I picked up my prize from ShadowDancer last night. This post has a much nicer pic of the same yarn. And to prove how amazing a woman ShadowDancer is, she gave it to me on my Birthday! How awesome is that? Now all I need to do is choose something to knit with it. I’m [...]

This has proven to be the most time consuming pattern of all….but I am so pleased with the results. The scattered eyelets are my favorite part and really make the design pop. So many have asked why this “in-the-round” triangle construction is so prominent in my designs…..Drape Drape Drape! All angles of this are [...]

I finally put myself together to block the sunflower tablecloth and thought you might want to see it. I am actually going to say goodbye to it soon, it will go to the US. Initially, it was meant for our couch table, but after I was finished my husband told me he wasn´t about about [...]

I was so blessed with all the wonderful prizes I received last season. The last prize to arrive was delayed because I couldn’t decide which color to get. In the end, I bought two of the colors and the last colorway became the prize. BB Knits has some lovely yarn and these are no exception. [...]

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’m actually making progress… See…. several repeats of that edging (on the other side of course): But I also got a surprise in the mail. Ages ago, I knit the Weekender Shawl for Crystal Palace Yarns. I’m pretty sure it was among the things I knit during our very first season. They plan was that [...]

I’ll have to admit it: I knit things other than lace. So while I’ve been (kind of) busy knitting, not much lace has been done of late. Nefertiti is kind of languishing as I’ve devoted some of my time to stockingette projects. I have, however, cast on for Gail, finally. I’ve been wanting to do [...]

I was lucky enough to win an amazing prize for the past season, my choice of any of Fiber Dream’s patterns. Wow! What luck! I first looked at the socks, but then realized that I have a *really* hard time following patterns for socks. And then I clicked on shawls. Her shawls take my breath [...]
I was getting ready to make a post and just realized that this one never got posted. To those I wanted to thank, I’m very sorry the posting never made it past draft. I think I meant to get the pictures for posting and got waylaid in between. So here is the posting that should [...]

Last week these amazing stitch markers made by the amazing Utlinde arrived in the mail. You know, I could try to get another photo, but mine would not be better than this one. The amazing thing is that this photo makes the markers appear a bit bigger than they are. That is amazing to me, [...]
