The Haunted socks are moving along. I have maybe an inch and a half to do on the feet, then the heels, then on up the legs until I run out of yarn or get bored with them 🙂 Even though they did not turn out to be self-striping, I do like the slanted stripe/color… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
I got a start on my Broom Riding Cowl today! The blue yarn is Gedifra Metal Tweed in the romantically named color 757. It has strand of black fuzz and a strand of subtle sparkle spun into it that gives it a really lovely effect 🙂 The silver yarn is left over from my Arachne… Continue reading Yet Another Cowl
My Bat! cowl is done 🙂 The yarn is DK weight from Old Crow ArtYarn in the What We Do In The Shadows colorway. The cowl isn’t done to a pattern. The little bats are a bobble and some light cabling. I lifted the motif from the (Ravelry link) Fangtastic sock pattern and just placed… Continue reading Friday FO: Bat Cowl
My bat cowl is coming along pretty well! I’m actually binding off the lower edge right now, but it may need more finishing. I tried a couple different edge treatments, and none of them was great. The last thing I tried is an i-cord bindoff with a different but coordinating purple yarn that looks halfway… Continue reading Wednesday WIP: Going Batty
Making good progress on my Halloween socks – I am about halfway up my feet. One sad thing – I thought this yarn was self-striping. No such luck! It just kind of looked that way initially. Now that I am up to my final stitch count to fit my feet, it turns out they are… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Haunted Socks
After taking an unreasonably long time to knit, considering they are fingerless gloves, the Haunted Handwarmers are done! The pattern and yarn are from Jimmy Beans, and were a Fright Club option. You can definitely see where the rows ended. Maybe it’s because they’re haunted? Or more likely because I cannot seem to get it… Continue reading Haunted Handwarmers Done!
Ravelry link to the pattern is here. Also FYI – the designer is hosting a KAL later this month, and many dyers are doing little mini-skein sets to use for it. Also, everyone involved is giving portions of their sales to various charities. You’re welcome.
I believe I mentioned having gone a little crazy with the Halloween yarn. Well, a lot of that has been coming in finally, making for some pretty happy mail days 🙂 This is a mini set from Ms. Monster Creations that came with the nifty little bag from the Ginger Ewe. I really liked this… Continue reading Stash Enhancement Saturday
No FOs quite yet, but I did make some progress on my What We Do In the Shadows (WWDITS) cowl. I decided to do planned pooling, but just do columns of color, and to make it a little more vampirey, added in a bat motif that I had the pattern for from my Fangtastic Socks.… Continue reading No FO
