miss elizabeth makes: Second Sock Syndrome
http://misselizabethmakes.blogspot.com/2007/10/second-sock-syndrome.html
Thursday, October 4, 2007. One is the loneliest number. The first sock is an adventure. How will the yarn look knitted? Will the stitch pattern work? Can I do it? To make, and the single sock just languishes in my knitting drawer. I need to befriend a one-legged person who loves hand knitted socks. Posted by miss elizabeth. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Miss elizabeth makes all manner of things; mostly knitted, sometimes sewn. Finished: Lace Slant Hat. Recently Completed: Skull Sweater.

miss elizabeth makes: Inception!
http://misselizabethmakes.blogspot.com/2007/10/inception.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2007. My current project is the Mirepoix Bodice [ Fall 2007 Interweave Knits. And I am a member of the Mirepoix Bodice Knitalong, also (sidebar). This will be my first fair isle project. I think it's a really beautiful sweater; I've never done fair isle before because I'm generally not interested in the more traditional patterns, but this one has a very modern style to it. Posted by miss elizabeth. I know it's a pain to do it, but you can try it on while you go, to see where exactly y...

miss elizabeth makes: Recently Completed: Skull Sweater
http://misselizabethmakes.blogspot.com/2007/10/recently-completed-skull-sweater.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2007. Recently Completed: Skull Sweater. This is a sweater I made for my son. I'm extremely proud of it. It was, easily, the most maddening, frustrating thing I've ever knitted. I pretty much hate intarsia now, even though I have to admit it looks great when you finish. Thankfully, my son loves it. When I gave it to him he said, "This looks as good as something from a store! I know he meant it as the highest compliment, but I thought, kid, there's nothing. Like this in any store!

miss elizabeth makes: Recently Completed: Vintage Style Cardigan
http://misselizabethmakes.blogspot.com/2007/10/recently-completed-vintage-style.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2007. Recently Completed: Vintage Style Cardigan. This is a cardigan I designed. I used Artful Yarns Fable. The color is called Cinderella (no. 99), and I knit it on US sz.5 addis. I really love this yarn, it's 85% cotton and 15% silk, and each of the four strands are dyed a different complimentary color, in this case blues and greens. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued, but lucky for me I bought a whole bunch on closeout at Webs. It also has set in pockets, which are very handy.

They say a can of paint is the cheapest way to make a big impact on a room, and they may be right, but I think removing things can be even more dramatic. You knew the brick arches were coming down, right? In addition to being in the way, they blocked all the light in the back part of the room. When we agreed to buy this house. I made Doug swear to these two conditions:. 1 We would keep the original double oven. 2 The brick arches were coming down. Many charities will come pick up furniture and appliances.

miss elizabeth makes: Finished: Lace Slant Hat
http://misselizabethmakes.blogspot.com/2007/10/finished-lace-slant-hat.html
Saturday, October 6, 2007. Finished: Lace Slant Hat. I think I'm in love. First, the yarn; Mountain Colors 4/8's Wool in the wild raspberry colorway. I bought it Thursday night when I went to my "Knit In" at That Yarn Shop. The colors are wonderful, and it has that squishy warmth that seems to be the sole provenance of wool, but with absolutely no scratch. I mean, you could knit underwear out of this stuff. As soon as I saw it, I knew what I wanted to make with it: the Lace Slant Hat. Other Things To See.

Tuesday, October 30, 2007. I've been working steadily on my Mirepoix Bodice, and I finally have something to post about it! I have a little more than seven inches of the fair isle completed. I've established the neck and armhole steeks; they are about three inches long, and my shaping is almost done. I have to say, this is one of the most satisfying sweaters I've worked on in a while. I'm surprised at how much I like doing fair isle; I guess I can quit avoiding it now! Posted by miss elizabeth. It was so...
