All for Me!

posted Thursday, 9 January 2003

Tilt. Knitty.com pattern. Noro Silk Garden. Started Oct 2005. Finished Feb 2006. The silk, it stretches. I worked to get all the colors to match in the yoke pieces. Spit splicing took place daily!

Flower Basket Shawl, Fiber Trends. Araucania Atacama Alpaca. Started and finished July 2006.

Flower Basket Shawl, Evelyn Clark Fiber Trends pattern. Unknown yarn content, wool of some sort. Stole it from in front of my friend's face, without realizing it. I thought she was showing it to me since she knows I love anything green! $1.00 a skein. Love it! Started July 2006, Finished Aug 2006.

Ene's Scarf, from Scarf Style, makes a shawl when you use Sport weight yarn! Misti Alpaca Sport in a lovely burnt orange. Absolutely Favorite Shawl of the moment!!!! It drapes so well. Started Sept 2006, Finished Oct 2006. 

Iro Capelet. Self Designed pattern. Noro Iro Yarn. Started/Finished Oct 2006.

Kaybelle. Berroco pattern. Gedifra Yarn - Trends Color. Made it longer on the advice of the Webs sales lady. Wrong move. It grows! Love the button, found both yarn and button at Stitches Midwest 2006. Started knitting it before I left Chicago! Started Aug 2006, Finished Nov 2006. The first weekend I wore it was to a museum and I got so many compliments. 

As You Like It. Jane Campbell pattern. Socks That Rock Heavyweight. Started and finished April 2007.   

Lady Eleanor. Noro Kureyon. Started/Finished Oct 2007. Love it! Tying the fringe was just about as long as knitting the Entrelac. Started another from remaining yarn for my knitting bud! 

Swallowtail. Pattern from Interweave Knits. Koigu 319, 2 dyelots. I used the odd lot on the last border, alternating 1 to 1 rows. Had about 36" left of the original color. Made for ME!!!!!! May 2008

Tzarina. Interweave Wrap Style. Alpaca with a Twist Highlander. Love it!! So soft. I added some short rows in the middle back at the border edge. Just to give more coverage in back. Half a skein left from 725 yds. Now what to do with that? May 2008

Perfect Pie Shawl. Started Aug 2004, Fin Oct 2008. Never did get the lace border done, so I ripped out the part knit and just blocked it. Brown Mohair with red and orange flecks. Love it! 

Sherbet Beach. Hand dyed and spun yarn from Lady of the Loom. Love the colors in this. Beechwood pattern. Finished Oct 2008.

Crocus Pocus. Smooshy Yarn. Started May 11th, finished June 29th, 2009. I love the shawl, hate the pattern. Now to find something it goes with! 

Lace Fichu. Oct 2009. Misti Alpaca Lace yarn. Not crazy about the blue/white marl, but it reads more light blue than anything. I might even dye this if a wild hare takes.  

Green Clogs. A mish mash of Cascade 220 yarns to make a pair for me. It's been too long since I had a pair. October 2009.
