Little Bits Of Thread: Off My Needles: Ombre Chevron Hat in Doubleknit
http://alittlebitofthread.blogspot.com/2015/04/off-my-needles-ombre-chevron-hat-in.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. Off My Needles: Ombre Chevron Hat in Doubleknit. Just off the needles in time for some lovely warm weather here in Minnesota. This hat is thick and warm and sparkly (I wouldn't have it any other way). And I got to test out a lot of new to me techniques, such as decreasing in double-knit and a birdseye back with 3 colors. I thought I would put my knitting needles away for the season, but who am I kidding? Doubleknit Mitts are next. Ombre Chevron Hat pattern is available here.

Little Bits Of Thread: Cambodia: Kampot
http://alittlebitofthread.blogspot.com/2015/02/cambodia-kampot.html
Friday, February 20, 2015. Our trip rounded out in the sleepy village of Kampot, famous for peppercorns, durian, Bokor Hill and a slight respite in weather. We took an evening boat ride up the river at sunset. As we scooted along, we say hundreds of fisherman navigating their long boats and out to sea for a night of work. On our last day, we rented a moto and joined the throng of "crazy drivers" We wound our way up Bokor Hill On the way we saw. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Little Bits Of Thread: Off my Loom: Doubleweave
http://alittlebitofthread.blogspot.com/2014/12/off-loom-doubleweave.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. Off my Loom: Doubleweave. After what seemed like ages, these beauties were unleashed from the front beam. After hemming, I threw them in the wash and they came out wrinkly and weathered. A little steam and they are thick and lush. I love the inverse coloration on the opposite side. And of course the angular, modular feel of the towels in general. It made choosing a side, very difficult. December 30, 2014 at 11:54 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Off my Loom: Doubleweave.

Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Last year's Madeline Island birthday celebration. Spoiled me and of course I wanted to explore a new fun spot for my big 30 this year. I knew it would be hard to top, but my friends didn't let me down and I even got to celebrate with two of my favorite New Jerseyans and two of my favorite transplant Minnesotans. We were off to a Great Lake on the Door County Shores. We. Enjoyed buckets of mini champagne at Summertime. Successfully set up camp at Potawatami State Park. My name ...

Little Bits Of Thread: Cambodia:Silk Weaving
http://alittlebitofthread.blogspot.com/2015/02/cambodiasilk-weaving.html
Friday, February 6, 2015. The Artisans of Ankor. Tour of their silk farm was fantastic, even if you aren't a geek about fiber arts. We got to see the process from start to finish which quickly dissolved my concern about the price of the scarf I was coveting. Our first visit was to the silk worm nurseries. Like the butterflies I raise, they are ravenous eaters and a fresh pile of leaves are added daily. Once ready they are placed on a large basket with spiraling channels, where they will form their cocoons.

Friday, January 30, 2015. Cambodia: Banteay Srei and Kbal Spean. A couple of days found us venturing out into the country. The verdant rice paddies were a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the cities. From our tuk tuk we sat back and enjoyed the passing scenery of everyday life. Friday, January 23, 2015. Cambodia: Banteay Srei Butterfly Garden. Even halfway around the world, brought me to a butterfly garden. The fantastic Banteay Srei Butterfly Garden. Caterpillars in the nursery. The picture do...

Friday, April 25, 2014. 3 Years of almost constant wear drove these. Into the trash. But out of the stash came a new and very welcome update. I love the merry dots and a particularly cold afternoon inspired me to whip up matching toadstools. Friday, April 18, 2014. Off my Needles: A Cozy Sweater. A relatively quick and chunky knit. Started here. And finished just in time for the chilliest part of winter. Picture here en route to Steamboat springs in "gloriously" warm Badlands National Park. A welcome res...

Friday, May 30, 2014. On my Loom: Double weave Double work. I was excited to try a double weave cloth until I realized that double weave is double warp, double time, double work and twice as expensive. But who can deny the fun new possibilities. And so far, it has gone along swimmingly well. Friday, May 23, 2014. Friday, May 16, 2014. Although I throughly enjoyed Katniss Scarf part 1. After fulling and drying, I found my new shawl to be the perfect Spring Accessory. Friday, May 9, 2014. A Walk in Spring.
