I’ve been working on a Laminaria shawl in the Posh Yarns Sylvia that I posted a picture of last time. It hasn’t gone particularly well, so far – nothing to do with the pattern or yarn, just me making mistakes and not paying attention. I dropped some stitches in the border and didn’t manage to [...]

More wedding crafting

Last winter I knit a small rose brooch (Ravelry link) from some leftover Fyberspates yarn. Mum loved it, and made me promise to knit several for use as buttonholes and corsages for the wedding. I’ve been working on them on and off for ages, and today I finally finished them:
There’s no particular code regarding purple [...]
Final mini-project finished!

I finished the third of my small projects – a hat for B and J’s baby:
It was made using leftover Knitpicks Swish DK from the Five Fruits baby sweater. I knew the baby was going to be a boy, and happily I had lots of blue and purple yarn left. You can’t see it very [...]
Future plans

I’ve now got the buttonband done on the Tangled Yoke; I picked up 130 stitches and it seems fine. Have to see what it looks like with buttons on it. Just the buttonhole band to do – I’ll need to refresh my memory of how to do one-row buttonholes. I picked up some cute brown [...]
A tantalising glimpse

The Tangled Yoke is nearly there – I have victory in my sights! Here’s the finished cable:
I’ve worked one buttonband, keeping the approximate ratio of 6 picked-up stitches per inch that’s used in the pattern (as my cardigan is several inches longer than the pattern specifies). The band has turned out too baggy, however. Casting [...]
The end is in sight…

I’ve spent the last couple of afternoons obsessively working on the Tangled Yoke cardigan (ravelled here). Many thanks to Moggle, who helped me to work out how to attach the sleeves. I approached the cable cautiously, with the use of many markers and in a quiet room, but now I’m only two rows from the [...]
New Knitty!

I haven’t even made anything from the last one yet. Must…knit…faster.
Not as much in this one that grabbed me – I love the look of Camden but I’m not sure I’ll ever get round to making it. I am, however, utterly fascinated by Versatility. It’s so incredibly clever, and looks fantastic! I may very well [...]
Tangled Yoke progress

Finally, a WIP picture!
It’s a hard colour to photograph; it’s a cool, dusky brown with grey tones, flecked with cream, white and blue. The above picture probably makes it look a bit warmer than it actually is. While it is a dull colour, I love it because it will match everything.
I am having sizing issues, [...]
The Naughty Corner
Posted in Works in progress, knitting, tagged frogging, knitting mistakes, tangled yoke on August 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today is not going well, craft-wise! First of all was the problem with the sewing machine that I mentioned earlier, so I thought I’d knit instead. After consulting with Moggle (thanks very much for your help!) I decided to rip the Tangled Yoke back to the beginning of the increases and add length to the [...]
Technical problems

I’ve been working on my Clothkits skirt over the last few days. I had a bit of a crisis with the sizing, and thought I’d cut out a size that was going to be too small, but after pinning it together and talking to people who are far more expert than I am I think [...]
