Projects
December - Red (and black and gray) scarf in the Yarn
Harlot pattern. I used some mohair boucle from Fiesta Yarns
and a size 8 needle. This is for the Red
Scarf project.
December - Waffle
socks using Trekking 131. C/O 72 with size 0.
December - Waterfall Rib socks using Knit Picks yarn. C/O 72 with
size 0. (The color is off - it's green and shades of red)
December - Drive-Thru
for Amy in Encore and various Wool-Ease scraps. Easy-peasy pattern
and I love the cute little buttons. Size 4 needles and size 6 pattern
December - Austerman
Step socks in color 05 (Torf). Whoa - these were quite scratchy
knitting up and I was not sure about the Aloe claim. Once I washed
them (one down, 39 to go), they softened up trememdously. Size 0
needle, c/o 72, 2x2 rib
December - Have a Moebius Christmas! Look at all these Moebius
bowls I made for holiday gifts for teachers. I used mostly yarn
I had in the house. I'm filling them with candles or Clementines,
depending on my mood. The orange one is for Amy's Coconut,
so I can reclaim another basket I made.
December (finishing) and January (knitting and felting) - Kristina
bag with Noro and one skein Cascade 220
November - Sophie
bags for preschool teachers. I skipped the handles and made little
nubbin rings to add the purchased handles. I also made little button
holders.
November (piecing) and September (knitting) - Happy
Hen Sweater for Amy. Size 3 needles. Little
Lehigh Peek A Boo and Playtime. Sans pocket and intarsia. I
just couldn't handle that...
November - 3AM
hat in Plymouth
Galway brick #44 on size 7 needles. I added one extra repeat
of the cable for length and a little bobble on the end for fun.
There were some minor errors in the pattern but I'm very happy with
this!
November -Natalya
gauntlets out of Louisa
Harding Kashmir Aran on size 7 needles.
November - Somewhat
Cowl in black unknown superwash Chinese yarn. I knit it on gauge
with a size 3 needle (the cowl was a monster!) I knit it to the
pattern (so well written!) and added long sleeves.
October - One
Skein Wonder in Malabrigo Shocking Pink
October - Mary Jane Slippers from Funky Knits in Rowan. The pattern
was OK, and they felted a bit too much (but I'm sure they'll stretch
with wear). I prefer FiberTrends patterns, though...
September and October - Fiber
Trends Elmer Fudd hat (No, that's not the real name, but come
on...) I knit 2 adult hats out of bulky-ish yarn and 5 kids hats
out of Cascade 220 and Galway. I added the buttons on the side of
the hat, instead of on the strap.
September - Last Minute Knitted Gifts Noro Kuryeon Scarf in broken
rib stitch. I cast on 35 stitches with a size 7 Addi and used 2
skeins each of colors 88 and 164 to make it longer and wider.
August - Sockotta
socks (6670). Simple 2x2 garter/stockinette body. Cast on 72
on size 0.
August - Jess
Hutch's Dolly. From her out-of-print book, but you can make
a bunny without the ears to get the same effect...Done in Cascade
220 scraps on size 5 DPNs. The purple doll has dark brown hair and
is sporting a yellow dress with purple crocheted trim. The red doll
has black hair and eyes and is wearing a sporty striped dress. So.
stinking. cute. I added the pigtails and used French knots for the
eyes.
August - RPM
socks in Socks
that Rock - Queen Rock. Size 1 needles, c/o 63 stitches. I like
the pattern, but the STR is crazy. One sock (on my right foot) spirals
with the pattern and the other (on my left foot) split the colorway
- the front half is pink/orang and the back half is blue/purple.
It is a great pattern on the heels and toes, though...
August - Hand towel in bamboo pattern. Euroflax

July - Illusion knitting bag with frog from New
Knits on the Block. Size 5 needles. 1 skein Saucy
Emerald (#536) and a chunk of coned Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton in
ecru. I ran out of Saucy, so I made both straps out of the LB cone.
I need to line this bag...
July - Wrap
sweater in Cleckheaton
Studio Mohair 8ply, color #2. Size 4 needles.
July - dropped stitch scarf
June - Ungranny
Smith from Knitty. Size 3 needles. Little
Lehigh Peek A Boo (7.5 skeins). I inadvertantly added two inches
in length before the shaping. I actually like it longer...
June - cupcakes!
Cascade 220 in brown, Plush for frosting, bulky Lamb's Pride for
cherry. I used an empty plastic ice cream cup to give the bottom
strength. I also added some increases to the Plush part (and decreased
appropriately) to make a good muffin top!

March - Glass charm pendants made during a class at Urban
Arts and Crafts. The kit comes with 1" glass squares and
alphabet cut-outs. I used scrapbook paper, a sticker and printed
pictures on glossy photo paper. Satin rope was used for the necklace
and I finished it off with necklace closure. These are for a neice,
two pre-school teachers, a friend and me! On mine (on the far right
of both pictures) I used a necklace closure shaped like a heart
and arrow. I also added a jump ring and heart charm to the bottom.
I will *definitely* be doing this again!
February - Nantasket
Baskets using Cascade 220. The bottom is the same color as the
weaving and I used about a half skein for that. I used a full skein
of the handle color. These dry perfectly on top of paint cans and
will also be perfect for Easter baskets. Amy's claimed the light
pink/dark pink combo for herself.
February - Toasty
Toes socks with Opal (doubled) for the toes and heel. I c/o
56 stitches, used a size 2 needle and a Garter Rib pattern (K2,P2
for one round, K second round, repeat). I lengthened the cuffs and
added the Opal, since I didn't think there would be enough yarn.
February - Log Cabin socks from Handknit
Holidays in Malabrigo Mango (just broke into the 2nd skein).
I made the men's size on size 5 needles. Luverly and soft.
January - Hand-dyed
socks using KnitPicks
dye-your-own. They match!
