knitting projects

as promised, i had the rocker take some pictures of my knitting for me.

this one is made with rowan biggy print… 3 skeins. the color is dull. i had made a scarf with the yarn before, and i hated it. so with this one, i did a knit 2 perl 2 pattern for 8 stiches. i think it looks a ton better than it did. when my aunt connie came to visit over the weekend, i gave it to her. it so matched her coloring. it was almost like it was made just for her. go figure.

this one is made with rowan 4-ply cotton and mohair. it’s a bit scratchy, and is more of a dress scarf. i was feeling seed-stichy when i was thinking of the yarns… so that is what happened with it. i have no idea what is happening with it. it may go to charity. it’s very pretty in person.

this is the scarf that i did make for charity. it is made with a bunch of my left over rowan kid soft. i just love rowan kid soft. it is a shame that rowan discontinued it. i’ve been buying a bunch of it on ebay (i hate ebay as much as i hate walmart). this scarf is just a straight stich, with some perl rows thrown in for fun. i’m really pleased with how it came out. i’ve been thinking about blocking it out, but i like it all rolled, so i might not.

this is the scarf that i made for someone from work. then my mother saw it. she loves it. it is made with rowan dk and rowan tweed, i think. i’ve misplaced the labels. anyway, the wonderful woman at the knitters studio in menlo park helped me pick the colors… it was supposed to have ruffles. i put on 4 sets of ruffles, and i hated them. they came off. i’ll be making another one of these. my sister loves it too. i think the color choices are excellent.

this is a prayer shawl, knit 3 perl 3. it was made with lion brand homespun. it is big enough to be a blanket, if you needed it to be. i made it for the rocker’s mother for christmas. i’m looking to make a good impression. i hope it works.

this is the current project. i’m making a poncho for missey andrea’s bump. well, for missey andrea while she is bumpy. this is ggh esprit. it is so nice and soft to knit with. i think that it is going to be beautiful when it is done. yes, it is a knitty pattern. how did you guess?
