I have completed clue 6 of In Dreams, meaning I am very nearly done with this shawl. However, I have a question. I don’t like the colours. I dyed the gradience myself but the colours are just too different. The lines are too obvious for me where the gradience crosses. I want to overdye it. [...]

I completely missed that the winter season was wrapping up. Since I haven’t posted all that much (or that’s what it seems like to me) I thought I’d post what’s currently on the needles. Malachite socks (pattern Sunday Swing, yarn Plymouth Happy Feet, Malachite colorway) These socks have been languishing on my needles. Only a [...]

I finished the first side edging on my Progressive Shawl! It looks awesome! Also, I have a question. Do you recommend sewing in ends before or after blocking? Why? Thanks for the advice.

I don’t know what happened. I cast on the feather lace sock as a side project since my last set of Christmas mittens were arguing with me. Next thing I know, I’m hijacked by the lovely Lost City Sock yarn. I have proof. I don’t know if it’s the pattern, the yarn, or the combination [...]

I finished my green bolero, which I need to take home (it keeps me nicely warm at work) block and photograph. So now I’m back to working on my gorgeous lemonflower shawl. I must confess, I have strayed from the pattern. It is now “inspired by” the lovely six-petal half circle shawl (Ravelry Link) “Inspired [...]
So, I was working along on my six petal half shawl pattern, and feeling pretty proud of myself. The knitting was going really really well, the colors are amazingly lovely and the shawl itself is turning out wonderfully. Since I have 1,000 yards, and the pattern only called for 750 yards, I thought I’d add [...]

Denise, at LostCityKnits, just sent me this as part of a price for a contest on her blog *does happy dance* I can’t believe that I was so lucky as to get this. It’s totally revised what I want to knit next. I’m trying to decide…do I knit the Six-Petal Half Circle Shawl, the Renaissance [...]

I’m part way done with my Triad stole. Here’s what it’s looking like so far. I’m amazed, this yarn just seems to almost glow; (it’s not really glowing in the picture due to having photographed this with my cell phone) Is this the reason why Malabrigo is so highly sought after? Also, a question. Any [...]

The title says it all. Hubby needs a new pair of socks and I cast on for a Pair of “Zombie Socks” by Sheryl Giles. Here is her picture of her socks: So. For the purposes of the season, do these count? Inquiring minds and all that. What say you? -E

I am horribly, unforgivably, tragically behind in lace knitting of any stripe. It’s not my fault! I got hung up with knitting the Must Have Cardigan and sort of never stopped. But now I see all these posts about it being almost the end. When does SOL officially end? Maybe I have time to finish [...]
