Just for me
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting
Even in the midst of crazy, stealthy holiday knitting, a knitter’s got to make something just for herself, right?

Vested
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, sweaters
A few days before Christmas, I finished the main knitting of the big gray blob. It was so big I had to be very careful when picking it up and carrying it, lest it get stretched out. For extra peace of mind, I waited to take a pre-felting picture until I had basted together most [...]

Somewhat Plain
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
Whee! These are the last pair of socks I needed to finish for holiday knitting. The original plan was to incorporate the leftovers from the other Italian series with this last colorway. That didn’t work out because I used up all of the yarn with the Broadripple and Yarrow socks. Nevertheless, these turned out [...]

Broadripple
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, socks
Broadripples were all the craze two or three years ago. I have so many sock patterns I would like to knit that I either forget what’s available, or have a hard time choosing. Ravelry helped me remember the Broadripple pattern, which has been sitting at number two in my queue since I signed up. [...]

Very Warm Hat
Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting
Here’s a Finished Object that I’m very late blogging. It’s also my very first EZ project. FuzzyBritches’ Warm Up the Winter gave me the perfect opportunity to knit a Very Warm Hat, which I’ve wanted to knit for quite a while now.

Triple-patterned
Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting
As I finished up the baby items back in September, I was really craving stimulation; I wanted to knit something a bit complicated, something that required a lot of attention. I knew stranded colorwork was exactly what I needed.

This is only my second stranded project (and fourth where I’ve used my left hand). [...]

Gauging Felt
Posted by limedragon | Filed under felting, knitting
Before I began work on the two big gifts due later this year, I realized I needed to knit and then full at least one swatch. Normally I don’t worry about gauge and size for felted items since the fulling process controls the end result. These two gifts I’m making are a bit more complicated [...]

Still cursed, but…
Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting, socks
Quick question! Is anyone doing a Stash Flash on April 1 again this year?
I’m still battling the sock curse. Meanwhile, I’ve got an almost FO and a FO to show you all!!
