I didn’t have a lot of time for knitting today, but did get to make some pretty decent progress on Dolores’ new caftan. Tomorrow I plan to go back to my Find Your Fade shawl, so hoping to get a lot done on that! How are your projects going?
I actually finished knitting Ixchel yesterday! I don’t have a picture yet – my Mom kindly volunteered to weave in my ends ( I know! How nice was that of her!), and it still needs to be blocked, but otherwise, it’s done. 🙂 So in addition to starting Dolores’ new outfit, I also got a… Continue reading Startitis
In spite of the fact that I have had two dress kits for her, poor Dolores has been languishing the same outfit since I finished her Rhinebeck dress and accessories in early September. Since I recently finished some things, I decided it was time to get back to clothing her in the style to which… Continue reading Sensuous Ewe
I am so close to done with my Ixchel – just a few more inches on the second sleeve to knit! I have 8 more rows of plain knitting, then about 2 inches of ribbing, then casting off. So close! Of course then there’s weaving in ends, and blocking, and very possibly undoing the waist… Continue reading Ixchel – Actual Progress
Tuck Stitch Cowl #2 is finally done! The yarns are Freia Ombre Grande and A Tree Hugger’s Wife Soft DK. I didn’t really have a pattern, just used a stitch pattern and a generic number of stitches to work it on. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, and also happy to be done… Continue reading Something’s Finally Done!
I’m so close to done with the 2nd tuck stitch cowl! I think one more round each of the black and purple, then binding off. Of the two current projects on the needles, this one is more of a time push – it is a Christmas present for someone in Japan, so it needs to… Continue reading Tuckered Out
I didn’t have a whole lot of time to knit tonight, but I did get a little bit done on sleeve #2. Two more rows in the allover pattern, and then I start to do the sleeve decrease and just the arrow and moon pattern down the center of the sleeve. Starting to see a… Continue reading Ixchel – Sleeve #2
I finally got a chance to make a little progress on my second tuck stitch cowl! The yarns are kind of close in value on this end of the gradient (the pinky purple yarn), but hopefully it’s enough contrast that it will turn out OK. I’m a little afraid to check it out in the… Continue reading Tuck Stitch Cowl 2 Progress
Got done with sleeve #1 this evening which watching the finale of the most recent season of the Great British Bake-Off! I really just had the ribbing and bind-off to go, so it didn’t take too long. I did try it on, and it fits really nicely, and the sleeve is just long enough, but… Continue reading Halfway Off Sleeve Island
