This was knit as a sample for the IDP program with one of the new colors of Chroma Fingering. The colorway is Guppy, and it certainly had a Little Mermaid feel to it (my husband said he kept getting “Under the Sea” stuck in his head!). The color transitions are beautiful with the drop stitches!…
This should look pretty in the Risata Baby Doll that I got last shipment. Make Toe-up, though. May 27: Cast on with Judy’s Cast-on. Increased slightly between the toe and arch. Used the lace pattern from Spring Forward, but made up the rest of the pattern on the fly. I did patterning on the short…
I started with the pattern for Pioneer and did the bottom part of it differently with a waistband done by picking up stitches vertically. I did the skirt twice because I was unhappy with how much increase I did the first time. Used more crochet on this than I thought I could!
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…
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!
Started to work on the night of book sale setup (had to be at the mall for extra hours). Two socks on two circs. Using Riverbed + Fleegle Heel + a herringbone stitch + lace on the foot and sides. Heel, toe, and cuff will be purple. Hope to use a picot hem with eyelets…
Can’t wait to try this, it’s my favorite out of New Pathways 1. I started these socks and found that mid-way through the foot, my gauge changed from my originals. I should have noticed, they seemed small even though I could put them on. I wasn’t happy with my improved pattern in them the first…
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…
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…
