starting a Sunday cardigan . I'm having a hard time deciding on a color to go with my Spruce Selkirk. I 've tried a blue green that nearly matches, a light blue, a golden color, even a ...
Just to let you know there is no 'Create a new topic' button on these parts of the forum. Can't ask you any burning questions.
Managed to leave the urban buzz and get out to the country this evening. Ontario corn field at the end of August. Making progress on my sweater. I can't wait to wear it. Hop...
@Kim Doherty-Smith Thanks! I have almost one full skein so I'm 99% sure it's enough for the sleeve. I'll be sure to post a photo when it's done. I'm loving the project, both knitting it and ho...
@Carey Bermingham Confession time - I didn't alternate with my Sunday Cardigan. I was careful in the order that I knit the skeins to make sure that the new skein I was adding was the closest match ...
@Carey Bermingham Super cool! That's a lot of knitting, but we do hate skimpy shawls around here. No worries with this one! LOL
@Kim Doherty-Smith I ended up finding and buying another skein of blue yarn. I was about 4 inches short on each sleeve. I almost started again to make a 3/4 sleeve.
@Carey Bermingham Good tip about the video - nothing like finishing a project and then still having so many ends to weave in!
@Starr Cookson It used one full set, and then I had to dip into a second set for the last few repeats. Probably if you incorporate a 7th or 8th colour (I believe the original pattern use...
@Carey Bermingham Oh wow - that is gorgeous!! So it was 2 neon sock kits? And what did you use for the solid and how much? Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm making the Sunday Cardigan with A Night Without Stars in Selkirk Worsted and two strands of KidSilk Haze in Hurricane. I alternated skeins on the body, and am doing the same on the first sleev...
Here is a photo of my Painting Bricks shawl my mom was referring to. It was a fun (but long!) knit and I absolutely love it!
Ken wanted a nice simple sweater. I found the pattern for Huxley in Rowan Magazine 66. A perfectly plain men's sweater knit from Felted Tweed held with one strand of Kidsilk Haze. The colours are F...
We just received the full line of Felted Tweed! Have a colour you love? We have it. All of them - every shade that is available! Let the fun begin....
@Judith Junop Thank you! The yarn is spectacular to knit with and the colour glows. I found it to be a pretty quick knit and I will likely knit the cardigan as well at some point. I am still t...
@Jennifer Hanley Ha! Two peas in a pod, I think! LOL
@Michelle Lindgren Oh, I didn't even know there was a mohair addition. I will need to check it out. A friend made the child's size for her granddaughter. It's super cute too. I guess there a few ve...
@Jennifer Fairfax Is that all of the blue you have left? 😮 Is that the second sleeve? If you think you are only going to be a stripe or 2 short for the blue, I did see some really nice exampl...
