Will Knit for Math: January 2015
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Will Knit for Math. Saturday, January 24, 2015. I'm really enjoying how the shawl is turning out and how great the shifting colors look. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Monday, January 19, 2015. Monday, January 12, 2015. Saturday, January 10, 2015. I started a new knitting project last week with some of my Christmas yarn. It's a Multnomah. Shawl in Freia Handpaints Ombre Lace. It's knitting up pretty quickly so far, and the pattern is really easy to follow. I came up with a clever stitch-marker scheme t...

Will Knit for Math: December 2014
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Will Knit for Math. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Baby Tea Leaves Sweater finished! I finished this little sweater for my niece last night. I had hoped to finish it in time to mail it before the post office's deadline for packages to get there before Christmas, but I didn't really even come close. It will be a New Year's gift instead. I would definitely make this sweater again. There is also a version for older girls and for adults. I kind of want to make the adult version for myself. Live, love, quilt.

Will Knit for Math: March 2015
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Will Knit for Math. Saturday, March 28, 2015. This discovery, Thursday morning just as I was trying to grab my knitting and get out the door to go to work, prompted me to think about my gauge, and to calculate out the intended gauge of the pattern. I really think it's ridiculous that this pattern (which is not free! Doesn't the pattern writer realize that people are likely to get wildly different gauges for dense stranded colorwork and plain stockinette? Saturday, March 14, 2015. I've almost used up the ...

Will Knit for Math: Travel knitting #1
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015/04/travel-knitting-1.html
Will Knit for Math. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Weekend before last I traveled for a conference, and I needed some knitting to take with me. The next step in my Lofoten sweater is the colorwork band at the bottom of the body, which is decidedly not portable. (It involves five colors of yarn! I'm using Fleegle's toe-up sock formula. With ribbing and cabling inspired by these socks. I think I spent two hours or so to get as far as this photo shows: one and a half short flights. View my complete profile.

Will Knit for Math: Tour de Fleece: Stages 10 & 11
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015/07/tour-de-fleece-stages-10-11.html
Will Knit for Math. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Tour de Fleece: Stages 10 and 11. On Tuesday (Tour de Fleece Stage 10) I finished spinning the singles of my 2 oz of Wensleydale. I figured out/remembered that I could spin it long draw from the fold and that made a huge difference! It went much faster and more smoothly. I have no idea what weight this is or how many yards I have - I still need to skein it off and wash it. Today I get to spin something new! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Live, love, quilt.

Will Knit for Math: April 2015
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Will Knit for Math. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Half Moon Modern Half Square Triangles! I finished my Half Moon Modern HST quilt! This might be my favorite quilt of all the ones I've made so far. I love the asymmetry, the negative space, and the prints on the fabrics. There are big polka dots on the back and the binding is the paisley print from the Half Moon Modern collection. The quilt top was made from two charm packs of Half Moon Modern and grey yardage, and the batting is Warm and Natural. Into a cover...

Will Knit for Math: February 2015
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Will Knit for Math. Thursday, February 26, 2015. I quilted my modern HST quilt . two, maybe three weeks ago. Then I attached the binding, sat down to sew it down to the back, got almost to the first corner, and saw this:. I had a great time at Quiltcon last weekend, and took a few pictures. I also bound off my gradient Multnomah shawl last night. I'll be so excited to post reports on both of those after we get moved! Monday, February 16, 2015. Getting ready for Quiltcon! Saturday, February 14, 2015.

Will Knit for Math: July 2015
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Will Knit for Math. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Tour de Fleece Finish! Here is what I accomplished during the Tour de Fleece, which ended on Sunday. I finished spinning the singles, plied, and washed my green gradient shetland. I ended up with about 468 yards total, including both skeins (the larger, darker skein is about 357 yds and the smaller, lighter on is about 110 yds). I think it's approximately sport weight, but I haven't checked. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Tour de Fleece: Stages 12-16. Between my myste...

Will Knit for Math: Swans Island Socks finished
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015/07/swans-island-socks-finished.html
Will Knit for Math. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Swans Island Socks finished. I finished my Swans Island Socks last weekend. I'm really happy with how they turned out! I used Swans Island sock yarn, which is an organic superwash wool. It's a really beautiful color and has great texture and stitch definition. The socks are soft and stretchy. I made up the pattern as I went along, using Fleegle's toe-up heel. The cables at the toes and cuffs are inspired by these socks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Will Knit for Math: Hydrangea Mystery Shawl!
http://willknitformath.blogspot.com/2015/08/hydrangea-mystery-shawl.html
Will Knit for Math. Monday, August 10, 2015. I finished my Hydrangea Mystery Knit-a-long Shawl. Last week. I think the edging turned out beautifully! It has an interesting construction method: a long narrow edging is knitted, then stitches are picked up along one edge and the shawl is knitted up from the bottom edge with decreases in each of two side triangles, with a lace panel in the center. I have a ton of yarn left over! Hydrangea Mystery Knit-a-long Shawl. By Courtney Kelley for the Fibre Company.
