I made two dischlothes with this pattern for my sister Lisa – one with the Playtime colorway exclusively. I did most of the knitting on this one in the airport and airplane while flying to San Francisco. Then I made a second one by casting on Playtime and switching to Daily Ombre for the rest…
I modified this pattern to be smaller since he was a preemie. I also carried a strand of Bernat Softee to make it use more of the color out of the booties that went along with it as a gift. I omitted the pompom and the top looked beautiful without it.
A quick knit because I needed them for a baby shower. This was my first time using very small needles, and my first time making booties at all. They turned out good, even though I accidentally modified the pattern slightly!
Came up with this pattern on my own, and then got coordinating fabric for a lining. The knitting is done, I’m just sewing lines into the lining where the needles will go now.
This is a long term project, with a goal of having every square use a different pattern by use of stitch dictionaries and improvising. There will be a total of about 10 different colors in the same family for the squares, and then each square will have a knitted border around them in another color….
Rather than using a variegated yarn, I had red and white so I made stripes for the corners.
I did a mix of colors for this rather than a solid – For cast on and bind off, I held 3 strands of red. For most of the potholder, 3 strands of white. Towards the middle, it’s 2 white, 1 red. And the very middle stripe is 2 red, 1 white. This was mainly…
I’m using this pattern, but making her all in cream, and then adding underware and clothes. The clothes will be out of Shine Worsted because that’s what I have leftover from the other project for this birthday (Pinwheel sweater). I’ll be making her hair out of the Essential, I’d like to make it curly, but…
This was my first attempt at lace knitting and dropping stitches. I was worried about my cast on not being loose enough, so I found and used Eunny’s "lace cast on". I also used a different bind off, but I don’t recall which one right now. The pattern was very simple – knit knit knit…
First try at toe-up socks, so far, I’ve just finished the short rows (wrap & turn) for the toe. I’m still deciding if I’ll add a pattern with some lace or not. Update, 7/9. I’m working on this sock really slowly. It’s what I carry with me when I want something to knit out out…
