Have you seen the September 2010 issue of Yarn Forward???
(yes, I KNOW it’s only the middle of July… and YES… the SEPTEMBER issue IS out already)
Anyway… it features one of my knitting patterns!
I’m such a newbie to the world of print publication… and this is all so wildly EXCITING to me!!! The hard part though, [...]
Master Eight loves his skull beanie, too…
but he’s equally as uncooperative as his brother when it comes to having a photo taken!
Here’s an idea of how it looks:
It’s actually black, with a light green contrast for the skulls… but you can’t really tell that from the photos. They look almost white!
Still love the pattern. It’s [...]
Free Range Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
I’ve been wanting to take a look at one of Stephanie’s books for a while now… and I’ve finally managed to sit down and have a bit of a read.
It took me a while to get into it, but I think that might be more of a reflection on my [...]
Master Ten loves his skull beanie…
but he doesn’t love standing still while I take photos!
Actually…
I think that maybe he doesn’t actually KNOW how to stand still…
Never mind, I should be used to it by now!
Here’s an idea of how it looks:
Love the pattern. It’s available as a free Ravelry download here.
One thing I don’t love [...]
I’ve had some enquiries about the ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ scarf pattern…
It’s hardly a pattern really… but here’s how I made it:
Start by collecting a bunch of scraps. Word your crafty friends up so that they can collect scraps for you too. That’s how my scarf came together – my friends saved [...]
This will probably be the most boring project that you ever see me working on…
Mostly because of the colour.
Navy.
(not that there’s anything wrong with that)
But it’s JUST navy. Not navy and this, or navy and that. No colourful trims or embellishments. Just a plain navy cardigan.
To be honest, I don’t know if I will [...]
This started out as a project to prove to myself that I CAN work with circular needles.
Plus I was feeling a bit bad about the fact that I so rarely make anything for my boys to wear.
So I’m working on this skull beanie. The photos are a bit average, but I have the base of [...]
I love the way this looks on the couch!
Pretty pleased with myself for sewing a zipper in, too!
For the first time ever…
Usually I would just sew the cover closed around the cushion, but I really wanted this one to be removable for cleaning when necessary. So I just unpicked the zip from the original cover, [...]
Remember that cushion I started working on a while back?
I loved the way it was knitting up, but man – it took forever to get through! I thought I was never going to get it finished…
Then I was so fed up with it, once I finally had it off the needles… I packed it away [...]
So this bag is one that I would have made a few years back. Definitely before I started blogging, anyway.
Yes. There was life before blogging!
So it’s been in hibernation for quite some time. Again, all it really needs is ‘finishing off’… a lining and some embellishment should work nicely.
I’m not all that jazzed about the [...]
