Calling on Kahlo: More knitted stuff...
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2009/01/more-knitted-stuff.html
So, I combined two patterns into this one and sorta just went with it. I hope it fits the baby it is intended (at some point in its lifetime). It is the Cascade Superwash Handpainted yarn which is really nice to knit. I thought the buttons were very cute and afterwards I realized I could have made the heart pattern larger. If I made it again I would make the body in one color and the trim and heart in a contrasting color. I am still thinking about this whole pattern process. We had a good time during our...

Calling on Kahlo
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/index.html
When stressed it results in a bad case of startitis. Granted, I finished the Infinity Scarf, I have now started the Wedge scarf in sock yarn. In fact, I am using the Madelintosh Sock Yarn which I picked up from Patricia's Yarns. It is a relatively quick pattern and if I actually paid attention the garter stitch bars would be even in between the lace. Before you ask, the answer is obviously another Hemlock Ring Blanket. The real question is do I make the blanket for myself or a family member. Nothing....

Calling on Kahlo: The Red Scarf
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2007/10/red-scarf.html
I thought I was using the pillar stitch when I made the red scarf. In reality, I did something different and voila now it is the red scarf pattern. This scarf was made for the Orphan Foundation of America. YO… Yarn Over. YF… Bring yarn forward. YB… Bring yarn back. Berroco Ultra Alpaca (2 skeins). Size 8 US Needle. 18 stitches over 4 inches in stockinette stitch (however it’s a scarf- gauge is not critical). 5” X 60”. Cast on 29 stitches. Repeat Rows 1&2 until desired length. Add Fringe if you would like.

Calling on Kahlo: Tom's Basketweave Scarf
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2007/10/toms-basketweave-scarf.html
Someone was really nice and asked for the pattern to this scarf I made for my FIL. It is a slight variation of the scarf I made my dad. BTW, the photos don't show the basketweave well (oh well) which is obvious when you see it in person and the yarn is very soft and pretty. Here's the details. Size 7 US Needle. 20 stitches over 4 inches in stockinette stitch (it’s a scarf- gauge is not critical). 8” X 60”. Cast on 38 stitches. Border: Knit Seed Stitch (k1,p1) for six rows. Design by Andreas Viklund.

Calling on Kahlo
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2010/01/yeah-i-am-sorta-back.html
I am sorta back. Ben and I went to Hoboken this past Saturday for some exploration. We found a coffee shop where I tasted the most delicious drink called a Sugar and Spice Latte. It was a beautiful day to explore downtown Hoboken. Ironically, I have been knitting the 5th Avenue Infinity Scarf which one of the employees of PY designed. I had some skeins of SWTC Karaoke in the stash which came out oh so nicely. It is a very easy pattern to memorize. 5th Ave Infinity Scarf by Tenten knits.

Calling on Kahlo: Ten Stitch Blanket Feeding my habit
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2009/02/ten-stitch-blanket-feeding-my-habit.html
Ten Stitch Blanket Feeding my habit. Irony: the money I made on yarn destashing went to purchase this yarn. Go figure! Such a pretty blanket! I've done the same thing recently: sold yarn and bought more:-). I think it would be great for sock yarn leftovers too. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Design by Andreas Viklund.

Calling on Kahlo: Updates
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2009/01/updates.html
The retired Log Cabin Blanket was pulled out on the first night of my Christmas break. I finished the red band (on the right), the green band, and the brown. I am a few skeins away from finishing this generous lap blanket. I will probably start another lap blanket for Ben's office when I finish this one. This is some Queensland Chunky I bought years ago and I attempted to mimic Ben's house scarf when he was in school in the UK. A bright and colorful dishcloth made out of Cotton Classic.

Calling on Kahlo: Hot Mama Socks and Ten Stitch Blanket
http://callingonkahlo.blogspot.com/2009/02/hot-mama-socks-and-ten-stitch-blanket.html
Hot Mama Socks and Ten Stitch Blanket. I found the ten stitch blanket and Ravery. Yummy. So, I pulled out the four skeins of Noro I have and started and knitting. I then realized that this colorway is discontinued. I wanted to stick with this color, so after research I found two shops that sell the specific colorway and sadly for full price. Ironically, the shop emailed me a coupon for their store right after the purchase. Here is the blanket (without the cat posing). I love that blanket!
