Yarn Dreams

:::dances around:::
It’s done It’s done It’s done It’s done.
Actually, it was done September 6th. I love it.
And I am never making a one piece, top down, bulky yarn, oversize cardigan again. Especially not during the summer.

I feel like I need to say that it actually does fit very well, even [...]

And so begins the backlog of FO posts. This is a project that had been on my radar for years. I first saw it on Craftster and filed it away in my memory as “something to do sometime”. When I came across it again on Ravelry last [...]

Two things I have been thinking about on my Citrus Yoke Pullover are the edges and the collar.
The pattern calls for the edges to be plain stockinette which will obviously roll. I like the look of the plain stockinette edge – but without the roll. I realize this [...]

I have wanted to write this post all week, but either didn’t felt like turning my computer on after work or I’d turn it off before remembering to post. I feel like I have been stuck in a fog lately, where I can’t even get myself to do the things I [...]

Actually, I should call this “Something Slate”.

I am very happy with this sweater, even though it took me forever to finish. I checked my notes and it was started way back on October 5 of last year! Sheesh. In my defense, I didn’t work on it for a number of months [...]

The button band and collar turned out a little funky. I didn’t pick up enough stitches down the front edges of the cardigan for the button band, and [...]

I am trying hard to finish my Something Red sweater before startitis kicks in too badly and it is cast aside for something more exciting. I want to be able to wear this thing before it is too warm outside. That’s probably not much of a concern seeing how cold it still is here, [...]

I started the Something Red sweater from Knit and Tonic back in October. (Had to check my notes to even remember!) I cast on, worked about 10 rows, and put it down to knit Christmas gifts. I finally picked it up last week and remembered how much I love it. More [...]

I actually finished almost a month ago, but I was just able to take photos a few days ago after work.

(It was a little windy!)

Cascade 220 Tweed, color #7611. I used 5 and a little bit skeins.
The pattern is from Fitted Knits.
Started: July 3, 2007
Finished: September 26, 2007

I am very happy with the finished [...]
