I knit this for my dad's birthday/Father's day gift. I also did a Irish Hiking Hat to match (no pic)
It took longer than expected. The hat and scarf together took 4 balls of Patons Shetland Chunky Tweeds in Dark Forest.
Pattern: Irish Hiking Scarf from Hello Yarn
Needles : 9 Addi Turbos
Very soft and a nice manly knit.
Wow! 2 days in a row on the CRAFT: blog. Thanks to Natalie and Ansley of Bleu Arts!
The same sweater, knit in the smallest size for my college roommate's baby. Much better. The yarn was much nicer and I did intarsia instead of duplicate stitching. I also added a cable up the sleeve to break up the stockinette.
Pattern: Tattoo Sweater - Stitch n Bitch Nation
Yarn: Baby Ull Dalegarn (don't have the colorway - green)
This one could have used a closure as well, but just at the top.
This is the first sweater I knit, for my niece Jadyn. The yarn was very fuzzy and there were long stretches of boring stockinette.
Pattern: Tattoo Sweater - Stitch n Bitch Nation
Yarn: Black fuzzy (?) fingering weight, and Lilac smooth (?)
I should have put some buttons.
Well, I've been absent from my own blog. I would like to build up to posting regularly, but in the mean time, it's going to need to be more of a showcase for finished objects. So here's the first.
Like everyone else, I made a pair of Fetching mitts.
Yarn: Knitpicks Wool of the Andes Pumpkin (1 skein)
Pattern: Fetching (Knitty.com)
Finished: sometime in the fall 06
Jenny and I decided to knit a wedding emergency bag for a friend who is getting married this weekend. The bag will serve the dual purpose of being a pretty, yet subtle remembrance (complete with their wedding logo) and also being a cozy fall bag for her (complete with matching Hurry Up Spring armwarmers).
