Foreign Correspondent’s Scarf
I actually started making another Hitchhiker with this yarn, but didn’t like the way it looked (too subtle variegation) so I frogged and just looked up patterns for scarves and shawls for fingering...

Inspired by Vanilla Latte Socks
Bulk of the work was done July 16 – Aug 5; I started these during or right before my LA trip, but really restarted them after finishing the Foreign Correspondent Scarf. Lots of knitting while watching...

Terribly Simple
Even after blocking, it’s just tiny. This pattern really should be made with a MINIMUM of 300 yards of fingering weight. I don’t even know what I’m going to do with this thing. OTOH, I’d love to make...

Green Bandana
10-20-2015 I’d forgotten how long it takes to go through the part after the short rows! 10-23-2015 All done but the weaving in ends. It’s huge & cozy!

Marvel Girl
Made this on my bus ride to work. Accidentally did some K3Tog instead of the slip-k2tog-psso that’s in the pattern. Not as smooth an edge, I think, but still has the right shape. Could stand for some...

Winter Summer Cowl
Wasn’t too sure about this pattern initially, but I really like all the subtle lace/texture with the texture of the yarn. Opens up some but not a huge amount with blocking. (I even pinned it &...

Coffee Bunny
Got a little crooked, but it’s a hella cute pattern. Will probably make another with the rest of the tan Cascade Superwash 220. FWIW, did the feet as i-cord, which worked pretty well, less klutzy than...

Stella’s bee
Probably the most complex thing I’ve ever knitted. Each individual bit was not that difficult, but all together it’s a remarkably complex little work. I think I could’ve stuffed the body a little more...

Drop Stitch Mardi Gras Scarf
Can’t believe how lovely, easy, and fast this was! Will definitely make another with this pattern. Wish I’d bought another skein to make something for myself, too.

Seeta fingerless gloves
Overall: it’s a really fast pattern because it’s almost all stockinette & slipped stitches. It took me a bit to get the hang of how to do the pattern exactly, but once I got it… Having now worn...

Autumnal Mitts
I made these as an auction or door prize item for a scholarship fundraiser employee lunch at The Evergreen State College. At this gauge it’s a bit large/wide for my hands, but would fit most, I think....

Lazy Green Scarf
Made with some mystery yarn that I found in a free box across the street from Ralph’s. (I think it’s wool or a wool blend.) Something for inbetween projects to keep my hands busy. Ended up being...
View ArticleNew Era mitts
Don’t know if I’m going to keep these, as they aren’t really my style. May end up gifting, or even hold onto to sell someday? Also: still need buttons & weaving in ends, but should really consider...

The Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief
Surprisingly quick for a shawl-type project, and easy enough to follow to be able to knit in meetings. Absolutely positively needs some blocking (see comparison between the two photos!); I soaked then...

Pop Fizzle KAL
Learning brioche turned out to be one of the hardest things I’ve done with knitting in years. Just learning German Twisted Cast-On (which I ended up not using) was a struggle, then I cast on at least...

Garish Slip-Up Socks
I started making http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lace-wings-socks but the pattern really didn’t work with this yarn! So I ripped back to the cuff and went forward with this pattern instead....
