This Lady Knits

 Yes I realize that 2007 is not quite done yet, but there’s not a very good chance of me finishing anything else today and I have to work tomorrow, so this is it, I’m sending 2007 out with a small bang.
The other day DH and I took a small trip down to Portland to drop [...]

Sorry all, I’m knitting for the end of the year, I’ve got the Jane sweater done, and finished the Soy Silk Shurg, and can’t seem to stop kniting right now.  So I’ll grab some pics tomorrow and post both before the end of the year to bring my final count up to 16 sweaters in [...]

Yes, I know it’s been revealed all over the internets, but here’s my MS3, knittend and blocked and in all it’s finished glory. The theme, if you don’t already know is Swan Lake and the stole is assymetrical, with one side being a wing, representing the wing of a swan.

Pattern: Mystery Stole 3, Pink [...]

Pattern: Grasshopper BMFA Socks that Rock Club pattern
Yarn: Cascade Fixation
Needles: Addi Lace #2
Modifications: I used Fixation because I had heard that there may be an issue with how the socks fit, reports of them being baggy. With the recent heat here in Seattle, the cotton of Fixation seemed to be a logical choice. Again with [...]

Hot off my needles, I finally completed my June socks for the SAM KAL.  To be honest, I had started another pair, but one thing led to another to another and here I was in the last week of the month and no completed socks.  So I decided footies fit the bill, and away I [...]

I did finish the sweater, well mostly yesterday, knitting is done, ends are woven in, there are even buttons sewn on, I just haven’t been able to find the right snaps to throw in there, it’ll happen by Sunday.
No pics yet, I’ll get those before the weekend is out and have them posted likely early [...]

 
Pattern: Coriolis Sock by Cat Bordhi
Yarn: Fleece Artist 100% Machine Washable Merino Sock Yarn (double stranded)
Needles: Options #6
Interesting pattern, It’s one I would and will knit again.  DH fell in love with the pattern and even asked for a pair for himself.  I really ejoyed this knit.

 I know it’s been a while since I posted an FO.
Well I finally got around to putting DH’s sweater together, and more importantly, I got a pic of him wearing it today to.

Pattern:  Reynolds Portuguese Fisherman
Yarn:  Cascade 220, off white, 7 skeins
Needles: Options #6 and #8
This in theory a repeat pattern, but when I did [...]

So I got absolutely no knitting done yesterday, instead I spent the day seaming up 2 sweaters, weaving in ends and even sewing on buttons.  Both CPH and DH’s sweater are done.  I’ll be taking pics and posting them when I get home tonight, by the time I got done last night it was past [...]

Yes there has been some knitting here, and we have an FO to show for it.

Pattern: I can’t for the life of me remember where I saw the pattern, but it’s a simple 2X2 rib with a 1X1 cuff, bind off half the stitches at the heel, knit 2 rows, cast on the same [...]
