Bits and Pieces
Today was a disjointed day in terms of crafting. First and foremost, I made some material progress on Dolores’ caftan, and am about halfway done with the turban that goes with it. Other than that, I took the plunge this morning and bought into Kate Davies pattern club that incorporates bullet journaling somehow. Now that… Continue reading Bits and Pieces
Finding My Fade
Dolores’ caftan is progressing nicely, but still not quite presentable. Hopefully will be there a bit later this week! The other thing I started working on last week was my Find Your Fade shawl. It is not a difficult knit at all. There are alternating sections of garter and a pretty simple lace. The magic… Continue reading Finding My Fade
Caftanations
I made steady progress this evening in Dolores’ new caftan – no picture, as it currently looks like a sad, misbegotten, orange and gray mess. Hopefully tomorrow it will look more like something knit on purpose rather than a horrible accident! The construction of this thing is kind of interesting. You start at the back… Continue reading Caftanations
Ixchel is Done!
I got finished knitting Ixchel earlier this week, then my Mom very kindly wove in my ends (I have an awesome Mom!). I blocked it yesterday, and this morning it is ready to go! I could not be happier with it. There are one or two things I’d do differently if I was to make… Continue reading Ixchel is Done!
So Stripey!
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?
Startitis
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
Sensuous Ewe
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
Ixchel – Actual Progress
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
