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, [...]
Charging toward the finish line
Vestilence is nearly complete. I am only inhces from the end of the front side. Then it’s the finishing. I cannot wait. I have found a number of ways to knit longer than my wrists want to because I have learned how to take the pressure off. What else have I learned? How to cable [...]

Continental or English?

I have found that I enjoy purling continental and knitting English. It goes much faster for me than just knitting and purling continental. I am flying [...]
It’s electric! Glasses case
It’s electric! Glasses case This was my interim project so that I didn’t just start another sweater right away. I was going to crochet it but I didn’t have enough yarn to do that so it ended up being knitted on my size 8 circulars. I wanted to try the magic loop method and I [...]
ACountryMint done??
Well in terms of the pattern I was basing my work from, yes this sweater is done. BUT In my head, after trying it on, I find that my shoulders are FREEZING so I am going to make two bands to go across there What do you all think? Tags: sweater, knitted+sweater
