About Me:

My mom taught me to knit and crochet when I was still in elementary school. I knit and sold stuffed animals for spending money when I was in college. I've gotten much more involved with new yarns and patterns in the last few years and even attended Stitches East the 3 years it was in Baltimore. I've been making a lot of socks lately and now want to try lace.

Finished entrelac sweater - finally!

I started this summer sweater back in the spring and here it is November before I finally finished it.

I like the yarn, but I'm afraid it is going to catch on everything. It's a ribbon wrapped with a shiny thread, and I was constantly snagging it while I was working with it. I made the sleeves slightly longer than… Continue

More progress on entrelac sweater

I finally finished the main body of the entrelac sweater and started on a sleeve. The sleeves have an entrelac border like the bottom of the sweater - two rounds of garter stitch blocks knit in the round - and then are the same purple ripple pattern as the top of the sweater. I finished the entrelac and started the purple while waiting for the Vista service pack to install and reboot. No new pictures yet, but I'll be sure to put one up when I finish. Minimal sewing on the pattern - just attachin… Continue

Started a Pyrifera Scarf

I needed a small project to carry along on my vacation, so I started a Pyrifera Scarf with the Oregon Coast Heather Shadow yarn from my Riverstone Chinook Shawl Kit. I had some trouble ending up with the right number of stitches at the end of each row the first time through the 10 rows of the pattern, but once I got going and could see the pattern repeating I had fewer problems. Since it rained for 4 of the days my sister and I were at the beach, we spent a couple of evenings watching tv and kni… Continue

Stroll for Rings of Supersock

I just ordered 3 colors the handpainted Stroll (Tiger, Tree Fort, and Lullaby) to fill in the last colors I needed for my Rings of Supersock shawl. The pattern is from Cherry Tree Hill and I got several colors of Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Semi-Solids to start with, but I needed 11 skeins over-all for the larger size and hadn't found all the colors I wanted for a rainbow effect. I also got some Supersock Potluck colorways and a skein in "Daffodil Way" from Indie Dyer. I'll also need a 60" cable… Continue

Do you play the recorder? I love the recorder. I can play a little, but I never had any instruction. I tend to learn something by ear before I learn to play the notes as written! I guess we all have our talents. Anyone can spin, though, if they're tenacious enough! Looks like you've done a lot of Entrelac. I've only done a scarf, but that was fun and nice to wear. Love the teddy bears! --P
