BeeKnits: The Beast
http://beeknit.blogspot.com/2009/04/beast.html
How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Monday, April 27, 2009. But all was made much easier by the purchase of some cable connectors so I had a 40" 32" cable joined together. Hence the name: The Beast. I blocked it by soaking it in the bath (it got even heavier! And MIL loves it :). October 10, 2010 at 10:29 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My 365 Photo Blog. One Face For Every Day. Wife in the North. Felted Ruffle Drawstring Bag.

BeeKnits: Another Use for Lace Yarn

How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Another Use for Lace Yarn. Yes, I have cast on yet another project. How could I resist when it addresses one of my current problems: what can I knit with a million skeins of laceweight yarn when I cant figure out what to do with shawls when I have finished them? I do love knitting with the smaller needles and tiny yarn, so imagine my joy when I saw the pattern for the Whisper Cardigan. One slight snag is that I on...

How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Felted Ruffle Drawstring Bag. I needed a little bag for Molly to put some bits in for our flight next week. I got the idea for this for some gaming dice bags on Ravelry, but none seemed quite right so I kind of made this one up. I got a bit bored by the end so decided to do a little ruffle at the top. Heres how I did it:. 1 skein (plus a little bit) of Rowan Tapestry. Inc 1, K2] for one round (200st). I going to ...

How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Friday, March 28, 2008. I thought I would post a photo of my 'learning curve' on designing my cupcake pattern. As you can see, the first is too round and the second is too fat! The first 2 are in DK, and the final one in aran weight. I am quite pleased I managed to perfect it in only 3 goes :). And here is a whole plate of them I made for a friends daughter. Yum! Coming soon: The Slice Of Cake Learning Curve. 4 Have started another Debbi...

BeeKnits: Spring Bunnies
http://beeknit.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-bunnies.html
How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Monday, April 27, 2009. A treat for the girls for Easter. They sit on eggs. I love them, although annoyingly the girls were more interested in plastic tat eggs from the 'Easter Bunny'. Humph. They are from a pattern from Little Cotton Rabbits. Interesting blog. It would be great if you can provide more details about it. August 4, 2011 at 8:23 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My 365 Photo Blog. One Face For Every Day.

BeeKnits: February 2008
http://beeknit.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Friday, February 29, 2008. I bought Molly some knitted cupcakes from ebay for her birthday last year, pre-knitting days. Oh they are so cute! So now I am feeling a bit more confident, I have been working on making some for myself. The first few attempts were a bit dodgy (too round.like a Christmas pudding! Or too big. In the end I realised I needed a different yarn (aran instead of DK) and lo and behold, here is the result! Row 17: (K4, ...

BeeKnits: January 2009
http://beeknit.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Saturday, January 24, 2009. So last summer I got myself a construction set in the US, and made myself a lovely low tech piece of kit for winding yarn. Those poshies with oodles of cash can by themselves a swift. For holding skeins of yarn that need to be wound into a ball. Elegant though they are (and yes, I do lust after one) we have neither the money or space for one. And I made my own. Woot! By Ilga Leja. Isnt it lovely? Manos del Uru...

How Knitting Rules My Life. With other stuff squeezed in. Possibly. Saturday, June 28, 2008. I think I am hooked on lace! So, to list:. 1 Creatures of the Reef Shawl. Intended for my Grandmother-in-law. I couldnt resist the little sea creatures and since she lives by the beach, I thought it appropriate. I am enjoying doing it, but it is a long project.I have almost finished the crab/seahorse section and am dying to get to the starfish! 2 Lace Ribbon Shawl. 3 Started this morning the Isobel. And another t...
