Hi guys, I've just finished my second pair of socks from this designer, and I'm so inspired! I've been an avid sock knitter for a few years now, and I'm creating a bundle on Ravelry titled "I loved knitting these socks". These are obviously part of that bundle ( Read more... )

HI. It's me again.

I am looking for an opinion on the best way to go about doing colour work on a hat. I put it all under the cut.

( Please Help the Knitting Newbie )

Three years ago I saw a dress in RL shop, but did not like the idea of different fairy-island patterns on one piece. Plus my daughter refused green color, and since we are in the princess age, the choice was pink and flowers on F-I part.
So here is my vision of the dress( a dress )

Many many moons ago someone posted a link to this wonderful blog entry on yarn dominance.Now, as I've mentioned before, I have multiple sclerosis and because of damage to my right motor cortex I have a bit of trouble controling my left hand. While this doesn't normally affect my knitting (much), it causes me a lot of trouble doing stranded ( Read more... )

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've done an FO post, but I just finished this sweater I'm really proud of so I thought I'd just post everything I've finished in the last few months all together.

I came across the Checkerboard slipper pattern on Ravelry and just *have* to make it. I have fond memories of wearing these slippers as a kid, and would be great to make batches of them for my family members. They're just oddles of retro goodness.
My problem is the colour changes. I've watched videos on youtube and knittinghelp.com and have the gist ( Read more... )

First entry.  Woohoo!  I don't know why I never found this group before - guess I was too lazy to look.

Anyway.  I've been working on Christmas knitting for friends at school, and... well, I think I'm obsessed with tams.

Tams are winter hats that are a cross between a skull cap and a beret. They're normally in bright colors and, if handknitted, ( Read more... )

well, i'm knitting up a storm (for me at least!) and continuing with my education.

i've done a little stranding in the past, but it was really minor stuff on barbie clothes and it was so long ago that i don't remember noticing if the pattern was off the way i'm noticing now.

so, i decided, after my semi-successful first try at gloves, that i would ( Read more... )

I have a steeking-related question.

For reasons I shall refrain from getting into, it's very, very difficult for me to do colourwork using the standard methods of either holding one strand over each finger or one strand in each hand. I would like to do a colourwork sweater (specifically Jade Starmore's Leo) as a gift for a very close family friend ( Read more... )
