obsessed with knitting: clap, clap, clap
http://obsessedwithknitting.blogspot.com/2009/06/clap-clap-clap.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. Clap, clap, clap. Why oh why did I knit another Clapotis? This is my third. Do I need three shawl/scarves that don't work perfectly as either. After much soul searching I find two major reason why I knit my third:. 1) I was seduced by the yarn. 2) I like a simple knit. The Clapotis, Log Cabin Blanket, and Pinwheel all share a special attribute. They are easy, simple, but very clever designs that produce striking and unusual objects. I would like to know about more like th...Butto...

obsessed with knitting: a little progress
http://obsessedwithknitting.blogspot.com/2009/05/little-progress.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. I haven't been working much on the Learn to Knit Afghan. I guess other projects have been more compelling lately. But I did sew the first column together and loved the results. Here is a photo. Here is another view. The panel is too long to photograph as one strip, so it is folded over. Here is the last square I finished. Labels: learn to knit afghan. My first thought when that photo popped up on screen was: "What a cute scarf! May 12, 2009 at 10:12 AM. Blue Shoes and Happiness Scarf.

obsessed with knitting: March 2009

Monday, March 30, 2009. Dilly dilly and the lifestyle. How old do you have to be to remember the nursery song Lavender Blue? It goes "Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green." So I named these socks Dilly after the color and to rhyme with the matching sweater I'm making that I call Jilly. More about Jilly later. I'm on the last sleeve. The pattern is Charlene Schurch's (aren't you tired of reading this illustrious name on my blog? What makes these socks a little interesting though is that this typ...

obsessed with knitting: here comes cookie

Thursday, April 30, 2009. I've had Cookie A's long-awaited book for a couple of weeks now and have had a chance to go through it. It's called. And it's a doozy. Here is a picture of the cover. In no way does this endorsement of Cookie A. indicate an abandonment of my beloved Charlene Schurch. On the contrary, Cookie's book affirms the value of. More Sensational Knitted Socks. Another book is worth mentioning in the context of sock design. That is Vogue. Knitting The Ultimate Sock Book.

obsessed with knitting: 2008 finished objects
http://obsessedwithknitting.blogspot.com/2009/01/2008-finished-objects.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. Blue Shoes and Happiness Scarf. I first made this as part of my 2006 Christmas scarf project. I re-knit it to have photos to go with the pattern I posted in January. March: Ann Budd Basic Socks. April: A Thousand Acres. It took about five months of on and off knitting to finish this. It is the design from Folk Shawls by Cheryl Oberle that I most admire. It is really beautiful. In one of the posts that featured this shawl I vowed to never make another shawl and then...I so love...

obsessed with knitting: the devil's pinwheel
http://obsessedwithknitting.blogspot.com/2009/06/devils-pinwheel.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. The Ravelry pages showed lots of stellar examples of this blanket. I was particularly taken with this one. Which convinced me that this was a project that uses variegated yarn to advantage. I spent hours shopping on line, and narrowed down my choices. Lorna's Laces Shepherd. Even if I could get more of the colorway (doubtful), I didn't want to spend $150 on this project. And what is up with this pattern? Labels: dream in color classy. June 15, 2009 at 11:45 AM. Im so glad you chang...

Saturday, January 24, 2009. Anne on Knitting for Baby. I'm very fond of Melanie Falick's Knitting for Baby: 30 Heirloom Projects with Complete How-to-Knit Instructions. Two of my projects came out of Knitting for Baby. The first project were the Beginner Booties. Here they are, modeled by Rosie:. Next I made the Garter Stitch Cloche:. Links to this post. Monday, January 19, 2009. Look what i did. Yesterday, without much thought, I sat down and made this:. The idea must have come from two sources: Mason D...

Saturday, May 30, 2009. I recently finished my ninth and tenth pairs of socks. I feel like I should stop for a while, especially since I rarely wear socks in the summer. But I probably won't. I made this pair for Anne in her favorite color. I used the good ol' Schurch Double Moss stitch. Here. Is its Ravelry page. Is its Ravelry link. Another weird thing was the star toe. This toe is what the designer used, so I thought I'd try it. I noticed that some ravelry people thought that this toe was so u...Maizy...
