I finished Calorimetry…. Okay so I know that the pattern said gauge was important… and I know that I didn’t swatch, but what I want to know is HOW BIG IS THE MODEL’S HEAD!? I cast on LESS stitches than… Continue Reading →
Michelle recently posted about her friend’s 7-year-old son who has an inoperable tumor on his brain stem. His name is Luke and he’ll be going in for radiation treatment soon. Michelle wanted to knit him a lovely blanket, but of… Continue Reading →
When you (avid knitter and blog-visitor) saw this post title, you were thinking, “Yay! Some honest to goodness knitting content! Finally she has an FO to show off!” I’m sorry; you are wrong. I merely wrote up a pattern that… Continue Reading →
Before I left England I actually managed to finish the Easter Bunny. CW’s Grandma and mum helped me out and those were the ears we decided on.
You thought I knit? You thought right! Haha…. I admit I am a slow knitter, and I definitely like to be motivated and inspired by what I’m making. The unfortunate thing is that I don’t like to start new projects… Continue Reading →
WordPress Converts: Welcome to WP, Jessi and Cass! (Cass even has a www.shutupimcounting.com reroute to her blog now too). [Edit: And Chan moved to WordPress too!!] FO: Chunky Cabled Hat. I’ve never knit a hat before, but I thought I’d… Continue Reading →
Yesterday, Chelle and I met at Three Bags Full for a KnitDate. She was so sweet and bought me “Going Away Yarn” – she is allergic to all animal fibers and told me to pick something cushy that she couldn’t… Continue Reading →
I gave my friends their facecloths that I knit, and the handmade soaps I bought at Granville Island. I really wanted to order Sharon’s Soaps but unfortunately I’m on a time constraint that the postal service wouldn’t be able to… Continue Reading →
Instead of attaching the suede soles as recommended by the pattern, I painted the bottom of the slippers with this lovely-toxic-smelling plastic paint. (Suggested by the lovely ladies over at the KR Forum.) I used “PlastiDip” which is for the… Continue Reading →
Here are the clogs for my dad all felted and shaped. I stuffed the clogs full of plastic bags to shape them while they dried. I must give a huge thanks to momslake on the KR Forum… she helped me… Continue Reading →
Pretty much the day after I posted the Garlerlac Dishcloth, I finished it. Then I had to photograph it with my cat. I also wanted to share a story about my Henry. He and I have a very special relationship… Continue Reading →
The pattern, called Janet’s Tea Pot by Rainy Kimbrough, can be found here (with many other patterns). Facecloth #2: Have I mentioned lately how much I hate largely-variegated yarn? I absolutely hate schizophrenic colours! So I went looking for a… Continue Reading →
I designed this suuuuper simple Snowflake Dishcloth. The one I knitted was a little too rectangular for my taste, so I added about 4 rows into the pattern (rows 6 & 7) so the snowflake itself is still symmetrical. Everyone… Continue Reading →
I finished the second dishcloth for Anne’s (The Bag Lady and the Pro) contest. I am so excited that it didn’t do any horrible pooling of colours. Pattern: Anne’s Untitled Dishcloth II. My name for it: Waves Why: Not just… Continue Reading →
Since it’s a secret who I’ve got for the Tea Swap… I’m going to show you my Felted Coasters! This is the first time I felted anything (by accident or on purpose). The pattern I found for felted coasters was… Continue Reading →
Here is the finished Earthtones Facecloth in a Ribbed Pattern. I knit it on 5mm (US8) straight needles. I used Bernat Handicrafter Ultrasoft Cotton (Made in Canada!) in “Country Sage”. I used the pattern on the label, “Simple Ridge Dish… Continue Reading →
Finished the slippers: Also bought a bunch of cotton yarn from Michael’s. On the KR Forum, it was suggested that I look for either Sugar N Creme or Peaches N Creme. The lady at Michael’s told me they’d just had… Continue Reading →
Some might remember my blue booties that I posted about… they are my favourite slippers because we have hardwood floors. But they’re not too tight like socks… and not too thick like proper slippers… yet they are getting thin. I… Continue Reading →
So this is related to the post of my FO: Eyelet Capelet. If you remember, I made the pattern myself… so now that I have Dreamweaver on my computer and I just bought Fetch… I put the PDF up at… Continue Reading →
I knit Henry a snake by mother’s request. He loves it. As soon as he met it he killed it with his claw and teeth and marched into the kitchen carrying his conquest in his mouth. I believe that he… Continue Reading →
It may have taken me a long time, but I finally finished it. I’m especially proud of the picot edge on the holly leaves. Sometimes I didn’t know what I was doing; I watched a video of picot edging online… Continue Reading →
