Working Hard!

I'm hoping to flood this blog with a plethora of patterns for free and for sale.

My Red Onion Sweater is finished!

I just need to write up the pattern all pretty. The pattern is written so that I can read it, but not so much anyone else. So I write it up and for different sizes, and then it will be for sale on my Ravelry page.

I'm also re-writing my "Ribbed To Fit Boot Socks" pattern!! The girl wore through the original pair, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to improve the pattern. It will be knit in Vintage Worsted.

I'm writing down "Jared's Flippy Mitts." His original mittens were wool, and then there was milk, and his roommates washed the things and dried them. In the Dryer. So he needs new mitts. Vintage Worsted this time, since I don't trust his roommates.

Speaking of mitts, I've charted a pattern for Odin's Eagle's mosaic to turn into mitts that are made of fingering weight yarn. Ultra Alpaca, specifically.

I have a Scarf pattern on my needles that will have an accompanying Shawl pattern called Japanese Waterfall.

I'm currently knitting a super-simple hat pattern that solves some of the pointy problems that bug me about hats and uses less yarn than other solutions.

"Summer Diamonds" lacy tunic pattern is drafted! AND for multiple sizes.

Not to mention the A-Maze-Ing Nadine!! Nadine from my knitting group bought yarn, and thought she would find a pattern for it. I thought, well, let me write a pattern for it! It's a mosaic cowl. More to come...

Ribbed-To-Fit Boot Socks

Edit: Thank you for your marvelous feedback! I am re-writing this pattern with that in mind, using Vintage worsted weight. The original socks are now full of holes in the heel. Very loved. Stay tuned, and I will add a link when that's finished! These socks came about from high-quality, inexpensive yarn local to Prince Edward Island, in Canada. This is just a quick draft, but an experienced knitter should be able to make sense of most of it...I hope. In point of fact, I'm not totally done with the first one yet. Here she is so far! Materials: 2 colors, 1 skein each worsted-heavy worsted weight yarn (I used MacAusland's 3 ply, but I think Cascade 220 would be a readily available equivalent) makes 4 socks or 2 pairs set of 5 double point needles, size 8 Gauge: about 4 sts = 1", but it's not vital to the pattern. Provisionally cast on 4 sts with yarn A, using yarn B as a stitch holder. K 6 rows St st, end after a knit row. PU 4 sts on needle 2. Slide cast

Bad Blogger!

That's referring to me.  I've been kinda lax.  Ok, so really really absent minded when it comes to blogging.  I'd flagellate myself a bit more but that could get dull really fast. OREGON! The wedding was beautiful. My cousin could barely speak his vows, and they looked so incredibly happy. I'm so glad I could make it out there for many a reason. The day was glorious, the food was great, I connected with my aunts and uncles in a way that was more adult, life is very very good. I will post pics of the wine cozy when I find the camera, it turned out LOVELY! Also while there, Mums and I stopped by a fiber festival, and I gots a commission!!!!! No job at Blicks for now, but they're keeping my application at the top of the pile!! More later, I have friends coming over and my place is a bit too much like a yarn/art store for entertaining. Toodles! E

2 weeks??

I've been a horrible blogger.  No word for what...2, 3 weeks ish?  My poor readers must be wondering what they did wrong to be so neglected! I've been busy knitting like a demon! One market bag down, one almost finished, flowers, oh and a really big deal...Cousin's wedding gift is finished! I'll post pictures soon, he gets married on Saturday!!! Some of you may be wondering about the Blick's job I interviewed for.  Well, I interviewed a second time (!!!) and will know by Wednesday what's what.  I just hope I don't get a job offer provisional on me being there this weekend, since the wedding is this weekend and I really wanted to go.  If I do get an offer, then I guess I don't see my cousin for a few years since he's all the way out in Oregon.  I wish I would have said something in the interview, but I didn't think the timing would work out this way!! I delivered my first finished commission on Thursday! It's of Luvie.  I don't have
