And knits move on
Monday, March 7, 2011 at 7:39PM My knitting over the past few months has been rather erratic, I'm all over the board with mini-knits to large full on sweater knits. Not that I'm complaining, I do love the variety in the knits, and crochets lately but sometimes I sit back and really want to focus on more fulfulling knitting.
At this point in my knitting reportoire I've grown to really enjoy the satisfaction of edgy, elegant, intricate, creative patterns. So what gets in the way of me knitting all that my heart desires?
My Harry Potter escapades! Yes, I'm a HP fan, along with being a Twilight fan. There's a fantastic group on Rav that is HP themed and there's actually classes per month turning in knitting and crocheting items. It's rather fun actually, but it can actually be pretty busy as well. So here are a few gallery pictures of FO's from January and February.
In other areas I did finish the lovely Rosamund Cardi for Pico Accuardi Dyeworks at Stitches West 2011
This is the last picture I took of Rosamund (this is knit in Guiseppe "thick/thin" yarn from PAD), I should be getting a complete picture soon, but it turned out gorgeous!
I also started a new Acorns sweater, using lovely PAD yarn in Negro con Rojo, it's absolutely lovely!
Now onto Solstice Slip socks, I was actually done with these babies but frogged because I felt they were too long. So now I'll pick this up again to make the right length. The heel was literally about 1.5 or 2 inches of extra length of the foot, vastly threw off my length!
I'll also be starting these cute Arista Gauntlets, another great one from PAD
And finally I've started a new Cotton Candy Hearts Blankie, using Cotton Candy yarn. It's all eco and all soft cotton. Feels so silky and soft knit up. I believe this will be a present for one of my nieces, definitely not for me!
Phew! Ok see you Wednesday! Time to get back on track with all my duties, I do believe time has been off lately.
Happy Monday!
