FO Friday ~ Swan Maiden

Today’s FO post is the finished object I have had off the needles the longest (unblogged): My Swan Maiden Mitts! These were made from Qiviuk yarn, and it was a JOY to work with. I would knit this stuff up again in a heartbeat. The only problem is the warmth of the fiber. (Well, it’s [...]

WiP Weds ~ 5.18.11

So here we are at another WiP Weds, and I have two projects to show you that I’ve shown you before. One of them, at least, won’t be seen much longer, because it’s pretty darn close to being finished! The Swan Maiden Qiviuk Mitts are just about done. All I have left is a few [...]

WiP Weds ~ 4.27.11

I have a new WiP to show you today! Look – a new sock! Do any of you know what this means? Yup – it means there’s a finished sock post in the works! Hooray! But in the meantime, new sock! This is the second sock of the Emergency Backup Socks. Sadly, I didn’t get [...]

When is a blog belated?

Because let me tell you, it feels like this WiP Weds post is late even though it’s still Wednesday. I’m so used to having my blog posts up first thing in the morning on the day I post. But I suppose that posting every other weekday instead of daily makes a difference, too. However, it’s [...]

WiP Weds 4.6.11

Today we have a quick WiP post, but a WiP post nonetheless. First up is the Isabelle Sweater. Progress is coming along nicely, and while I’m not sure I love the yarn colors at this point, I do know I like the blue section that’s coming up. I just didn’t realize the repeats were this [...]

WiP Weds – the Startitis Edition

First of all, I would like to congratulate Maria, who won my contest. I’ve contacted her regarding her prize. Thanks, everyone, for joining me! We’ll have more contests soon(ish) for those of you who missed out. Now, about the knitting… I was supposed to be so good. I wasn’t going to cast on anything new. [...]

Quicky WIP-y

Just a short WIP Weds post today, because I forgot to take more pictures last night… Then again, I also only have three WIPs going at present: the Serendipity Stole, the Sweetheart Cardigan, and the Swan Maiden Mitts. (Hmm. I sense a theme. Not intentional, I promise.) All three are knit on very fine yarn, [...]

WiP Weds, 3-2-11

This will just be a quick post today, with pictures of my knitting WiPs. First, the current state of the Chroma (aka Argus) Shawlette: (link to Rav) It’s nearly done! Pretty much all that’s left is the bind-off and blocking. This has been a really fun shawl to knit, with great yarn, and I did [...]

A Tale of Three Socks

This is a tale of three socks. Not three PAIRS, mind, but three socks. The MTT Sock (sadly not pictured), the Emergency Backup Sock, and the Klingon Sock. Each is finished and waiting for its mate. Which one shall I cast on first? Let’s meet the contenders. First, the MTT Sock. This one was knit [...]

WiP Weds – Socking It

I guess, since one of my current sock projects was emergency knitting, that it should come as no surprise that I have more socks on the needles than I’d planned. (I found myself really early somewhere, trying not to be nervous, and with no knitting. An emergency trip to Michael’s was necessary to keep me [...]
