It’s a beautiful shawl, but I found all that garter stitch to be a bit of a slog. Here she is: I chose to knit Emily in a fingering weight, rather than a cobweb, because I wanted it a bit bigger and in black and I had that in fingering (Knit Picks Shadow). Ravelry’d here. [...]

I hope anyway. June was a non-knitting, non-picture taking, non-anything month other than packing, moving, and unpacking. Anyway, I finished one pair of socks in June and maybe my Summit shawl and that’s it. I didn’t cast on anything new. I didn’t even make any lists of the many, many things I want to knit [...]

I knit these socks as part of Sock Madness round five…I love the leg and I’m planning on knitting them again, maybe even as my next sock project, but without the cuff or the foot patterning… My ravelry page is here.

These are Labyrinth by Wendy Johnson and I knit them in Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport…a sweet little lace pattern on the foot and front of the leg. These took almost no time at all. and very little yarn (I needed the second skein only for the ribbing [...]

What a delightful little knit; great for in the car or when you are watching small children and may be called upon to set it down at a moment’s notice. Easy, in other words. I knit this in Three Waters Farm’s superwash merino which is such a nice yarn. The color is called moon & [...]

This is my Vernal Equinox through clue 2…I’m still working on clue 3. I’m knitting it out of Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud. I finished my Multnomah and will be blocking it tonight. I also cast on for a lacy scarf for my sister in law, but no pictures yet and I can’t remember right now [...]

I recently cast on for the Multnomah shawl…a simple garter stitch and feather & fan lace shawl. This will be a sample for my friend who made the yarn and then a gift for a friend of mine who lives in Oregon. You can see, if you look really really closely, that I’m using my [...]

This knit up really quickly (March 19-31) and I really love them. I knit them in yarn from a sponsor, Crystal Palace’s Panda Silk and I will be getting more of this yarn. It is nice and silky, very thin, just lovely. Ravelry project page here.

I’m so excited about lace right now! I’ve just cast on for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group’s March Mystery sock which is a lace sock; I’m knitting that in Panda Silk and I just love this yarn so far. I’ve taken some pictures, but I’m now sharing a computer with my husband (horrible!) and I [...]
