Gone gone gone...

All the patterns are now gone! Yipee!

I've spent mostly all my time on Ravelry lately, so I haven't blogged at all. I love that site, it's so addicting it's not even funny.

Ok, Patterns For Sale or Swap UPDATED!!!

I updated this list. This is what's left of the patterns that I have. I'm open to swaps, or feel free to make some offer on them.

The prices on there are NOT the prices I'd sell for, please, make me an offer. I just put them on there to give an idea of what they retail for.

Anyway, sorry no pictures, but that would be incredibly taxing... (scroll down for the list)

If you're interested, email me.

Wow! Where does the time go?

So wow, it's been a while since I posted! Since the last post I've made 3 pairs of socks and a sweater. Ok, I'm lying. I didn't finish the sweater... I need to seam it. But I have no idea how to do this, so until I figure it out, it will sit in pieces...

I'll need to take some pictures of the socks! Oh! I also made a really gorgeous willie warmer for my friend Mike. He said that he gets cold when running in the early morning during the winter. So I went to my lys and got some really soft cashmere/silk/merino yarn and knitted one up for him. He asked if I needed to take measurements. ha ha. I just guessed, and altered the "hose part" with ribbing so that it would be more stretchy.

I didn't get a picture of that either.

Hmmm... Oh yeah!!! I made a gorgeous skirt for my friend Fritzie out of cotton ribbon yarn that I bought at Stitches West from one of those bargain bins. Enough to make a t-length skirt and it only cost me like $20!!!! I wish I had taken a picture of that skirt. She hasn't worn it since I gave it to her because she gained about 15 lbs. So now we're on a diet and I can't wait till she wears it and I can get a picture of it!!!

Really, now, I think that's all I've knitted since the last post... Pictures next time, hopefully!

Crazy amounts of PATTERNS!!!

So... if anyone needs a pattern, I probably have it! I bought three binders of patterns from a woman. I went through them and pulled out anything I thought Jodes would like and anything my SIL and brother's MIL would like. And now I'm down to two binders full of patterns that I will never knit.

here is a list of some of them. If you are interested, make me an offer. I'll put the retail amount if I know it, but I'll go pretty cheap if you buy a bunch. Shipping will be of your choosing, and you pay for that.

If you are not sure what pattern you want, but have an idea of what it looks like, let me know and I'll look through them and make some suggestions.

Thanks for looking.

oooh, gotta love this yarn!

something my brother and his wife gave me for... um, i think it was my birthday.

OOOPS! Check the labels first!

Sooooo... Ok... Here's the deal: ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL BEFORE FELTING!

I made this pair of felted clogs. I thought "ah... Silk Garden (Noro) is used in the felted Booga Bag. It must felt."

I was sooooo wrong!!!

As you can see...
The bottom and cuff (using Cascade 220) felted quite nicely. Unfortunately, the rest of the clog did not.

Here's another picture:

What a waste of Noro Silk Garden.

I think my friend Jodi is going to make something out of them... I'll post pictures if she manages to make something cool!

Another knit from my past

Here's a sad one. I made this shirt out of linen yarn. Then I washed it, thinking, "oh, it will make it softer!" Well, it did make it softer. But it biased the heck out of it. sigh... Live and learn, right?
