I have a lot to blog about today.
So, quite a while ago, I came across the Alatus pattern on Ravelry, designed by Canary Knits. This is a more advanced pattern, to me anyway, because of the way the designer wrote it. And the super-complicated looking cables on the back that create angel wings. I kept [...]

A Few Socks

I’ll start with the Christmas ones. I know, only Thanksgiving has gone by, we still have to get through Halloween and Rememberance Day, but I wanted to start these early. My mother commissioned me to make new Christmas stockings (5 of them, parents, me and 2 sisters), and not too long ago she went with [...]
So, I made a couple of hats…

Most importantly, I crocheted them.
The pattern I used is Nubby Brim Cloche, which I came across while searching through crocheted hat patterns for bulky yarn in Ravelry. There were several, but I really liked the shape of this one. The pattern creator Eileen Tepper also has an Etsy site filled with hats, hat patterns [...]

I was passing through the Zellers yarn section (again) not too long ago to pick up some DPNs, and a skein of the Bernat Sox yarn came home with me. It’s fairly cheap, I think 5.99$ for 425 yards, which is enough to make 1 pair for most people (definitely enough for me). I’m using [...]

I need to be boxed up today. That or put on my stationary bike to work off the massive amounts of hyperactivity I have. It’s not coffee or anything, though I did have my usual cup this morning, and a little dark chocolate, and 1 dark chocolate-covered nut of some sort (I think [...]

It’s been almost a month since my last post, which is a little unusual for me. There was a power outage during that time, but it was just for 3 days. A lot of storms.
Anyway, first thing. I wanted to mention something about the soy/acrylic yarn dying. It might be something I did, I don’t [...]
Cloud Bolero and Tuscany
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting, Patterns, Weather Complaint on November 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Even though I finished the Cloud Bolero first, I did start Tuscany (from No Sheep for You by Amy Singer) first this past June, so I’ll start with that:
The yarn is Bernat Satin in Bordeaux, 100% acrylic, and a worsted weight. So I did 8 repeats instead of 11. It’s 62″ wide and 22″ long, [...]
Elephant (picture heavy)

I found this pattern while looking around on Ravelry and had to make it. It’s free, and can be found here: Elephante, (that link opens a pdf of the pattern).
I originally was going to do the stripes, and even crochet instead of knit on DPNs. I got 4 feet done, and they were working well [...]

It’s been a hectic weekend, spilling into the week. On Saturday we packed the remaining things in the apartment (which, admittedly, was most of it). During that time we found a lot of things to throw out, and I went to Value Village more than once to happily donate items that I didn’t want to [...]
