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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
