Red Carpet Convertible

Here are some pics of the yarn I chose for the Red Carpet KAL. Recap of materials: Berocco, Bonsai, color: Japanese Maple.

I'm also thinking about adding Boning to make it more corset like.

My first knit sweater

This was my first sweater that I knit for myself. I had always made things for other people, so I bought some discontinued yarn from my local shop (it was a cotton yarn with a rayon wrap I think).

I used a basic pattern from a magazine, and knit it with a cable and lace stitch instead of stockinette.

I've had this for over 5 years now and still wear it.

Cabled Hoodie

A week of non-stop knitting, and ta-da a finished object.

I made this cabled hoodie for my niece, who just turned 16.

She told me she wears hooded sweat jackets that she gets in the boys department, so I decided to make her something girlie but warm. I used Lamb's Pride Worsted, 85% wool 15% mohair, color: Blue Magic. The pattern was in a Knit.1 magazine. I am really excited to see it on her, I loved making this project. I've had this yarn in my stash for about a year and when I saw this pattern it just clicked. My favorite part of this knit is the hood it came out perfectly.

This was also the first time I did bobbles and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.

pictures of Victoria tank

I finally have a picture of the victoria tank. This pattern was in Interweave knits summer of 2004 I think. I completed this sweater some time ago...
I've changed the neckline to be lower in front and back. I used knit Picks, 100% cotton Shine sport, color: Crocus

I wear this all time, I love it.

Fifi finished

Hi everyone,

My birthday was at the beginning of August and guess what I got? My own digital camera - he he....
finally I don't have to rely on anyone else to take pictures.

BTW - I finished my Fifi a couple weeks ago, here's the recap of materials: Rowan, Calmer, color: Vintage. I did do the short rows for bust increase and increased/decreased the sides for more room in the chest area. This was the first time I've done short rows I was worried I'd get some weird holes, however, I'm rather pleased with the final result. It's kinda hard to see them so I need to take a better picture in natural light to show the detail.

I still haven't started the red carpet convertible though.... that's next.
