WIPW: blue and green | Stinging Needle
https://stingingneedle.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/wipw-blue-and-green
WIPW: blue and green. Asymp; Leave a comment. Is coming along well – we have a heel! The sock and shawl I’ve been working on are too complex for social knitting, so this project should be nice to have around for my Thursday night knitting group. Also – those are straight needles! I use almost entirely circulars these days; the weight of the wool hanging on the straights takes some adjusting to right now. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

WIP: a sock | Stinging Needle
https://stingingneedle.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/wip-a-sock
Asymp; 2 Comments. Hello, and apologies for the absence. Let me show you my current work-in-progress:. I picked up some Sweet Georgia Yarn whilst visiting Santa Cruz, California. In my experience, California is blessed with so many good yarn shops; The Swift Stitch. Make the experience sweeter with a trip to the neighboring French bakery.). The rich, emerald green of the wool caught my eye immediately. I should have had colors of the sea on my mind, though. I always find the ocean inspiring. You are comm...

Wool-tastic on a Saturday | Stinging Needle
https://stingingneedle.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/wool-tastic-on-a-saturday
Wool-tastic on a Saturday. Asymp; 1 Comment. On Saturday, I went to check out Wool-tastic. At the National Museum of Scotland. The event was part of the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival. The entrance court to the museum was transformed into a knitting oasis, covered in new and experienced knitters. Some were learning to finger knit, others were creating pompoms, and I decided to take a crack at the pattern for a little bunny. My bunny is to the left, and my friend Amy. Larr; Previous post.

Asymp; Leave a comment. The socks carry on (honestly, two feet? So I will fill this space with something to cheer up both you and me. My sister likes to make earrings as gifts, and some time ago, she gave me this pair:. Tiny sweaters, on the needle! I wore them to my knitting group last week, and took secret pleasure in knowing that my ears mirrored my hands’ work. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

This is the first mitten, sans thumb. The houndstooth pattern makes these mittens doubly thick, and they shall be wonderfully warm come wintertime. Hurrah for new projects! Larr; Previous post.

FO: Sumatra | Stinging Needle
https://stingingneedle.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/fo-sumatra
Asymp; 2 Comments. With knitting, I like a bit of yin and yang, some balance. Are you like me? Do you oscillate between small, manageable projects and the larger, more ambitious WIPs? I’ve been working away at socks a lot lately, and there’s a shawl I’ve had on the needles for over a year that I want to complete. But, I still set it all down to make a twee little cover for my french press. After all, warm coffee is often required to motivate those knitting muscles. Larr; Previous post. Next post →.

Greetings From Glasgow | Stinging Needle
https://stingingneedle.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/greetings-from-glasgow
Asymp; 1 Comment. Scotland is a very, very good place to be a knitter. I feel fortunate that I learned the craft in a country with such a rich knitting history (plus it helps that Scotland gets a lot of sweater weather! On Saturday I took the train to Glasgow with my boyfriend. We headed toward Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Socks knit from wool from Soay sheep on St Kilda. Balls of Soay wool – and a rather handsome gull. And, best of all, there was a sheep! So, whilst I immediately fell in love wit...
