21 November 2012 - Rainbow Ripple Stitch Knit

 

4 ply Poems sock yarn, 75% wool, 25% nylon

bought at Barb's Sew & Knits at Glenelg on Saturday

3.25 mm needles

 

I'm still working on the Curved Shawl too

but had a bit of a mishap with dropped stitches (now fixed - phew!),

so I cast on this easier knit for when my brai is tired.

4 November 2012 - Spider Lace Knitting

 

This is the cast-on for one of my favourite knits, "A Curved Shawl"

from the book "Victorian Lace Today"

(I gave up on the faggoting lace)

 

 

 

I knit this red version with alternative border for my friend Deb,

the blue below for myself (it was the first one)

and a green one (no photo) for my sister.

31 October 2012 - Faggoting (knit lace)

 

A knitting experiment using cheerful orange yarn.

Faggoting is a very simple knitted lace

- there are lots of variations.
