Do you ever make a mistake in your knitting and debate if you should rip back or start over? You don’t have to make that choice! I recently made a mistake in a cabled project and was able to rip out just that offending section, saving me a lot of time in ripping back the …
Have you ever dived into a knitting pattern and then gotten stuck on the project? Or worse, it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to? It might not have been your fault, just a poorly written knitting pattern! I’m going to show you how to read a knitting pattern so the next time …
Remember my Cederberg Spacewalk progress post? It’s finally finished! I’m so very happy with how the colors turned out, and would love to use this color combination in another project in the future. This shawl turned out to be so very long! It’s much longer than a scarf! I usually like asymmetrical shawls but I …
Have you knit legwarmers before? I have been wanting to make a pair ever since I started knitting, but always put it off because all those fingering-weight rounds were intimidating! I finally found the perfect pattern in friendly plush worsted weight yarn in Felicia Lo’s Après sock pattern, from the book Operation Sock Drawer. These …
I’ve been wanting to make a Cederberg shawl for a long time but have been putting it off because it’s a huge undertaking (three whole skeins of sock yarn!) and I couldn’t locate the color combination I wanted to use. I fell in love with a limited time color (Intergalactic) that was only available through …
Have you tried knitting brioche yet? I just finished this Camella Hat in Dream in Color Cosette Grow and Ivy Snowbell, and I think it would be a great first brioche project! I purchased the yarn at a festival in 2019, and had planned to make a different brioche project with it. Can you believe …
I recently took the leftovers from my Sailing Strawberry Tea sweater and made them into a hat I call my Strawberry Tea Rambler! I never thought it was possible to make a hat in a weekend until this project! Brooklyn Tweed sent me a copy of Rambler by Irina Dmitrieva once in an order. The …
I wove this Color Gamp Shawl last year, but I postponed finishing the fringe until after the holidays! A color gamp is usually a sample to see how woven colors interact together, but this is made as a larger shawl. The Color Gamp Shawl is featured in the School of SweetGeorgia’s Handwoven Colour course, which …
One of the things I’ve been focusing on this year is learning how to weave. I borrowed a copy of Inventive Weaving on a Little Loom from the library (and later purchased my own copy). I also purchased a subscription to the School of SweetGeorgia and have been enjoying the classes there! It’s not quite …
Another project finished! I completed this Sailing Sweater some time ago but finally found time this weekend to weave in the ends and take photos. It’s a bit unconventional but I like it; I’m looking forward to wearing it as a warm up layer before my dance classes. I made the regular size using 6 …
