Download via Ravelry) OR get the instructions straight from the designer's blog. Yarn: Debbie Bliss Rialto, superwash merino (because baby things *should* be washable. Needles: US 4 and 5.

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).

Half Baked Objects: Colorwork Cozy

http://spritelygoods.blogspot.com/2010/01/colorwork-cozy.html

Tuesday, January 05, 2010. Pattern: None - this was dreamed up in my head with the assistance of some chart motifs from Alice Starmore's Fair Isle book. Yarn: A variety of leftovers and sample skeins in my stash - all fingering weight. The tan yarn is a merino-possum blend, the ecru is pure merino wool, and the green is a silk blend - I just don't remember what the silk is blended with. Even better, if I happened to have made a mistake in the knitting, no one will know ;) because it all blends together :D.

Half Baked Objects: May 2010

http://spritelygoods.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Velvet Leaf. Size: to fit a womens size 9. Comments: I have no idea why these took so long to come off the needles - they are a simple and straightforward knit provided you don't do like I did and pick up way too many stitches for the gusset ;) I blame it on the fact that I typically do not knit top down socks because I always get paranoid that I'll run out of yarn.
