Send Needles

Nothing like knitting up a project you've already knitted so many times that you can almost, almost, knit it by memory.

Knitty's Bramble Beret. This time in a teal blue.

Once this is over, I can knit up a shawl. Or some kilt hose. Or some other project that someone else has asked me to do.

I'm very much eying Knitty's Shipwreck Shawl. However, it requires about 6 different needle sizes. In a size cable I don't happen to own. Which is why I want a KnitPick interchangeable's set.

If you feel like buying me one, I may cry.

Sunlit Lace

This shawl has been a labour of love since day one. Most times, it's very tough love. I'm not a patient person, and lacework really tests me. I've been working on this shawl for about 3 years now, and while it's limping along, it's getting somewhere.

WIP Wednesday, after all.

Don't startle a fledgling sweater

Shh, you'll scare it away if you laugh.

I've promised it that it'll grow up to be a sweater, I promised.

My sister loves my broken arm sweater, so I told her I would knit her one if she bought the yarn. She bought Bernat Cotton. I hate this stuff so much, it makes my fingers smell funky.

But it seems to knit up ok. I just have to sew the side seams, the sleeve seams, then knit the cowl neck. (this is the 'Cowl' from 'Cowl and Howl' set) My sister wants a hood, so I have to figure that part out still. I have a method in my head that's working perfectly, just have to make the knitting work.

Also, my boss loves this sweater and wants one. So I'll have to figure that out too. Hurray!
