Marsha\u2019s Projects
Working on socks with\xa0 Schahenmayr Regia Design Line by Arne & Carlos. I\u2019m going to use Knitted Wit Smarties for the toes and heels.
I recently ripped out the Neskowin Shell by Kay Hopkins. I changed her pattern and it didn\u2019t work. Too heavy and too short. The yarn is Debbie Bliss Juliet and I am knitting the Lounging Top by Joji Locatelli. Finished the yoke and about to join for the body.
Almost finished with 1898 Hat by Kristine Byrnes with worsted weight\xa0 Hazel Knits Cadence in the colorway Woodland. The pattern is on the Seamen\u2019s Church Institute: Christmas at Sea. This seemed to be the perfect pattern for an adventurer and yarn is from Seattle.
Kelly\u2019s updates
I started crocheting the yoke for Mariannes cardigan by Trine Bertelsen. The pattern has a crochet yoke, button band, and sleeve edging. I will modify it to be a pullover. I\u2019ll be using Blue Heron Egyptian Mercerized Cotton spirit yarn from Tracy (littletownknitter). The yoke is my crochet swatch.\xa0 If the yoke isn\u2019t the right size I\u2019ll rip out and choose a different size.
(K)not Along
There were so many creative fiber related projects that were not kniting, not crochet, not weaving and not spinning.\xa0 From needle felting to nalbinding, from chair upholstery to sewing, the Fiber Adventurers didn\u2019t disappoint! We talk about the projects and pull prizes for three lucky winners. Take a look at all the projects on the (K)not Along Finished Object thread on Ravelry.\xa0
Adventurer Feedback
The Fiber Adventurers also didn\u2019t disappoint with their feedback about sweater closures. There are some great photos and explanations about grosgrain ribbon and button bands and buttonhole bands in the Episode 119 thread on Ravelry.\xa0
