Far from an original project, but nice nonetheless (ignore the pizza cutter, there are limited flat, well-lit surfaces here). There’s really not much to say; “pattern” by Jared Flood, 39 stitches wide, a little bit longer than I am (probably around 170cm, can’t be bothered to find the measure tape now). Yarn is Noro Kureyon, [ READ MORE ]
Finally finished mitten #2 of the Love Bytes mittens! I somehow managed to make them a liiittle bit too small this time, but I can get them on and once they’re on, they fit pretty nicely, so it’ll have to do. And one of them is a tiny bit shorter than the other one, but [ READ MORE ]
I still don’t really understand the point of wrist warmers, but I couldn’t really find another project for this yarn, and I only had two skeins. These used up almost one. I figured I could always gift them since I don’t get the point, but when I was almost done with the second one, I [ READ MORE ]
Still really like this pattern, as it’s simple, but more fun than 2×2 rib. I really don’t like 2×2 rib for more than a couple of rounds at the time. Casting on 44 stitches instead of 48 proved to be smart, as these fit better, and I also lengthened the heel a bit. I didn’t [ READ MORE ]
I actually knitted this in November 2008, in the exact same yarn, and used it almost exclusively last winter. However, it grew from baggy to falling-off-my-head-if-I-made-sudden-movements-baggy, so I ended up never using it, even though it was quite warm and I liked the color and look very much. Figuring that was a bit of a [ READ MORE ]
I’d read tons of good things about this pattern, so I figured I should try it, and I’ve got to say, I understand the praise. Enough going on for it to not get really, really boring, but simple enough that you don’t really need the pattern in front of you after knitting one sock. So, [ READ MORE ]
This is my second pair of these socks, this time knitted on slightly smaller needles than the last time. They now fit pretty perfectly around the leg and ankle, but the foot is still too long for them to fit inside shoes and stuff. Ah well, I’ll just use them indoors, I guess. Gave the [ READ MORE ]
Not sure I like this. I feel like it falls a bit weird in the back, but that will probably change once it gets used a bit – I just don’t know if it’ll change for the better or worse. Still not sure who this is for. I’m pretty sure it’ll go to either my [ READ MORE ]
So, my first sweater ever. I’m not sure if I’m actually satisfied with the result, but at least I finished it without spending a year on it, and it kind of fits. The pattern is Jared Flood’s Stilwell, which is a really great pattern. The pictures mostly show off the lame colors in my tiny [ READ MORE ]
Around Christmas I realized that I didn’t really have a self-made hat that I liked a lot and that wasn’t too warm or not warm enough, so I went looking for a hat to make for myself. Ended up choosing Lina by Johanna/Joko Knits (on Ravelry), and went for Drops Merino Extra Fine, as that [ READ MORE ]
