Okay so this was first thing this morning. I am now under the arms and working my way down to the next set of decreases. Joyful. I made some major changes, as in the yoke and collar. No way I was going to waste all that yarn for a collar to flap off the back [...]

I lied, so sue me
I said I was casting on the Shaded Tunic today, but I switched it over to the Knit It Down top down Sweater in the January 2008 issue. Why? Well I re-read the instructions and I need BULKY yarn with size 11 needles, the 10s are for the collar only. I decided to regauge the [...]
Shaded Tunic start and Cable Tank progress
So this is the beginning of the Shaded Tweed Tunic in the January ‘08 issue of Creative Knitting. I finally got the size 10 circulars I needed. They will come in handy for a few other projects that are on my list. I wonder if I will deviate from the pattern at all, since I [...]
Loosely Cabled Tank Top
So this is my newest project on the needles. I only cast it on last night.
This is being made from 100% cotton by Peaches & Creme that I got in a pound cone from a Raveler. My mother got the pink cone and was already happily making things with it the day I gave it [...]
The Whisp
So I decided to start another project while I am working on a freeform pattern for something else with the Peaches & Creme Cotton. This is the perfect pattern for my Flurri by Lana Morro. It’s called Wisp. Check it out on knitty.com.
The other thing I wont take a picture of until it gets a [...]
that 70s shrug is complete
I had some minor problems, like the back rolled down so I had to add the cinch string around the top. I had to redo the cast off, because it was so tight I couldn’t put it on. All in all, my first attempt at designing off the cuff in knitting came out rather [...]
Progress: Sleeve of that 70s shrug
Here is the first nearly completed sleeve of my “that 70s shrug” named for the color of the bright yarn on the end. This sleeve looks crazy flat, BUT when it is worn it looks awesome. I am writing out the pattern b/c I am contemplating sharing it with all of you. I have also [...]
Pattern Heaven
I just got my other book in the mail today. It has a full 1/2 inch section of nothing but STITCH PATTERNS!!!! *squeeee!* I am still looking through it. So happy to have gotten this book at such a bargain rate.
Progress: Rain Cloud Shrug
So here is the progress on this circular shrug. I have added some lace patterns into it and am rather pleased with the results thus far. All of the design is on the fly, the only thing that will end up being the same as the pattern from Ravelry are the general dimensions and seaming. [...]
Online Craft Club: Rain Cloud Shrug
Okay so I decided to try to do a circular shrug that I found on Ravelry. It’s very simple, so I also made a heap of changes to the design, though the seaming up will be the same as the original pattern. Here is the beginning of said shrug:
I like working with the Wool-Ease, even [...]
