Citron Shawl

By Em | Published: Tuesday, June 29, 2010
This shawl was a birthday gift to my sister-in-law, Yaz. I started it well before her birthday (in April) but ran into problems with the original yarn I was using, so I ended up abandoning it. I started it again in this yarn, Stroll Kettle Dyed in “Ivy” from Knitpicks.com. It’s 75% Superwash Merino Wool, [...]

attention foot fetishists

Sock post! I probably started these about 8+months ago. I’ve just not been in a sock knitting kinda mood for the past 6 months, I guess. I dug them out after the move, and have decided that it is now time to finish them. Oh yes. You know what’s sad? I can’t even remember what [...]

Baby blanket

By Em | Published: Wednesday, March 3, 2010
I made this baby blanket before the move, and never got around to posting pics. I took some semi-crappy photos with my phone, since I had already packed up my regular camera, so I’ll apologize for the quality now… It’s hard to see the colours in these pics, and thus, hard to see the pattern. It’s a [...]

Some X-mas leftovers

By Em | Published: Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Some leftover knitting projects. Those are some Christmas ornaments I knit over the holidays. Mini scarf, sweater, and candy cane. The patterns came from the Tidings of Joy Holiday Ornament Kit, from Knitpicks. I also started a string of lights, but they’re not quite finished yet…. … but they’re pretty cool, no? I like the [...]

Knitting plans

By Em | Published: Thursday, October 8, 2009
I’ve been trying to increase my knitting productivity lately. It’s not too difficult. I think this weather makes me want to hide in my apartment and knit much more than summer weather does. I’ve got a few things on the go, mostly things waiting to be finished. I’m not good at finishing – seaming, weaving [...]

Some knitting!

By Em | Published: Sunday, September 13, 2009
I know I’ve been slacking when I can’t remember the last knitting update I made on this blog. It’s a knitting blog, right? Anyhow, the latest project that I’ve photographed is my little sun glasses case. I’m not going for structural support with this project. I’m not kidding myself – if I was to sit [...]

utilitarian knitting

By Em | Published: Sunday, May 31, 2009
I’m working on bigger projects, but I’ve got a few little projects I can share. This is a soap holder. It’s a little cotton mesh bag with a drawstring. It’s a very quick knit. I haven’t tried it out yet, but if it’s nice, I’ll write up a little pattern. And this, this is a [...]

Stitch markers

By Em | Published: Saturday, May 16, 2009
I’m knitting the Febraury Lady Sweater, and it’s been going pretty smoothly. It still kinda looks like a blob, so I’ll take a photo of it when it becomes more of a sweater. There’s a lot of lace in the pattern. Luckily, it’s not difficult lace and I’ve got the pattern memorized already. I’m ok [...]

The Boy Hat

By Em | Published: Tuesday, March 31, 2009
So, I made this hat a long time ago, or at least it seems that way. It was a birthday present for my brother, so I think I finished it in mid-January. I was hoping to get a photo of him wearing it, but since that pretty much never happens, I was smart enough to [...]

Baby Sweater & Hat

By Em | Published: Tuesday, March 24, 2009
I guess I never posted this set.  I sent it off to its new owner a few weeks ago. I started this little set a few months ago. I made a post about it when I started it, and I had a good chunk of it done then. Baby stuff is fun. It usually goes [...]
