Citizen Shawl

by Liz on August 29, 2010

This past June I designed a new pattern for the Not-So-Sock Club at Yarn4Socks. I also dyed the yarn for the pattern in an exclusive colorway. I kept the pattern a bit of a secret: I wanted the clubbers to know as much as they could without me giving away the whole kit. I promised [...]

Repeating Chart B in Traveling Woman

August 18, 2010

I’ve had a few people ask me about repeating chart B while they’re knitting Traveling Woman. The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes, but it depends on what you want. You can keep repeating chart B as much as you want. The stitch counts, from what I recall, line up in the [...]

More Traveling Woman

July 29, 2010

I’ve had this larger version of Traveling Woman sitting around since Stitches West. One of my sample knitters worked it up for me using some of my light worsted weight, Lilith Worsted, in the color Echo.

Randomly knitting

July 27, 2010

I’ve been bit by the knitting bug again. I’ve been working steadily away on the new Traveling Woman, which involves knitting endless swatches and blocking them. I haven’t finished a knitted object in months, but I finally finished a sock. It’s a man sock! I’ve never knit a sock for anyone who didn’t wear a [...]
