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 [...]]]> http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/05/02/april-wrap-up/feed/ 3 http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/04/26/why-yes-i-have-been-knitting/ http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/04/26/why-yes-i-have-been-knitting/#comments Thu, 26 Apr 2007 22:23:44 +0000 Ginger http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/04/26/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 [...]]]> http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/04/26/why-yes-i-have-been-knitting/feed/ 10 http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/03/01/february-wrap-up/ http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/03/01/february-wrap-up/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2007 23:34:14 +0000 Ginger http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/03/01/february-wrap-up/ February FOs:

My parents took the kids for a sleepover on Thursday so I was able to go to the Thursday morning knitting group at VYT.  [...]]]> http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/26/spring-shearing/feed/ 3 http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/17/more-dulaan-knitting/ http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/17/more-dulaan-knitting/#comments Sun, 18 Feb 2007 01:46:46 +0000 Ginger http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/17/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 [...]]]> http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/17/more-dulaan-knitting/feed/ 2 http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/01/tomten/ http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/01/tomten/#comments Fri, 02 Feb 2007 01:18:30 +0000 Ginger http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2007/02/01/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.

Another finished hat . . .

pattern:  Avalanche Hat Pattern (pdf) yarn:  Lamb’s Pride Bulky (85% Wool 15% Mohair) from stash cast on/off:  Jan 11th notes:  I knit the pattern as written, but with the thinner yarn and smaller gauge the resulting hat is more of an infant size.

This is what I knit up last night.  Yes, that is snow in the background.

Do you see that?  15 degrees!!  It just doen’t get that cold around here, at least not at this time of year!  This is just below the legal limit, in my opinion, just not allowed.  This is the Pacific NW, we don’t have real weather, we have bland weather.  I drizzles, summers are mild [...]]]> http://www.sewcrafty.org/blog/2006/11/28/dang-its-cold/feed/ 1
