Three Tams - Winter 2007 - Knitty
http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter07/PATTtam.html
By Angela Sixian Wu. I love stranded knitting but definitely dislike weaving the ends, so I came up these tams. They are worked in the round in what I call “beginner’s Fair Isle knitting”. Using a variegated yarn as the contrast color, you are able to achieve the effect of a more complicated Fair Isle pattern by using just the same two strands from cast on to bind off! Choose your favourite variegated worsted weight yarn (or simply some leftovers) for your own unique tams! Dinner plate, 10.5 inches i...

knits 'n bits: My very first KAL!
http://knits-n-bits.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-very-first-kal.html
Monday, December 11, 2006. My very first KAL! I've joined my VERY first KAL! It's Stranded: The Colorwork Challenge. I'm planning to knit Eunny's Anemoi Mittens. It's a pair of mittens, so theoretically, it shouldn't be too time consuming. Um . I'm setting myself a goal of December 31? It's totally do-able. We'll c. In other news, remember in the last post I said there was no way I'm frogging Sarcelle? It's now taking me about 35 minutes to do a 6 row repeat. At least I've got the pattern down.

knits 'n bits: December 2006
http://knits-n-bits.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 20, 2006. Some progress to show! This is seriously a fun knit! I just can't put it down! I just want to finish knitting so I can try out steeking. Although I've never done it before, and actually quite nervous about it, but it keeps me motivated! There's also a bit of puckering. I think that's inevitable, and hopefully, blocking it will even it out. The Quietude is for the first sweater. It's from Phildar Tendances Autumn 05 06. They didn't have an English version for this, so...For t...

Elvy Knits: Basic wallet
http://elvyknits.blogspot.com/2010/11/basic-wallet.html
Or at least talks about knitting and sewing). Sunday, November 28, 2010. This wallet was also a lot of fun to make. Once again, it is a Keyka Lou pattern. I used Amy Butler's daisy chain fabric, left over from a previous project. The wallet is approximately 5.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall and is actually much roomier than I thought it would be. As you can see, there is a little card pocket in the front:. I centered the motif in the back and front panel. I love how it turned out. How cute is this?

Elvy Knits: April 2010
http://elvyknits.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Or at least talks about knitting and sewing). Tuesday, April 6, 2010. So far, so good - my first foray into free motion quilting. I am so pleased with myself right now! Here is my test piece for free motion quilting:. The first image is of the front side, the second image is of the back side of the piece. Theoretically, there aren't supposed to be any sharp points or crossed lines, but hey, this was my first attempt. Which leads me to this: the quilt for Baby Bea is sandwiched and ready to be quilted.

Elvy Knits: September 2008
http://elvyknits.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Or at least talks about knitting and sewing). Sunday, September 28, 2008. I used Butterick 4647. But modified it a little. http:/ www.butterick.com/item/B4647.htm? First, I added red modified piping. I was so proud of myself over the piping. I cut one-inch bias strips, folded them in half and used them instead of regular piping. I had seen this on one of No. 1's Gap pajamas from last winter. I think it works better than regular piping because there is none of the bulk. Monday, September 22, 2008. K1, P1,...

Elvy Knits: How cute is this?!
http://elvyknits.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-cute-is-this.html
Or at least talks about knitting and sewing). Friday, November 26, 2010. How cute is this? It's called the Camera Case Wristlet, pattern by Keyka Lou. The pattern is available for purchase and immediate download here: keykaloupatterns.com. The brown polka dot lining is a Japanese fabric called Sevenberries. The lining fabric is especially scrumptious. It's smoother and lighter than the average quilting fabric. You can't see from the picture, but the polka dots are so rich in hue that they ble...I am an a...

Elvy Knits: June 2010
http://elvyknits.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Or at least talks about knitting and sewing). Saturday, June 19, 2010. The fabric has been purchased, and I have a design sketched out in my head for #2's quilt. I decided to make a quilt for #2 first, because #1 has received many hand-made things whereas #2 has not. I don't dare make clothes or pajamas for #2 because he has very particular preferences at the moment. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. The second windmill baby quilt is done! Here is a close up of the border and quilting. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
