bollewangenhaptoet: more barkcloth
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/06/more-barkcloth.html
Friday, 28 June 2013. This is the other barkcloth fabric that I am using to make the floor cushions. When we first moved to Seattle, I had no idea really of distance so when I saw interesting yard sales advertised on Craig's List I just thought, oh yeah, I'll go there. This took me to the residential back blocks of Edmonds, Renton, Kirkland, Redmond, all sorts of places. It was a learning experience. I still have quite a lot of mending to do on them yet. It is curious that the damage appears to be ca...

bollewangenhaptoet: are we there yet?
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/05/are-we-there-yet.html
Monday, 20 May 2013. Are we there yet? Really, what more is there that I can tell or show of this knitting project that I haven't before? I'm working on it - same story. Repeat 7 of the second side looks just like repeat 6 and just like repeat 5 and - same stitch pattern, over and over. So, I am currently seven repeats in, two and a half and an edging to go. Definitely before this project turns three in December! So good to see the shawl again; its become a long-time dear friend. 24 May 2013 at 14:32.

bollewangenhaptoet: bookmark me
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/04/its-hard-to-tell-you-how-much-this.html
Thursday, 25 April 2013. It's hard to tell you how much this photograph absolutely delights me. Yes, it's a poor quality i-phone photo that I've fiddled with the contrast on but that's not the point. The point is all those little post-it notes stuck in there. The book is Intemporels pour enfants: Modèles et patrons de 2 à 8 ans. Rough translation: Classics for children: designs and patterns from 2 to 8 years. By Astrid Le Provost, whom I believe is behind the French company Citronille. 4 May 2013 at 01:05.

bollewangenhaptoet: gaspard le nuage d'orage
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/06/gaspard-le-nuage-dorage.html
Monday, 10 June 2013. Gaspard le nuage d'orage. Gaspard the storm cloud. By Christine Rouvillé from WMD Les Wouimardis. In Composition Book Grey. 8 May to 8 June 2013 - one month (plus a day)! Then I divided the work to knit the upper fronts and upper back from bottom up and didn't cast off at the shoulders which I grafted together (but wouldn't do this again as there does need to be some reinforcement there - three-needle bind off would be a better choice). I think that this may be my first time knittin...

bollewangenhaptoet: the coffee pot theory of creativity
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-coffee-pot-theory-of-creativity.html
Monday, 27 May 2013. The coffee pot theory of creativity. Ah, rather than the crack pot theory. Or maybe it's really a theory about motivation, that it's all bubbling around like coffee in a percolator. Until something comes to the top and threatens to spume out in a great cloud of steam unless you do something about it, right now. I am actually serious. I had one of these moments on Friday evening past - just had to get the patterns that miss bear had chosen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Oliver s...

bollewangenhaptoet: sara's hat
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/06/saras-hat.html
Wednesday, 5 June 2013. Last time I made something for Sara. Was when she turned one. Of course, she's at school now and needs a woolly hat for winter. In '1441 Spruce' (100 per cent wool); 2 skeins. 65mm for the ribbing, 7mm for the rest . 2 June to 4 June 2013. Such a useful idea this book, yet the available gauges don't really add up to anything useful. At least, there's no 5.25 stitches per inch which gives a good basic dk-weight gauge of 22 stitches per 4 inches. Hope it keeps her warm! Andrea's sha...

bollewangenhaptoet: gaspard grows up
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/05/gaspard-grows-up.html
Sunday, 19 May 2013. I'm having a wonderful time knitting this little pullover. I have finished the kangaroo pocket and cast it off with a neat three-needle bind-off that attaches it to the neckline (note to self with regard to three-needle bind-off: for goodness sake, don't forget to actually cast the stitches off, not just knit the two pieces of fabric together).

bollewangenhaptoet: trenery
http://bollewangenhaptoet.blogspot.com/2013/05/trenery.html
Sunday, 5 May 2013. Trenerry is the name of the street where Country Road had its headquarters once (originally? But I'm not sure how I'd pronounce that either. Anyway, Trenery came into being while we were living in the US and I wasn't really sure why it existed alongside Country Road (but I do now thanks to google, it's supposedly for the slightly older crowd).
