I don’t have a fancy knitting bag with all sorts of handy pockets and sections to travel with me. I have an inherited simple tapestry knitting bag, that has really served me well so far. It feels almost as if I could fit anything in it, like a Mary Poppins endless bag. It’s small enough [...]

Comment: Ooo, very pretty. What kind of a heel is that - regular short row? Yes, knitting socks for other people is always tricky. I figure you have to trust the measurements!

Comment: Thank you! Yes, I figured that garter stitch would trap more air and be more warm.

Comment: You’re so on top of things with your Christmas knitting already underway! I’ve just barely started to think about mine. I have a feeling it’ll be plenty of dishcloths … always useful and machine washable.

Purse-Pouch
Friday, November 17th, 2006I finally got photos taken to put in the purse-pouch pattern, and the pattern is complete after several weeks procrastination. I have some things that I think can improve this item, like clips to allow the strap to slide, but I’m happy with what I have. You can find the pattern below.
Afghan Plan
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006The update so far on the Malabrigo afghan is that I have five squares complete. According to the plan I just recently worked out, I have 31 left to go. It’s all going to be worth it! The final dimensions of the blanket will be roughly 3.75′ x 4.5′, or a little more if I [...]
It’s All in the Twist!
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006You know those pesky little uneven Vs, that look more like this: \| They drive me absolutely and completely insane. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I must mention it again. I much prefer the even, balanced, and symmetrical Vs to the crooked ones I occasionally get in my stockinette stitch. What makes it [...]
Fiber Heaven
Thursday, November 9th, 2006I picked up my new roving order today, and this is my second purchase from Maine Woods Yarn from Etsy. I can’t believe how wonderfully soft this stuff is. The shades of green roving that I bought was the same blend of wool, but it wasn’t nearly this silky and smooth. I spun up a [...]
Notes on “Vintage Beaded Gloves”
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006I’ve finished one glove for a pair that I’m knitting as a Christmas gift. I must say I feel a sense of accomplishment, and slightly less worried about having enough time to knit 3 more of these things before Dec. 25. First, some notes on the pattern for Vintage Beaded Gloves from Handknit Holidays. I’ve you’ve [...]
Loose Plying
Thursday, November 2nd, 2006I’ve been using the Andean plying method to ply together my green yarn (help on that courtesy of ICanSpin.com), and I thought I’d finish the rest of it today. I’m running out of already plied yarn for the hat I’m making, so I’ll need some more soon. I realized while plying this last of it that [...]
