I wanted some basic slippers. Sarah admired my library slippers with the fuzzy top and the padding in the bottom, so I wanted those to be elements of these socks too. I did short row toes and heels similar to Knitty’s Twinkle toes and then added eyelets so a piece of yarn could be woven…
Finished, April 21. These were toe-up. I did a short row toe, and a heel with a gusset to better accentuate the cable on the side. Not-so-noticeable flaw: I started the first sock with the first cables being twisted every 4 row. Somewhere around the third repeat, I got off on my counting and did…
Finished, 4/16: I got bad about updating along the way. I did end up ripping about 8 rows back after joining the second ball of yarn and going back and alternating rows to try and make it a more natural transformation. I did the same with the sleeves, but none of the other balls were…
I took this pattern as inspiration and made it my own with a custom bottom, working circularly instead of flat, and eyelets for a drawstring before the handles. Bottom notes: I used short rows to make the center of the base be wider. Then I used short rows on the sides to create a boat-like…
This pattern is one I came up with after reading a variety of baby mitten patterns and about 4 attempts at the first mitten to get the proportions correct for where the thumb goes. I’d like to write it up and make it available, but haven’t done that yet. It’s a slip stitch pattern rather…
Finished, December 8, redid the head between Christmas and New Years. Made this slightly bigger because Jon’s head was bigger than some peoples. Adjusted the stripes to be larger instead of repeaty. Can’t wait to see how it fits! This pattern was really easy, and definitely what’s I’d recommend for a basic hat. Full changes…
When I realized I wouldn’t have enough yarn to make purple slippers, I went for an elasticy yarn I knew I could get locally. Also some legwarmers to go with this out of the same Cascade Fixation with other worsted weight yarns (Wool Ease in a Lilac, Light Rose Heather, pink, and yellow; KnitPicks Swish…
Making these for my niece. Update 2/18/08: Frogged and rerolled the yarn for my stash.
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…
