Ignorantblissknits.blogspot / Pinterest. Quince & Co. Untitled. Craft in Style: Gifts Galore. I've been in a knitting for gift giving frenzy, which has left me little time to think about my posts, but I decided to show you what I've been making. I've been making an item for myself, and then duplicating it in different colors for gifts. This is a long hand warmer I made for myself. The knitting pattern is called Dashing which can be found on Ravelry, or on knitty. Then I created it in a creme superwash wool for my sister. My other sister requested a short one in green. The pattern I used was Fetching (in Ravelry), also found on knitty. I also made a short one for my friend for her birthday in yellow. As if this wasn't keeping me busy enough, I've made a few chunky scarves to give out as gifts. I made a scarf in a nice plum color in a moss stitch pattern for myself and for a friend of mine as her belated birthday present.
And last, but not least, I finally finished the charcoal grey ribbed scarf I made for my father-in-law. Category: Knitting » hey porkchop! Apr First off, thank you for all your kind words and emails on my previous post. It was amazing how many friends reached out and said “YES. The joy of creating isn’t there anymore” or ”Let’s all share MORE little things”. I have a few more thoughts to share on this subject but I’ll save them for another day k? Second off, can I just share with you guys some stuff that is inspiring me lately? Tubularity! Ashburn! Bertie Bott’s Yarn! Reading. The reading frenzy started when I discovered BookRiot. My main reading goal this year was 75 books. Here are five of my favorite books so far- also, I’m the worst at explaining why I like books so just pretend this is super eloquent k?
These Broken Stars. I’m currently reading The Name of the Wind, good friends suggested it and I’m looking forward to a long meat-y read. Also, I’m currently cross stitching a new club pattern. I’ll be back hopefully soon to share my million photos of Once Upon a Time Sampler & Tea Time. Patterns | New Stitch A Day. International Yarns and Latch Hook Kits.

Yarn: Classic Elite Yarns Alpaca Six Needles: 3.0 mm / US 2.5 Overall: I love them! Daylight time in Winter is short. So short, that I waited at least 2 weeks before I could take pictures of my lovely Lace Legwarmers! So after school, I grab the camera and took advantage of the last sunshine rays... They're perfect over leggings, with a short winter skirt, or even with skinny jeans! I did follow the pattern throughout: I did one cuff 1.5" long, 8 chart repeats, and then another 1" long cuff. I would totally do them again, if I hadn't so many things to do, for school and knitting...
Narzuta na drutach. Simple Bauhaus Throw Knit a blanket inspired by the clean lines of this early modernist art movement. By Lisa Shobhana Mason On any given Saturday, you might find me strolling around a museum or gallery. I enjoy viewing artists’ unique interpretations of universal themes and elements, and I’m drawn to the repetition of various designs throughout the ages. From the bold, outsider art vibe of the Gee’s Bend quilts to the vivacious designs of the late 1960s, great artworks and movements influence and inspire many of my pieces. When I designed this blanket, I was thinking of the Bauhaus art movement with its stern and unadorned style. My aim was to create a piece that is sleek and clean, as well as moody and sumptuous. Materials Directions Step 1: Knit. Step 2: Finish. This project is excerpted from YarnPlay (North Light Books), by Lisa Shobhana Mason.

Kapcie królik. Thrummed Bunny Slippers in 3 Adult Sizes By Nikol Lohr These slippers are soft as a bunny, thanks to their thrums — unspun wool knit right in for a warm, cushy, fleecy lining. They’re also quick as a bunny! Knit in bulky yarn, they have the same stitch count as your average worsted hat. Worked up quickly in economical ($5/100g ball) bulky wool, they’re a recession-busting and adorable last-minute holiday gift. And you can always omit the “bunniness” if your subject isn’t silly rabbit material. Aside from the cush, these slippers have a great fit and actually stay on your feet, thanks to the heel shaping and wide button flap.
They’re entirely seamless, knit sole first, with stitches picked up all around, then shaped from the sole up. Download the Pattern PDF | Subscribe in iTunes (Right click to save PDF to your computer.
