looks like a really super way to make simple socks look even nicer. I’m making the repeats closer for the eyelets. Update: I enjoyed this pattern. I like that the two socks have eyelets in different directions, but the tightness of the ssk sock isn’t quite as nice as the k2tog. It’s not so noticeable…
Tripling the yarn on size 9 needles to make for a nice fabric but not too heavy. It took me a while to start because I had to wind 440 yards x 3 into balls by hand! Finished, November 28. I used the Drop Scarf pattern, but modified it to make the scarf longer, doing…
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’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.
