Today I finished a project I have been working on for just a month short of 2 years. The pattern is Alexandra’s Airplane Scarf. There are several versions of this scarf – this is the striped version. The yarn is Isager Japansk Bomuld, which is just a very thin cotton tape yarn. It has a… Continue reading Finally Finished: Airplane Scarf
Two new projects on the needles this week! First is the Peggy Sue cardigan that I started pretty much the day I finished Melville. I’m using Cloudborn Sport, the old Craftsy Yarn it was designed for. It is knit in pieces and sewn together. Just getting started on the back at this point. And the… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
At very long last, my Melville pullover is finished! Forgive the terrible indoor nighttime photos. I have been challenged to do some theme pics wearing it in some sort of nautical situation, and will share those when it happens. Hopefully within the next couple weeks. The pattern is Melville (Ravelry link), designed by Sarabeth Hall.… Continue reading Melville is Done!
Well, I’m tired of thinking about my Melville sweater, and I bet you are tired of reading about. So instead, here’s what’s next! The Peggy Sue cardigan is next in my project lineup! (photo is from the directions – much better images at the link) I bought the kit for this sweater years ago when… Continue reading What’s Next?
Still plugging away at Melville! The body and neckline are done and there’s just a few more rows to do on the ribbing, then the sleeves. I am going to start one sleeve tomorrow and hopefully make good progress. They are plain stockinette with a little bit of texture here and there, so they should… Continue reading And Then There Was One
The pattern is Worst Witch shawl, designed by Vanessa Ewing of Cape May Fiber Co. and the yarn is a mini set of the same name, also from Vanessa. This was a fun knit – just complicated enough to keep it interesting, but not too complicated either. I love the autumn vibes of this shawl,… Continue reading Worst Witch Shawl Done!
Not a lot of change from last week’s WIP show, just a bit further along on both projects. My Worst Witch shawl is ready for the picot bind off, so not a lot left to do on this one 🙂 I am done with the colorwork part of Melville! I’m a little way into the… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I’m still working on the same two projects as last week, but they are both moving along pretty well! Thee are only 2 rows of colorwork left on Melville! And then of course there’s the ribbing and neckband and sleeves, but I feel like the complicated part is almost done, so that feels like good… Continue reading Weekly WIPs
Two current projects going right now – Melville, and a new shawl. Melville is moving along really well. I am 2/3 of the way through the colorwork now, so making good progress. I love the contrast between the dark and light colors, and the fabric is so soft. This will be great to wear in… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
