Forgetful, Part 2 (or: Gift #2)

limedragon — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:02:21 +0000

I have been quite scatterbrained lately. I handed in a recent design project last Friday and now have more time to catch up on this blog. However, I completely forgot to take additional photos of the below FO before mailing it, so you’ll have to do with incomplete shots....

Gift #1

limedragon — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:05:02 +0000

Late last year, I asked a big favor from three very busy people: letters of recommendation. I could have sent thank you notes, but decided I would make each person a handknit gift. Here’s the first one!

Tweedy Mitts

limedragon — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 18:15:10 +0000

This past weekend, I was in need of a simiple project to work on during the Bohus events. I thought garter stitch mitts would be perfect.

Nobody named Ryan here

limedragon — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:35:01 +0000

(Note 1: Sorry about the spot of technical difficulties; after I first published this post, it unpublished itself somehow, and when I went back to reset the status, half the information was gone, so I had to reconstruct it. Note 2: What the heck? It happened AGAIN! I’m not gonna re-reconstruct this silly (and quite possibly cursed) post. Enjoy the pictures!)

Thanks all for your nice comments about my new sock pattern! : )...

Green Aviator

limedragon — Fri, 02 May 2008 21:07:21 +0000

Here’s another project that flew off the needles! Of course, it helps that Lopi is bulky. Lately, I’ve been enamored with Lopi patterns and have added some (both vintage and new) booklets from Reynolds or �stex to my library. When rummaging through my stash for an easy, quick project, I found two skeins of greenish Lopi and decided to try a hat.

Gansey Redux

limedragon — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:34:05 +0000

It’s hard to get back in the swing of blogging when one hasn’t been able to blog regularly for a while. My knitting feels unproductive. I’ve also been procrastinating on finishing up a sock pattern, but have set this week as the deadline.

The mother of one of Mom’s co-workers had recently passed away, and she had given my mother two bagfuls of leftover yarn (her mother had been a knitter and crocheter). Mom requested that I make her (the co-worker) a gansey cap with this yarn, just like the one I had made earlier this year...

Zeebee Quick

Finally! Here’s some knitting content. : )

I had some free time earlier this week and wanted to work on something quick and satisfying. A quick poke in my stash brought forth a skein of Colinette Point 5 that Blog-free Nicole (thank you!) sent me two summers ago (after the One Skein Secret Pal swap)....
