I still knit. My latest is Leaving, a sweater by Anne at knit spot. I’m knitting it in Woobu and it’s coming along great!
The colors shown here do NOT do this wonderful yarn justice (that’s what I get for taking pics with my iPhone in questionable light)

Steeking

My thoughts are quickly going past Christmas Knitting (still finishing up the orange cable sweater, but also knit a hat) and to what I’ll be knitting for the Madrona Fiber Arts festival coming up. I’ve been looking at some fair isle patterns, and came across this great blog post with pics of how to do a crochet steek:

Now … what to make as my Madrona project? Hmm….

Sweater & baby
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:31 am (uncategorized)
I made this sweater a while back for a friend, and here’s a pic of the baby wearing it. If I remember right I made the pattern a little bit longer than it called for, as based on my gauge it was going to be wider than it was supposed to be (which was perfect because I wanted it a little larger so that it’d be the right size when fall and winter arrived).
Pattern can be seen at Ravelry here:
