Alterknit Universe: February 2011
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 10, 2011. Well, the quilting and patchwork is still something I'm playing with, but I took a step back to knitting to make a present for a co-worker. She didn't really give me any clues as to what she would like so I chose to make her a Penelope monster by Rebecca Danger over at Danger Crafts. Mostly because I've just been wanting to make one for awhile now! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. A Ball Of Yarn And A Remote Control. Ana Paula's Amigurumi Patterns.

Alterknit Universe: January 2010
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 9, 2010. I've been working on a pair of Vespergyle mittens. The pattern is by Elinor Brown and they have a two-color stranded "argyle" pattern. This is probably only the second pair of mittens I have made and maybe the second or third colorwork project I've done. If you take a look at the pictures of the whole glove, you can see there are some dark colored diamonds where the “X” is almost non-existent, having sunk into the fabric (see the orange circled area for a good examp...I picked ...

Alterknit Universe: November 2009
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Well, after a bit of a delay with being down sick with the flu for a week, I'm back with an update! This second picture shows the tentacles all knit, seamed and with pipe cleaners inserted. The pipe cleaners will make the legs fully pose-able! And here are the tentacles all joined in the round. This is the view of the bottom. This is all I have to show so far, but I'm working on the head, so it shouldn't be too long til this little guy is done. Sunday, November 8, 2009.

Alterknit Universe: Testing, testing...
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2011/09/testing-testing.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2011. In an effort to expand the ways in which I can post to my blog I am trying out the ability to post via email. The thought is that if this works, I will be able to post from anywhere, at any time, and hopefully that will encourage me to post more frequently! Sent from my Palm Pixi on AT&T.

Alterknit Universe: May 2011
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. For the love of "nupps". So I've already started my second shawl. It is the Triangular Summer Shawl. From Nancy Bush's "Knitted Lace Of Estonia." I am making this as a gift for my partner's Mom, Nancy. Below is a picture of what the finished shawl will look like. What I'm discovering with this project, and the last one,. What if I drop a stitich? Here is a sneak peak of where I am on the shawl now. I sorta sloppily pinned it out to show the pattern a bit and you can see how t...

Alterknit Universe: January 2011
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 13, 2011. I'm starting with some small patchwork projects with the thought that someday I may tackle a whole quilt. So I got myself a couple of books. I found a few on Amazon, used and cheap, that were for quilting beginners. And I found a few at Joann's that were new but 40% off. And I found one more at Borders that I had a 50% off coupon for.what a deal! After reading through a lot of the information I decided to take my first project from this book:.

Alterknit Universe: September 2011

Thursday, September 22, 2011. A few projects ago I knit what has become one of my favorite "toy" projects. It's a " Geet. Monster from Rebecca Danger's. Awesome Big Book Of Knitted Monsters. Now granted, I am an adult man, almost forty years old, but I love this little guy! What can I say, he just has so much personality! He has gone on road trips and camping trips with us. Here you can see him on our last camping trip having breakfast. So I went to work and here's the final result. All in all, very fun ...

Alterknit Universe: December 2009
http://alterknituniverse.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. I like that I am able to fit everything that I need in it. While it would make a nice take-along crafting bag, I imagine that I'll use it mostly at home, to contain all the yarn, needles, rulers, etc, that are usually floating all over the coffee table. Here's a pic of what it looks like. LISTENING TO: Elizabeth Fraser - "Moses". I was very excited to find this single on iTunes a couple of days ago. It has been such a long time since Cocteau Twins. I've got my fingers crossed!
