May. 12th, 2008 @ 10:25 am Hexagon Blanket
Tags: , ,
Pattern: Based on the Patchwork Throw in Essential Crochet booklet by Ericka Knight (was a freebie with Simply Knitting I think). I couldn't really understand that pattern though.
Materials: Peaches & Cream (100% Cotton) in Aqua Mist Ombre, Black, Camel, Daisy Ombre, Earthtone, Faded Denim, Gum Drop, Lemon-Lime, Licorice, Peppermint, Pink Lemonade, Potpourri, Sea Mist, Shades of Green, Sunburst, White, and Winterberry as well as Sugar’n Cream (100% Cotton) in Black, Butter Cream Ombre, Cool Breeze Ombre, Country Brown Ombre, Country Sage Ombre, Country Side Ombre, Country Twists, Creamsicle, Daisy Ombre, Dark Pine, Denim Twists, Grape, Green Twists, Hot Blue, Hot Green, Hot Orange,Hot Purple, Jewels, Key Lime Pie, Landscape, Light Blue, Midnight Magic, Natural Ombre, Natural Twists, Playtime, Pumpkin, Red, Robins Egg Blue, Rose Pink, Rosewood, Sage Green, Shaded Denim, Soft Teal, Spring Swirl, Strawberry, Summer Splash, Summer Twists, Sunkissed, Sunny Sky, Sunshine, Swimming Pool, Violet Veil Ombre, Warm Brown, Westport, Wine, and Yellow
Notes: It's finally finished. Unwashed it is 56.5" x 80.5". I haven't measured it since it came out of the wash. It was incrediably difficult to get it all in the picture. Imagine me foolishly standing on a stool, with my arms raised as high as I could taking about twenty shots before I got this one. I'm very happy with the way the stripes turned out. I wanted a flat edge at the top and bottom, so I made half hexagons to fill in the ends.

May. 9th, 2008 @ 02:56 am You Stink Soap Swap
Here is what I sent to my "You Stink Soap Swap." She asked for grass and
honeysuckle scented soaps. I sent her some Bath & Body Works Honeysuckle shower gel. I made her some glycerin soap with Lemon grass in it, and some goat's milk soap scented with Green Apple, Eucalyptus, and Honey Almond. I also made her some beads from Sculpty III polymer clay.

May. 8th, 2008 @ 10:44 am Denim Fixation Socks
Tags: , ,
Pattern: Basic Toe Up Socks
Materials: Cascade Fixation (98.3% Cotton, 1.7% Elastic) in Color#9192
Notes: It's been awhile since I've finished a pair of socks. This pair lingered unfinished as I had to order a third ball of yarn to make long enough socks for the husband. I really missed sock knitting, so much so that I lost my mind and signed up for the Summer of Socks 08.

May. 4th, 2008 @ 01:28 am Unicorn Mittens
Tags: , ,
Pattern: Original Design
Materials: Knit Picks Palette (100% Peruvian Highland Wool) in Rainforest Heather and White. Sz 2.25mm needles.
Notes: Yay! finally finished. I used a latvian braid on the cuff, but decided on a thumb gusset instead of the traditional latvian thumb (I guess it would be called an afterthought thumb). I also did a squared off mitten top because I think pointy mittens look odd.

Okay so I've started the cuffs. I made the first cuff, and showed it to my husband. He asked "What's that?" So I made a new leaf chart, and knitted that as well. Which one do you like better?

So I put a black edging on all the hexagons, and I've started sewing it up. I think the black makes the colors pop. Only 6 more rows to go.

Apr. 12th, 2008 @ 04:34 am Mitten WIP
So this is what I've come up with for my best friends birthday. I haven't decided on a cuff so I skipped it, and I'll add one later. The size seems to be okay, and I think the unicorn turned out well. Unfortunately, I messed up some of the decreases at the top and one side has more stitches than the other. I didn't like the way the decreases looked anyway so I'll just rip that part out and redo it.

Pattern: Garter stitch square
Materials: Patons Voodoo (Acrylic / Nylon) in Night Sky
Notes: I used two strands held together, and cast on twenty some stitches on size 15 needles. I didn't like how this yarn felt before it was washed. It was kinda oily, but I did purchase it from the dollar store so who knows when that happened. It is very very squishy.

Mar. 3rd, 2008 @ 02:34 am Crochet Help Needed!
Tags: ,
I just got the February issue of Knitting (UK Magazine). It came with a book extract called Knitting brings you Essential Crochet. In the booklet is a pattern called Patchwork Throw. I'm trying to make one of the hexagon motifs from the pattern, but I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out the 'English' directions. I'm stuck on round 2. Naviagting the site for the magazine was incrediably frustrating. I couldn't find errata for the booklet, and the errata for the actual book does not include this pattern. Would someone please help me out with this?

Hexagonal Motif
Base Ring - I skipped this and did a slip knot ring.

"Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as 1 treble), 1 tr into ring, [1 chain, 2 treble into ring] 5 times, 1 chain, slip stitch to top of 3 chain. [6 spaces]"

Translation - Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc into ring, [chain 1, 2 dc into ring] 5 times, chain 1, slip stitch to top of chain 3. [6 spaces]

"Round 2: Slip stitch into next treble and into next chain, 3 chain (counts as 1 treble), *2 treble**, work a v stitch of 1 treble 1 chain 1 treble into next space, repeat from *4 times and from * to ** once, 1 treble into last space, 1 chain, slip stitch to top of 3 chain. Change to second colour."

***edited*** I'm going to try: 1 dc into each dc of previous rnd, and dc chain 1 dc into each chain space. Then I'll post a picture.

Tags: ,
I purchased the Selbuvotter book awhile ago, and I've been inspired by seeing stranded work on blogs lately, to try a pair of mittens.

These are my color combinations.
mittenyarn

This is my gauge swatch. I really had trouble trying to hold the fingering weight yarn on two different fingers so I bought the yarn holder on the top right. It is closed on the end, and made my finger sweaty. I then looked at the yarn holding loop on my royal ball winder, and thought 'I can make one of those'. The result is the yarn holder on the top left.

Feb. 20th, 2008 @ 02:04 am Pebble Socks II
Tags: , ,
Pattern: Basic Toe-up sock
Materials: Knit Picks Felici (75% Superwash Merino Wool / 25% Nylon) in Pebble
Notes: I knitted the first pair of pebble socks for myself. While I started them on the same color, it was on a different place in the repeat so the stripes did not match up. I didn’t notice this until I got ready to cast off, but I finished the socks anyway. Then they sat on the table for a week. It’s a compulsion, I know, but I couldn’t wear the socks. I got an email from Knitpicks saying that the current felici colors were going to be discontinued, and they would be getting new colors in March. I showed it to my husband, and he said he wanted socks in pebble. So I took one of the new balls, knit myself a matching pair of pebble socks, and I frogged the other sock to give the husband a matching pair. So five socks does sometimes make two pairs.

Tags: , ,
Pattern: Original Design
Materials: Patons Classic Merino Wool (100% Wool) in That's Blue
Notes: The caltrop stands about 6 inches high. I made this for Myev. She loves the plush jack that we have so I thought I would make her a nice toy. I felted this, and put in a jingly bell. Unfortunately the ferrets don't seem to care for it. I don't know if it's the size, or the fact that it's made of wool.
