Just finished another shawl ... and have one more on needles

I love shawls & I love shawlettes!! I l;ike making both in heavy wool and light cotton. :SIGH: I'm on a shawl/shrug OD. "GASPS" Just followed the last link to that shawl ... it will be moved up in my Queue ... it took my breath away.

One of the reasons I wear full ankle length skirts ... to show off my socks and they're cooler than pants. (and the look goes well with shawls!)

Love all your work! I find myself usually knitting socks or shawls more than anything else. Are you Rubycanyon on Ravelry also? I'll look you up eta: Love the Holden shawlettes ... that pattern is up next in my queue. Thanks for the tips in your project notes!

Included you are, then!! We love folks showing off their work! (hint, hint)

WOW!! This is the same pattern my Grandma taught me to knit with .... back in 1968! Just too cool! Thanks!

The previous shawl went to my sister-in-law for those days she needs an extra hug. Yesterday I made up this shawl. You know what they say! Housework comes before knitting only in the dictionary!! LOL! It is a simple elongated garter stitch with a picot edge. Pattern is Storm...

Finished another shawlette.

For a while I would have my two socks going at the same time on separate DPNs. Cuff on one, then the other. Sock on one, then the other, etc. I've lost or given away DPNs so now I'm back to one at a time.

Thanks ... just got another sock finished ... just one .... the pattern is cool, but fiddly ... trying to talk myself into making the 2nd one before I get started on spinning black corriedale fleece into a sock weight yarn for another shawl (like the one pictured) I won't cast on the new shawl...

Silkie, those are gorgeous!! I hope you do enter them into the fair!! I just finished a shawlette and (another) pair of socks (For those who don't have access to Ravelry)

Waiting on pins and needles for the arrival of my friend, Lonna Cunningham's, book Just Keep Knitting: a journey of healing through forgiveness, faith, and fibre Lonna has been an online friend for many a year. She's a spinner & knitter and freely shares her experiences of the fiber arts...

There is a crochet thread here on BYC https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/124510/crochet-chat/4510

Another alternative is to knit the first few stitches of each needle on the previous needle (instead of using a new needle). After a few rounds of knitting, redistribute those stitches back to the original needle they came from. Keep doing this (switching the first few stitches back and forth)...

Caat, Those are called 'ladders' and are caused by the stitches between your needles being too loose. A couple stitches before the end of the needle and the couple stitches at the beginning of the needle, give a little tug on the working yarn to snug these stitches up. Just finished a pair of...

LOVE IT!!

It is the free Mojo Sock pattern found on Ravelry. Caat, you can use the same concept and knit it cuff down. I'm a cuff down sock knitter but wanted to explore the toe up. I used 2 DPNs for the magic cast on, it was a PAIN!!. Using two circs is much, much easier (so I've heard). It was the...

Decided to use up left over sock yarns on the Mojo sock pattern. Turning out pretty cute, I think.
