Green apples - a knitting blogAbout my knititng, crafting, thrifting, cats and my whole weird lifeFO: Emerald & Storm update- September 16, 2008 Pattern: Gem, from Heartfelt by Kim Hargreaves Yarn: Manos wool Hook: Size H Notes: I tried to use this yarn for a lacy scarf (Haven, from the same book) but the severely thick and thin quality of the yarn kept the pattern from standing out. So I decided that I would make another Gem, a hat I made ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/fo-emerald-storm-update/ Yarn diet=broken- September 13, 2008 It was bound to happen, of course. My resolve to knit only out of stash was broken by all the fall knits. I&8217;m ok with that though, since it was more of an accidental diet brought on by moving, than it was some sort of philosophical position. Before we get to new yarns, check out my ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/13/yarn-dietbroken/ And the winners are- September 10, 2008 Yes, I couldn&8217;t decide on just one, so I cast on for two sweaters! Old Penny and Bianca&8217;s jacket. Old Penny will be a quick knit - it has no cables on the back. Unfortunately, I think it&8217;s coming out rather small, so I&8217;m going to restart using a size larger needle, and without using such small needles ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/and-the-winners-are/ Its been too long!- September 9, 2008 Since I last picked up my swatching needles. I&8217;ve spent my time since Saturday trying to decide what to start next. My current WIPs are Babette, which cannot be my main focus or I go crazy, and Tuscany, which&8230; well, let&8217;s not talk about that. It may be getting frogged soon, as I cannot imagine ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/its-been-too-long/ FO: February Lady Sweater- September 8, 2008 Pattern: February Lady Sweater Yarn: Dream in Color Classy in Happy Forest, 3 skeins Needles: US 6 Notes: I knit this while I was waiting on my yarn for honey to arrive from England. It was a very quick knit, though the garter yoke seemed eternal (especially since I started it three times!) My gauge was 20 st4 ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/07/fo-february-lady-sweater/ FO: Honey- September 6, 2008 Pattern: Honey, from the book Nectar by Kim Hargreaves Yarn: Rowan All Seasons Cotton in Melange, 11 balls Needles: US 3 and 4 Notes: This was one of the patterns that caused me to buy Nectar (although I&8217;m sure I would have anyway, because I adore Kim Hargreaves&8217; whole aesthetic.) I wasn&8217;t sure, though, how the jacket style ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/fo-honey/ Happy 2nd Blogiversary!- September 4, 2008 Ok, so it was a week ago&8230; but I&8217;ve been busy! My second year of blogging has passed, and I love it as much as ever! I thought I would try to turn last year&8217;s feature into a tradition&8230; one where I talk about how various yarns have held up in the sweaters I&8217;ve made ...http://stitchywitch.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/happy-2nd-blogiversary/ |
