I’ve officially been flaked on, and it sucks! I sent an awesome package all the way to Leeds for the Rockabilly Swap on craftster.org, and I got zip from my partner. Anyway, (arrgh!) I also included a little extra surprise that I wished I had kept. My partner is trying to have a baby and wants to make a fertility shrine, so I made her a womb from knitty.com. It really gave me a hard time since I used ribbon yarn that wasn’t so forgiving. My fingers were cramped for days! He turned out pretty cute though. I called it my “Happy Uterus.”
here are some pics of the other stuff I sent: group shot embroidered hankies headbands and cherry choker
Here is my first FO from knitty.com’s winter issue, Quant. It’s a panta (knitted head warmer) done in an entreloc pattern. I used a %100 peruvian wool hand-dyed by a craftster named xladyluckx. I didn’t block my Quant because I liked the texture. I hope the person I’m giving this to loves it. I’m making another one for me. Thanks for looking!
I finished my Rusted Root last month, and am just now coming around to posting it. I’m really dissapointed because it’s too small. I love the pattern. I love the yarn. I love it it would’ve fit on me. I will definitely be making another as soon as I can.
Pattern: Rusted Root Source: Zephyr Style Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece – Olive Needles: Addi Turbo US 6
I finally finished this damn skirt. It was my first time working a lace pattern, therefore are a ton of mistakes. I’ve learned that I do not like knitting lace. I didn’t know I was making mistakes until about 10 rows later, and there was no way I was going to rip it and start over! I got really frustrated and put my needles down for about 3 weeks. Finally I just made myself finish it so I could move on to the next project requiring the needles this skirt was on. So without further ado here is myIndigo Ripples Skirt:
All in all, I really like this skirt, but would never knit it again. It’s really comfortable and airy. I wore it out yesterday in 90 degree weather and felt fine in it.
details:
Pattern: Indigo Ripples Skirt from Interweave Knits Spring 2007
yarn: Brown Sheep cotton fleece
needles: Addi Turbo US 6 24″
I love love love this skirt! After 6 hand numbing weeks, I finished Intolerable Cruelty by Ashley Moncrief from knitty.com. It was my first clothing piece, and first time knitting in the round. It was a good learning experience for me. Here are some pics of my FO:
