Finished pictures of the silk Annis I’m knitting for a friend. This used about 30 grams of Lost City Silk…which is gorgeous and shiny and soft as …something really soft. My brain shut off a bit ago. I can’t wait to use the remaining yarn. Maybe Magpie (Ravelry Link)

I realized, on my last post I tagged it as “beaded lace.” I realized, that means I have to show a pic of the beads. So…beads! Ok, so I added more beads than the pattern called for. A few extra beads never hurt anyone, right? ….and they’re so pretty.

After I finished the edging on my rock island, things started zipping along much better. It was going really well…almost too well. And last night I hit a point where I realized I should have 11 stitches. I only have 8. I’m in the “knitting lace on both sides” part. This is going to require [...]

I’ve finished the first of the baby blankets I’m making in the next few months. Here is my Labyrinth Baby Blanket. Based off the Baltic Labyrinth pattern, I created a Greek Key pattern for the border. Knit with Berocco Vintage yarn. Couple more glamor shots…

I have cast on for Rock Island also. This is my first time doing a Knit-A-Long, I’m excited to be one of the “cool kids” for once. So far, I have this. This is 22 repeats of the edging chart, in Knit Picks Gloss Lace yarn, peapod color. So far, this edging has been kicking [...]

Having finished my (non-lace) socks, and waiting for my next yarn order to come in, I cast for my Red Hot Flamenco. Hopefully, eventually it will look like this… Pattern: Flamenco Yarn: Knit Picks Tonal, Gypsy Colorway Beads: Dark Grey silver lined from Michael’s This will likely become a season-spanning project in the future. I’ve [...]
