Baby Sac

Baby Sac Originally uploaded by Phisch Another one for Karen’s studio! I have such a good model. Jojo wouldn’t close her/his eyes, but did sit in it willingly for me. This is knit in some Baby Bee eyelash yarn. My sister kept sending me yarn listings on Etsy with lots of color. During a trip [...]

Baby Flower Hat

Baby Flower Hat Originally uploaded by Phisch Newborn size, hat for my sister to use for her photo studio. Knit in Knit One, Crochet Two’s Baby Boo yarn (45% bamboo, 55% nylon) which is so, so soft. I used size 6 needles and knit a bit tightly which is good. The yarn calls for size [...]

Replacement Hat

You know, it’s really hard to photograph a hat you’re wearing. But somehow, I managed to do it even without the flash. This is a hat I made from a pattern on Ravelry called Spring Beret. I had made two as gifts for the daughters of friends of ours. Unfortunately, my friend accidentally got one [...]

Project Helmet Liner

What to do with spare black, dark brown and gray yarn: Citizen Sam posts information on Project Helmet Liner. There are several patterns for knit helmet liners (balaklavas), neck gators (I guess it’s too froo-froo to call them cowls) and one for a scarf. They also have a pattern for a sewn or serged neck [...]

Noooo!

*shakes fists at l___d”* Why did you outbid me for Interweave Knits Fall 2007? I was the only bidder and everyone was having at it over at the other auction for a different copy. Sigh. Maybe I should get a subscription. If anyone out there would be interested in a trade for that magazine, please, [...]

Sad / Glad

Our local Michaels no longer carries Paton’s SWS yarn. I just bought the last six balls, Natural Natural is the color name, fortunately all the same dye lot. They might become a hat and scarf. Also sad, I almost typed “carrys” instead of “carries” above. What on earth? I tell you…once I had dreams of [...]

Going Crazy

Nuts. Mad. Insane. I am making knitted gifts but I can’t post pictures until after Christmas. And I’m so silly excited that I got stuff done. Now you can be crazy with me, waiting until the reveal. Bwahahahaha!

Karen’s Lace Ogee Skirt

Karen’s Lace Ogee Skirt Originally uploaded by Phisch Finished! Again the color is slightly off, this needs a tiny bit of magenta in it and it will look right. I used under 2 skeins of Lion Brand Cotton-ease in color purple and size 11 needles (any smaller looked to tight). This was blocked just by [...]

Progress of Karen’s Ogee Lace Skirt

Progress of Karen’s Ogee Lace Skirt Originally uploaded by Phisch So far, so good? I know I said no lace so soon, but I want to get this done and I have the yarn for it, so there you go. This was supposed to be for her birthday, kinda, but Karen said she’d rather have [...]

Anna’s Butterfly Tunic

Anna’s Butterfly Tunic Originally uploaded by Phisch Lookie! I can’t believe I’m near the end. Mojo or no mojo, I am making myself finish this off in the next couple of days. It’s being modeled by my pillow which is surrounded by clean laundry, ready to sort. Apologies for that, but I was quite excited [...]
