Cover-up
The pieces for Dolores‘ beach cover-up are done and blocking! Hopefully I will be able to get them sewn together tomorrow and done. It should go together pretty easily – there is a back, two fronts, and a hood, and it looks like pretty straightforward seaming. Well, we shall see. This is a very blingy… Continue reading Cover-up
Dolores – Beach Ready!
I got started on one of Dolores’ new outfits yesterday. Since we still have a little summer left to go, it had to be swimwear! As you can see, her bikini is done and ready for the beach. What you can’t see, because I didn’t take this picture until it was getting dark out, is… Continue reading Dolores – Beach Ready!
Heart of Sharkness – Done!
I finished my Heart of Sharkness socks today! The pattern is from AC Knitwear‘s Boost Your Knitting pattern/technique club. As I mentioned earlier, the pattern is called Heartgyle Socks, and is a cute takeoff on argyle patterning. But for some reason I decided my heart should have sharks on it, and instead of crossed lines,… Continue reading Heart of Sharkness – Done!
Shark Sock News
In my last post, I complained a little bit that it didn’t look like there were going to be any Shark Week sock kits coming out of Jimmy Beans this year. Well, right after I published it, I decided to Google around a bit and see if anyone else was doing a shark week sock… Continue reading Shark Sock News
Heart of Sharkness
I got some real progress in on my intarsia-in-the-round socks this past weekend, and actually finished the intarsia part of one sock. I also got to have some charting fun! The sock pattern is from AC Knitwear’s Boost Your Knitting, and is called “Heartgyle Socks”. Knitted as given, it results in socks that look like… Continue reading Heart of Sharkness
PB Shawl – Halfway There!
Well, four rows of garter short, but I feel like I can call it close enough for a photo. The two pattern bands of Clue 3 are done, and that’s always the moderately challenging part. The second pattern band this week was the Cross Stitch knit stitch, also called the Indian Cross Stitch. I have… Continue reading PB Shawl – Halfway There!
PB Shawl – Almost to the Halfway Point
I’m halfway through Clue 3 of my Perfect Blend MKAL, at which point it will be halfway done! Clue 3 is continuing on the theme from clue 2 of alternating an interesting stitch pattern section with a garter stitch section. The stitch patterns are just enough to keep from being boring, while being difficult. Pretty… Continue reading PB Shawl – Almost to the Halfway Point
BYK Sock Progress Report
By using lunchtimes and the drive time back and forth to last weekend’s fiber festival, I have finally gotten to the heel part. It is an afterthought heel, so the waste yarn is in, and now I’m starting on the leg part. I have an inch and a half or so to go, then it’s… Continue reading BYK Sock Progress Report
