Way Late Finish in Ravelympics 2010

March 2nd, 2010

…but hey, still pretty impressive.  There are a million ends left to weave in, and once again I have to go on a button hunt, but the knitting is complete, and it’s oh so cute!  I love, love the way the button holes are worked, integrated right into the i-cord band.  Genius.

The only mod I made was to work stripes instead of the color work band on the arm.

Whisper Cardigan Update

February 22nd, 2010

I have received many e-mails from anxious knitters asking how to purchase the Whisper Cardigan pattern since the Spring 2009 issue of Interweave Knits is sold out.  I am happy to announce that soon I will have an updated version of the original pattern for sale here on Knitbot and Ravelry!  It will essentially be the same cardigan, with a few minor improvements.  There will be a much wider range of sizes, including children’s sizes, and a schematic.  Please keep checking back, I will have it up as soon as possible!

Chair Pocket

February 22nd, 2010

I know this is random in the midst of the Ravelympics.  My progress is so slow on my project, it’s not worth posting about every day.  I do think it will be done in time, though, so stay tuned!

Last night as I was rocking my boy I was thinking, I wish I had a magazine handy, but there is no end table to keep reading material on.  So once he woke up I whipped up this chair pocket which I am so happy with!  I love it when a vision becomes a reality.
