Knitting News

 

After my little knitting hiccup with following the wrong size when I did the short row shaping, then ripping out all of that hard earned knitting work, I am proud to report that I am back on track with my yoke pullover. I'm happy to be swimming in a sea of stockinette knitting. I do love simplicity and the rhythmic cadence I get into when knitting stockinette stitch.

My hat is also making slow and steady progress - I need to measure it and see how many more inches of the fair isle knitting I want to do before I do the crown shaping. Also I have to figure out the crown shaping. I charted out the fair isle pattern on a grid paper but failed to write any notes for the rest of the hat. 

What are you working on this week?

  1. I love your hat-to-be! The Fair Isle is beautiful.

    I'm working mostly on my blankets. I like that they keep me warm while I work.

  3. Pretty fair isle hat. Glad your sweater is back on track. Mindless stockinette knitting is such a lovely thing. I am doing dishcloths this week. Also mindless knitting.

  6. I am impressed that you charted out your own fair isle for the hat. Both projects are beautiful. I am working on socks from scraps and I cast on a new shawl over the weekend.

  7. I've never taken the time to figure out the decreases on my fair isle hats so I maintain a good pattern... I take the lazy way out and just decrease with the main color! I hope you share your math technique...please!!! :)

  9. Both are beautiful! I'm working on a "We are knitters" cotton Selene scarf...I finished one and left it somewhere while we were on a trip to Gulf Shores 2 years ago.

  11. Oh I just love all the color work. I like doing it too. I think my next pair of socks will be a pattern in a lovely book Allison gave me. They have small roses in just two colors going around the leg . You've inspired me.

  12. Is it crazy that it comforts me when I read that you also sometimes err when knitting? : ) I am currently still at work on the Magical Thinking un-poncho by Casapinka and realized that I had repeated two rows of stitching. Because they were tricky (for me) directions I decided to let sleeping dogs lie as I did not screw up the stitch count. The one thing knitting is teaching me is that I do not have to always be a perfectionist!
