M took the photo for this one, she did pretty good! She also did the photos for my Margo hat. Not bad for a rookie, not that I’m any better – ha! This one is from my handspun, a 50/50 merino/tencel blend from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. The idea came from Spin-Off magazine. The scarf [...]

FO: Margo Hat
I’m trying to get some of the knitted things that have been done for a while posted, rather than letting them go off somewhere and be forgotten. So you might see somewhat of a Finished Object parade in the next little while… This one is made from my handspun that I named Margot. It was [...]

FO: Scarf, hat and mittens
I knit these up as a gift for M for Christmas. I love how they turned out!! I didn’t really use patterns but I did use my Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns as a guide. I couldn’t really do it in secret as I waited until too close to Christmas, so when I was knitting [...]

Instant gratification
I felt a strong urge to knit a big bulky hat this morning. I searched in my handspun and came up with some yarn that I spun a few years ago. I wasn’t sure I’d have enough but I made it! It is reversible, but I like it better on me with the purl side [...]

Garter Stripe Square Bag

Oregon Vest
Well I started this in June of 2008, wow! The knitting part has actually been done for quite a while, I just couldn't be bothered to put buttons on until recently. And the buttons have been on for about 2 weeks now! I guess I am just not a good blogger anymore So what [...]

So about Faye…
My sister looks great in it, don't you think??! I'd wear it now but it doesn't fit that great, maybe when I lose a few pounds after my next half marathon ; )

Noro Sweater
Wow, well looking at my notes in Ravelry this sweater was knit in March, and it took 5 days to knit!! I must have done nothing but knit for those 5 days, haha! Well I really like how it turned out. I used a bunch of different colors, alternating row so that the stripes wouldn't [...]

Faye
Faye is all done! I just finished weaving in all of the ends and threading the tie through the eyelet row. I just love how it turned out, even though I used a plain old merino instead of a mohair yarn. Though it would be fantastic in mohair too. I did end up having to [...]
