Half Baked Objects: And now a better photo
http://spritelygoods.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-now-better-photo.html
Tuesday, March 09, 2010. And now a better photo. These are classic leather-wrapped buttons to go along with the classic design of this cardigan. Not sure how everyone else approaches it, but my button jar is rather barren - I tend to finish a project.then I drag it into the knitting store where I can "try on" buttons or finishing accents at will :). Yeah, I am not a button collector, too. I rather knit something and then find buttons to match. And the leather buttons really finish it off in grand style.

Half Baked Objects: More Slippers for the House Elves
http://spritelygoods.blogspot.com/2010/01/more-slippers-for-house-elves.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. More Slippers for the House Elves. Or rather, for the other House Elf :) These are a pair for my husband since the originals. To ensure a proper fit this time, I knitted the wide version, and knit on the foot a bit longer than recommended to accommodate felting shrinkage. They do have a fair bit of stretch to them when they are wet, so they can certainly be stretched to fit, within reason. Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Half Baked Objects: November 2009
http://spritelygoods.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 15, 2009. From the fall 2009 Twist Collective. SuDan Hug-a-sheep handspun 2-ply Border Leicester (from a sheep named Libby on SuDan farm in Oregon). Ravelry fails me - or rather I failed and didn't enter the data. I can't remember if I used US4 or US5 or US6. Regardless, there was math involved. I love it. This was a fast and fairly simple knit - and it was especially interesting because it's seamless. I love learning new techniques, don't you? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Knit it, Violet!: April 2006
http://violetsknits.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Knit it, Violet! Finished objects, works in progress, and lots of rambling about two sticks and some string. Sunday, April 30, 2006. What's on the needles? Both call for knitted gifts, if you ask me. What you see on the needles is the garter stitch cloche, which the baby on the cover is modeling. it has an unusual construction, with short rows, but it's very straightforward and easy. if you haven't checked out this book, knitting for baby. Do it right now! Then of course, there's the sock, chugging along.
