Crochet Bowls!

I’ve been so busy with all of my knitting deadline projects, I almost forgot to post a few pictures of the crochet bowls I made as presents for Christmas like I promised. This is bowl number 2, which was allowed to dry naturally. This was much easier without Christmas breathing down my back. This was [...]

It’s Finally Done!

Sea Tangles is finally complete and it feels good. When I saw this Knitty surprise pattern in the Summer 08 issue, I knew I had to have it. I went out immediately, walked down to Habu on my lunch hour and picked up some gorgeous silk/stainless steel yarn in an eggplant color. I cast on [...]

Mountain View Cardigan

I finally had a second to put the last finishing touches on my Mountain View Cardigan this afternoon and I could not be happier! It is such a special treat to be able to knit something for myself and I am beyond pleased with my new cardigan. I made a few sizing mods to the [...]

Slipper Recap

Did the slippers make it to all of their intended recipients on time?  They sure did! Here’s a shot of the finished product: Sadly, I never got a shot of all 4 pairs together, or a shot of the recipients trying them on.  I guess I was too excited by the fact that I actually [...]

Happy Holidays!

Well, I’m off to NJ for the holidays and am happy to report that while the Christmas knitting is not 100% complete, I’m in good shape. Pair #3 of the slippers were felted last night and #4 are knit. Tonight, #4 get seamed on the train and felted when I get home. I’m tempted to [...]

First Pair! Plus Felting By Hand

I started working on my slippers on Friday night. In about a half an hour, I had two souls. Today I turned out 4 sides and two tabs in about an hour and a half. Now they needed to be felted, but I don’t have a washing machine, I would have to wait til I [...]

Last Minute….Again

Why do I always wait til the last minute to think about Christmas knitting? While some of you have been busy planning since July (or at least October), I haven’t taken heed again this year. I’ve decided to make 4 pairs (possibly 5) of the French Press Felted Slippers. They are actually quite quick to [...]

Knitty City Recap

Check out the knitscene blog today for a recap of the event I did at Knitty City last Thursday. It was so much fun! Big thanks go out to Knitty City for inviting me and to everyone that stopped by!

Knitscene Fall 2009

Today the official preview went live on the Knitscene website! I know that a few knitters have already snagged their copy of the magazine early (official newsstand release is July 21st), but for those who haven’t been so lucky, take a look here if you haven’t seen already! This project was a huge undertaking for [...]

A Proper Photo Shoot

I took advantage of the small glimmer of sunlight we had on Saturday night to finally have a proper photo shoot for my Desert Sun shawl. I really, really, really love the way it turned out and have worn it at least once a week since I finished it up. Luckily (or unluckily) it has [...]
