Plan: Toe-up socks, ankle length, toes and heels in grey. Started with the Risata using Judy’s magic cast-on. After about half of the increases, started striping the Felici to add more interest. Switched to all Felici after getting to the desired stitch count. Intend to do an afterthought heel with the same striping sequence. 4/10:…
Started with a double stranded bottom on dpns and then increased out gradually. Using a mesh stitch for the body of the bag. On the top decreases. 4/1: Finished handles, just need to weave in ends and take pictures.
Started with a square double stranded in seed stitch. Picked up stitches all the way around and started a meshy stitch. Decreased and added a few stockingette rows and an eyelet row in case I wanted a drawstring half way up. More mesh and then handles at the top. Finished knitting 3/15, still need to…
Making the elbow-length, long version of this cardigan. 3/15, almost done with the raglan increases. 4/5: Started waist decreases after sleeves divided off. 4/13: finished bottom and used seed stitch for the bottom edge instead of ribbing. Would like to go back and take out the top stitches and make the top trip seed stitch…
I used this pattern as a starting place, but did my own stitch counts, stitch patterns, and methods. I wanted the bottom to be solid but the top to stretch, so the first square (CO 18 st until it was square) was seed stitch, doubled with a color and white. The remainder of the rectangle…
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.
