WIP – Central Park Hoodie

By on February 2, 2011 in Knitting

I’m making a sweater, because we haven’t already seen me fail at large item knitting! This one is going much more smoothly though, and I actually have hope of finishing it in the near-ish future.

Test Knit – Petite Rose Doily

Test Knit – Petite Rose Doily

By on January 10, 2011 in Dyeing, Knitting

My first FO of the year is a test knit that I did for a beaded and dyed lace doily. I started with some Rowan pure 4-ply and dyed it with kool-aid. The knitting was a little fiddly towards the end, trying to fit everything on my DPN’s but it’s a great little pattern.

WIP – Brit Lit Vest

By on September 15, 2010 in Knitting

Going to the yarn shop is dangerous, especially if you go during knit-chat time. So many people with so many projects from patterns I’ve never seen, and easy access to magazines to flip through! I stopped in just to say hello, and walked out with a new magazine and a vest’s worth of yarn, not to mention the desire to knit half the other projects in said magazine! On the bright side, the Brit Lit Vest seems to be a quick knit, and is totally awesome.
