figknits: June 2015
http://figknits.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Linen Rib Tank aka Weltie! I wanted to tell you about this design when it came out in early spring, but life had other plans. Better late than never, as they say! This gets wordy, so bear with me. I guess all the blog silence has left me with a brain buildup. About a year ago, I got a call for designs from knit.purl. The new version of knit.wear. Picturing the play of ribs and welts, I grabbed some DK cotton/silk blend from my swatching yarn bin and did some sketching. I envisio...

figknits: Rainbow Cardigan
http://figknits.blogspot.com/2015/03/rainbow-cardigan.html
Monday, March 23, 2015. I just found this draft from late last year that I forgot to post! Please read all in retrospect. I finished the Fundamental Top-Down Women's Cardigan. I showed you back in September in this post. I took the past week off to relax and finish up a few personal projects and I was so glad to make this one of them. I chose the crew neck, although I tweaked it a bit. Okay, I made a slight error as I was knitting it, but I like it anyway. It's kinda like a crew-high-V neck. Skep, Espali...

Thursday, May 01, 2014. Crocheted Boxed Spring Cozies! When last I saw you, I was about halfway done with the grandtwins' fourth birthday project. Since then, I have completed them and they are in their new home! Let's take a look at how that happened. These pieces will only need to be machine washed on delicate and hung to dry when they get dirty. I did use wool, though, so they will never go into the dryer. I find that wool is just easier to work with on such a large project. It is flexible...My awesom...

Monday, December 22, 2014. I have a little gift for you. I have been contacted a few times over the last couple of years about a pattern I discontinued. I finally paid attention and did some research and found that there indeed was a need in the world for my Madrona Felted Derby. Stormy models the Madrona! It's currently only listed on Ravelry. So go there to grab it. I hope your holidays are going very well and your knitting, too! Friday, December 19, 2014. There's still time to get in on the Glentrekker.

Today I sent out the rest of the cardigan pattern updates. I added the increase instruction update to the Men's Cardigan. Pattern, and the Baby Cardigan.
