New Yarn for Isabella

I had bought a bunch of Bernat baby yarn for Isabella, then I decided that I really hated the color and took it all back. I still really wanted to knit it, but fingering weight yarn is near impossible to find locally. I’ve been wanting to try out Knit Picks too, so I [...]

Blocked Fetching

So you thought I was done with my Fetching, huh?
Nope.
I decided I didn’t like how it rolled, but as it is typical of me, I’m too lazy to frog.
So I decided to block.
I’m usually too lazy to block, but I think after this, the blocking gods have conviced me that it really is a necessary [...]

Fetching Finished

I finished the 2nd Fetching over the weekend and I absolutely love it! Of course, it’s finished just in time for 90 degree weather, but maybe it’ll get cold one last time before it finally hits summer (I can hope).

I used 1 ball of Karabella Margrite in Purple that I got from Katy and [...]

Photo (or Yarn) Album

I had been a little frustrated recently about working gauge swatches. I don’t usually like working them to begin with, but I especially don’t like to rework them. Like when I made the baby hat. It was made of the same yarn as the baby sweater set, but I didn’t keep my [...]

Felted Swatch

Ever since spring break ended, my knitting progress has slowed dramatically. My shrug hasn’t progressed any, although I did cast on and start the 2nd Fetching (and I’m pretty close to done too with only one night of knitting).
I did get some pattern organization done though – I keep a “stash” of patterns that [...]

Baby Hat

I was gathering my stash of leftover yarn last night and realized I had a bunch of the TLC Cotton Plus leftover from the baby sweater set. I couldn’t resist making something out of it (also, I just wanted to get rid of it) so I decided to make the baby hat from One [...]

Vestee

In a whirlwind knit, I finished this in 3 days!

It’s Vestee from the Spring 2007 Knitty. I saw it and immediately thought it was perfect for my lil’ nephew, so I decided to knit it for his birthday. There wasn’t much time, but the pattern was clear and so much fun to [...]

Shrug – Day 2

Here is my 2nd day progress on the Spring Fresh Shrug. Talk about a fast knit!

My only concern now is that it’ll either be too big or too small. The pattern is one-size only, and once I realized the big long thing I was knitting was a sleeve, I realized it’s really big [...]

Shrug

I just started the Spring Fresh Shrug today after going to the LYS to pick up the large size Denise needles in #17 & #19. I’m knitting it with Lion Brand Romance yarn in purple. The yarn is so soft and wonderful! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it at [...]

Things I’m learning

After enjoying working the cables on the Nakiska headband immensely, I’ve picked up the cable bag that I’ve set aside and knitted up a couple more inches. The experience is a lot more enjoyable this time around.
So far, I’ve learned a couple of things about knitting from my cable bag:

I hate my cable needle, [...]
