I’m creating my own pattern with multiple laces surrounding a central Dayflower panel. I ripped out my first few tries and finally have something I’m happy with. Update, 10/2: I have a good pattern now, but this is on hold while I work on preliminary Christmas projects. Frogged, 2/23. I’ll use the yarn for something…
9/6 update: I rock. In the time it took to watch Speed, I did 1.25 heels. That’s faster than ever, and the stitches look perfect. I took a break from these to work on one of my many planned Christmas presents, so they’ll take longer than if I were working non-stop, but they are coming…
For Katy in some KP yarn, maybe worsted instead of sport. In red, grey, black, whites. Maybe a little shorter and skinnier than the example. Finished 9/3, just need to weave ends in and document the info here! Even though it was a little tedious changing colors on every row, it was an interesting knit.
I love how this pattern looks! I started with the higher count to allow for a more full skirt. I worked the skirt longer than the pattern requested because I wanted it to come down over my hips further. And then I wasn’t getting gauge as well as I should on the top part and…
Making out of leftover and new Shine Sport in a stripey pattern. Cast on with a lace scallop pattern to make the bottom edge special. Made longer than the pattern and did a little shaping to make it flare slightly at the waist. The top straps are alternating colors (pink on front, green on back)…
Doing the Toe-up version with figure 8 cast-on. I worked on these over the course of many other projects including a trip to CA, a shirt for Leah, and a tank for me. I added increases here and there to make sure it was going to be able to fit over my heel. There’s a…
Started May 13 or 14th. Similar to my craft bag, but with some ribbony yarn carried along side. The small bag is all ribbon, and the large bag has ribbon stripes.
First try at 2 socks on 2 circs toe up with a figure 8 cast on! Worked on this during the Stephanie Pearl-McPhee talk on Earth Day. In Kingdom Hearts, there is an enemy called a Wyvern. I originally thought it said Wyrven (rhymes with Swervin’) and so that’s what I called them. I still…
I had this yarn sitting around from a clearance sale, and I needed to make something for my brother’s girlfriend. This was a pattern I’d seen at the library and really liked. I think I’d like to try making it again in the actual yarn it calls for, but hopefully this will soften up and…
I didn’t have a recipient in mind, I just needed something to do while on a trip. And I wanted to see how Stripes worked out in this pattern. Pretty cool actually, a pleasing color scheme and a nice knit. I did the picking up a little nicer this time around; by going into more…
