but not the between piece. I plan to line this with a pink cupcake fabric, and attach with a pink flower button. I may actually make a flower out of ribbon to attach to the side. I doubled the…
