Posted in Felted Sweaters, Portland, sewing on Jun 18th, 2006
This post is going to be mostly pictures and few words because it’s late and I’m tired.
You may remember this sweater from a while back. The sweather that I loved for many years that finally got too many holes to wear. Well, I have transformed it into this!I felted it, embroidered it with [...]
It is becoming apparent that I have a problem. A serious problem finishing my projects. I finished knitting this lovely tank top ages ago but only 1/2 the fabric is sewed on.
I try to make myself feel better by saying that I knit 2 mother’s day scarves and 2 silly apple cozies in the meantime, [...]

Okay y’all. The Knitorama pattern sucked so much that I totally changed it when I knit my apple cozies. There’s been some interest so I’ll share it with you.
Materials: I used size 8 dpns and Lion brand woolease. Guage doesn’t really matter, you just want it to fit an apple. If [...]
Last month, I didn’t do any Project Spectrum-themed knitting. This month, by accident I already have!
When I realized last weekend that Mother’s Day is coming up soon, I decided to knit something for my mom and my mom-in-law. I needed something quick, since I have to send it early enough for it [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I know. Life has been insane lately but I think it’s getting back to normal, whatever that really is. I still haven’t finished my “modern bustier”. I think that’s a stupid name for the pattern. Does anyone have a better name? I did buy the things I need [...]

I have finished another project that was cast aside last summer! My satisfaction with Soleil led to my finishing of this: It started out as Tempting from Knitty but quickly morphed into something different. I hate knitting ribbing so I chose a cabled rib pattern to jazz it up. I don’t know if it was [...]
I finished something! I started knitting soleil last summer and just now finished! I didn’t quite finish it last summer when the weather started getting cold so I put it away until now. In honor of project spectrum, I decided to finally finish it. I thought I had a bit more to knit on the [...]

E is for evergreens and emerging life.
One of the great things about my job is that there is a trail through the woods on the property. I love the evergreens for their height and beauty and I get to look at them all day. When not looking high in the trees, though, the trail hasn’t [...]
The olympic knitting continues. We’re over 30% through the olympics and amazingly, I’m over 30% done with River! I had a minor setback when I had to tink back 3 rows but that little problem of an extra yarn over has been fixed. I knit a ton on Monday because I had the day off [...]
I finished my backyard leaves scarf and I love it so much!
Pattern: Backyard leaves scarf from Scarf Style
Yarn: 3 balls Cascade Yarns “Cloud 9″ 50% angora, 50% merino 50g/109 yards
Needles: size 7
Finished size: 72″ long- 6″ shorter than the pattern states, but plenty long for me-it almost reaches my knees when it’s just around [...]
