Nonsuch Knits: 24 Days in December (and November)
http://nonsuchknits.blogspot.com/2011/11/24-dyas-in-december-and-november.html
24 Days in December (and November). My yarn is wound and my needles are at the ready! I've always loved knit-alongs and the crazy pre-Christmas season is no exception. I've wound a skein of Lorna's Lace's Helen's Lace in color Ysolda Red. Oh, gosh, isn't it beautiful? To make Adventkalendarschal 2010. You who know me, know that LAKNITS (my Ravatar) stands for Looney-Arse Knitter Nears Irrationality This Season - or some such sentiment. 28 November, 2011 18:36. 28 November, 2011 19:08. Stash, knit, repeat.

Nonsuch Knits: July 2011
http://nonsuchknits.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Dinner and a Movie. First and foremost, no, we aren't having rabbit! Dinner tonight will be a lovely vegetarian dish that my sister found and served when we were visiting in London this spring. She was the one to think that arugula (rocket in the UK) would be so much nicer than green beans. The combination of sweet potatoes with peppery, bitter arugula, pasta, and feta cheese is awe inspiring! Here, then is Sweet Potato and Feta Pasta a la Laurie:. 1-2 bags, or a big bunch of arugula. 1 Tbsp olive oil.

Nonsuch Knits: April 2011
http://nonsuchknits.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Spring in the UK. One more pattern is complete for the Brown Sheep Company trunk show. Here is the Tetbury Throw. This is a quick knit throw using Lamb's Pride Bulky, and best of all for some of you.it's made with all knit stitches. I named the pattern for a town in the Cotswolds, a region in western England. We got to travel to England in March to visit my sister and brother-in-law. We had a perfect mix of time in their house in London, along with visiting their new/old cottage in the Cotswolds.

Nonsuch Knits: Report
http://nonsuchknits.blogspot.com/2012/08/report.html
What I Did on My Summer Vacation. By, Lynn Anne Banks. Most of our family traveled to France to celebrate the 80th birthdays of my parents this year. My lovely, kind, and generous sister (along with her husband) found this lovely villa in Rousillon, located in the Luberon region in Provence. Socializing into the wee hours of the night on the terrace and little excursions into the countryside were the order of our days. Dave and I then took the fast TGV train up to Paris for a few days sight-seeing. Simpl...

Nonsuch Knits: Day 1: Tools of the Trade
http://nonsuchknits.blogspot.com/2011/11/day-1-tools-of-trade.html
Day 1: Tools of the Trade. The Day 1 part of Adventkalendarschal 2010. The knitting just seemed to flow along. The yarn is gorgeous for this pattern. It isn't noticeable in the photos but there is a gentle shift from cherry red to orange/red and back again. I can only describe it as "alive". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Knitting Blogs I Follow. A few stitches short of a full row. Idaho stix and strings. Stacie's adventures in knitting. Stash, knit, repeat.

February is for Finishing (NaKniSewMo): At the Wire
http://naknisewmo.blogspot.com/2008/02/at-wire.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. Lucky it is a Leap Year. I needed the extra day to finish up, but the mittens are done and warming the hands of my friend. These are knit from Knit Picks Elegance, alpaca and silk. The color is lilac, and it took just a bit over two skeins I used 3 mm DPNs. The pattern is from Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns, and I modified the thumb to make it less tight (by using the instructions for the next size up). This comment has been removed by the author.

February is for Finishing (NaKniSewMo): four for seven is better than half bad right?
http://naknisewmo.blogspot.com/2007/03/four-for-seven-is-better-than-half-bad.html
Thursday, March 1, 2007. Four for seven is better than half bad right? Or is it five? But I love it anyway, the fit is really flattering. Many thanks to the ladies at SnB for assuring me that it would be fine when I was sure it would be better off in a pile of crinkly yarn on the shop floor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). February is for Finishing (NaKniSewMo). Send me an email. And I'll add you to the party! Here are the rules. For myself, just in case you like structure. The finish of the finish.
