  1. FO: Hine

    January 29, 2012 by sunrisesister

    This is a beautiful knit :)

    BWM Cameo 8ply

    Step one, take some smooshy wool/angora blend from the BWM back room.

    Step two: find a gorgeous, girly, easy pattern like Hine from Kelly Brooker (this was gifted to me at xmas by Deb – thanks Deb!)

    Step three, smoosh, admire. But there is more. This will be dip-dyed, blocked, and buttoned. A perfect top to go over a long sleeve cotton tee in the cooler months!

    Sticks: 4mm addi click.

    Yarn: BWM Cameo 8ply

    Mods: Knitted size 4, but lace panel to size 5.

    More pics to follow when it’s looking a little more colourful!

  2. PSC2011 Complete

    December 8, 2011 by sunrisesister

    And with those socks, my Personal Sock Club for 2011 is finished :)

     

    mosaic02b26ec6b3fdae13966b98ebddf4ec08bae4129a

     

    The stats:

    6 pairs of adult socks

    2 pairs of baby socks

    1 pair of toddler socks

    one pair of mittens

    and a shawl.

    2 skeins of yarn were re-homed or given away to allow for a month off (Wedding, november) and another ball that was full of knots, and I had to admit defeat.

    All in all, a GREAT stashbusting exercise. I have plans for a similar thing for 2012!
