Every Way Wrap

I was so excited about the Every Way Wrap when it came out in the Fall 2009 issue of Interweave Knits. I had never knit reversible cables before (unlike regular cables, this cable pattern looks good on both sides; there isn't an obvious front and back - which means you're crossing s… Continue

Mystery Colorwork Project

It's not too late to start Melissa's mystery colorwork project! I'm one of the test knitters, so I'm a little ahead of the public pattern release (which is why I covered up part of my project in the photo) and I can tell you that it's fun and b… Continue

Ten Stitch Twist

I just started knitting Frankie Brown's Ten Stitch Twist Blanket. She has the neatest charity concept - she's selected a charity close to her heart - the Children's Liver Disease Foundation, and offers her patterns free on Ravelry, hoping that those who use her patterns wil… Continue

Oopsie

I was so excited to be almost finished with my Essential Tank when I realized something........in the partial lace pattern repeat on each armhole side, I'd been making the two increases, but only one corresponding decrease, so my armhole edge slowly curved bac… Continue

Gloss DK is finally here (and HW too)

The argyle pattern of my Nederland Vest (Ravelry link) is moving along quickly, probably because it's so addictive to knit row after row and watch the colors interact along the way. Gloss DK is… Continue

Another UFO Bites the Dust (in a good way)

Finally finished with my second Positano Tote! I had terrible procrastinationitis about the lining, but finally just made myself do it this weekend. I brought it to work today, full of all my normal purse stuff plus my newest knitting project (photo below). I love that it stands up by itself and holds so much. Pattern: Positano Tote from Interweave Knits, Wint… Continue

Wearable Lace

I love lace knitting, but I'm already the proud owner of four lace shawls, so I wanted to knit something else in lace. When I saw the Essential Tank Top by Laura Zukaite in the book Lace Style, I knew that was the next lace thing I HAD to knit! (It is image #1 under View More Images,… Continue

City Tweed HW Fetching Mitts

It seems like everyone else in the office is knitting with City Tweed, and I wasn't, so I felt left out! Friday, I grabbed a couple balls of City Tweed HW (color - Lemon Curd) and printed off the knitty.com pattern for the F… Continue

Border Help?

So, I am working through my lace yarn stash. I'm sorry I keep showing you all discontinued colors in my projects. About a year ago, when we put the discontinued lace yarn colors on sale, I bought a TON (while, not quite literally, but enough to keep me knitting for a long while, obviously). On the upside, this enabled us to bring in lots of new, delicious colors of lace yarn for your enjoyment!… Continue

Lace and Socks

I've been away so long! I think I may finally be caught up after my vacation, so can post a few pictures of what I've been working on. The Myrtle Leaf Shawl went with me to Italy and really helped the airplane and layover hours pass pleasantly. It's getting a little big to car… Continue

My hoodie looks like an alien

I am sooo close to being done with the regular knitting. I still have to cut the steeks, do the neck/hood ribbing, sew up the hem, weave in ends, etc. The deep v-neck steek makes the neck look so much smaller than it will be after I cut it open. It certainly doesn't look like… Continue

It's starting to look like a sweater

I realized last night that I DO have to steek the v-neck because, since I am knitting it in the round, I started my rounds under the left arm. But, if I were to knit to the beginning of the neckline, then turn and knit back, I would end up on different pattern rows in that nex… Continue
