dulaan-a-thaan

What the heck was I thinking?  Great idea, so much fun at the time, felt hung over the entire next day.  I think I’m getting to old . . .

I arrived just after 6pm, found a corner, cast on for my third Steppe Sweater (pdf) and got down to the business of knitting.   There were 20+ [...]

april wrap up

April was a good month for Dulaan Project knitting; hats and socks seem to have been the prefered projects.

1 dishcloth  
Moss Grid Hand Towel
10 hats for Dulaan
10 Magic 28 socks (2 pair + 6)  (and below)
Avalanche Vest (see below soon)

It wasn’t the best month for the fiber/yarn stash, between the Knitting Expo and the Cascade Yarns Warehouse sale, maybe it’s best we just don’t [...]

why, yes, I have been knitting

. . . and it has been all about the charity knitting (and joining more KALs, I am a sucker fot the KALs).

First, I joined the Charmed Knits KAL and knit these Slytherin hats.

All three are knit from the House Hat Pattern at the Charmed Knits KAL blog.  I really enjoyed knitting the 2 [...]

february wrap up

February FOs:

Dulaan Cardigan (not sure if this is going to get ripped, so no picture, but for now it is a FO)
Steppe Sweater
2 dishcloths – MDBB and 4 Corner
7 hats for Dulaan  (4 here & 3 below)
Steppe Sweater 2 (see below)
KPS socks for Bubba

Well, not a bad month overall.  Knit up lots more than I bought, by almost 30 skeins!  [...]

spring shearing

I have been knitting, but the kids were home on mid-winter break last week so I didn’t really have time to blog.  Or, maybe, I just didn’t make time would be more accurate.

My parents took the kids for a sleepover on Thursday so I was able to go to the Thursday morning knitting group at VYT.  It [...]

more dulaan knitting

pattern: none – basic 2×2 ribbed hat
yarn: Cascade Pastaza
notes: With the yarn doubled these hats were super quick to knit, each one took an evening.  Each one used up most of a skein of yarn, great for using up those single skeins of yarn sitting in the stash. 

The green hat is knit [...]

tomten

The Tomten is finished at last.

 

pattern:  Tomten by Elizabeth Zimmermann
yarn:  Dulaan Avalanche Yarn 
cast on:  December ’06   cast off:  January 31st
notes:  Bubba isn’t frowning, he’s saying cheese, sort of.  This is one warm/heavy jacket and I forgot how much yarn garter stitch eats up.  I prolly could have used less buttons, but I didn’t want it to gap in the cold Mongolian winters.
