  1. 🧶🧶🧶 Hello #Knitterati! A new project, after Mom's sweater was finally completed...

    Meet my new #WIP - #TheAspenWrap. This wrap (made one 15+ years ago, in storage now) was a fave. Cables grip the shoulders, and moss stitch part drapes nicely, longer than it might seem from these pix.

    This gorgeous wool is from Norway, generously gifted to me. Have been waiting for the perfect match for it. I think this may be it!

  3. ❓️🧶❓️ What do we think of this new pattern, #Knitterati?

    Mosaic, DK, relaxed, very customizable. Don't usually knit garments for myself bc body is so very outsize-large at the moment (100+ lb. weight gain from illness). But, seems like an option. Plus not too heavy in a worsted-spun yarn like this Le Petite Lambswool from Biches & Bûches. Thoughts?

  5. Sigh. Not an easy one, this Kara sweater...

    The yarn is actually much darker, and a fingering weight, both of which make it trickier. Dropped stitches, missing increases, a weird shoulder, frogging back multiple times.

    Then I thought I was all good, only to realize I messed up the cable and have to frog back. Again. Aiaiaiaiai!!! Onward.

    The lovely Jenny features herself in this episode, and as usual, she's really good.

    "weird sh*t people have said to me about my knitting | knit & chat" is the title. Engaging, funny, and towards the end, moving. I totally recommend her. Comments are great on this episode too, worth perusing. 😊

  15. I did it! Finally finished the Romi Hill MKAL, Way Leads On To Way.

    With purl-on-purl garter stitch rippling out in ever widening bands, it evokes the Robert Frost poem that inspired it - "The Road Not Taken." Like life, each step leads us further, more committed to a path, a life.

    I love Romi's designs, not only because I always learn new stuff, but also bc so thoughtful. Just the blocking now!

  19. Check out this design, can be adapted to pillow, blanket (see 3rd project.

    I like the large, airy, loopy curves, somehow the curves don't look choppy to my eye at all, no "staircase" effect
    Also the shimmering effect of the color fades, the fact it's never more than 2 yarns at a time. A good nominee for an heirloom-status gift.

  21. This is soooo good, intelligent!

    She distinguishes btwn craft and art, and how we regard the stuff like the actual yarn changes depending on perspective. Great podcast, I'm hooked!

    It's a genuine trend... People all over are knitting up the Emotional Support Chicken™!

    Pattern by Annette Corsino, over 5k are flying off the needles and counting. There is a tragically lumpy crochet version too, but knitted is the way to go with this one.

    Calls for worsted weight, but I plan to make a mini using fingering. It's up next!

  25. 🧶🧶🧶 YAY!! 🧶🧶🧶

    Success, at long last, with (almost) getting through Clue #3 of the Way Leads On To Way MKAL shallow crescent shawl from hand-knit designer Rosemary (Romi) Hill.

    Name comes from a famed Robert Frost poem, "The Road Not Taken." Here also is a screenshot of Romi's thinking on the name, below.

    Just 3 more rows - purl, pattern row, purl - and I can officially move to Clue #4. Yay! ☺️🎉👏👏👏

    Welp... Un-knitting didn't go that well. So, I did the daring deed - Took shawl off needles and PULLED!!

    Picked up stitches, un-knit one final row to straighten things out. Knit row to set pattern, made new mistake at beginning ugh. Un-knit. Re-knit veeeerrry slowly, counting and checking all 44 repeats.

    FINALLY got it right, now smooth sailing w markers set. Next, knit row 7 of C2. Hooray!

  33. @terri Hi K-pal! Moving forward on Romi Hill project. In that final big lace section, clue #4. I think it's gonna look good once blocked. I'm finding lace a bit difficult to read on lighter yarn. Yours came out so beautifully, that color combo really sings, and size is sumptuous.

    PS: Checked Ravelry, seems people are sharing publicly since MKAL ended. Fun, entertaining knit!
