Celebrate!

Time to celebrate with champagne and strawberries. I'm knitting my first sock, and on circulars!



My Teacher, Terri.

Project 12 - Wavy

The pattern, Wavy, can be found at knitty.com. Be sure to make a chart on this one, otherwise it could be hard to follow.

Unfinished Object - Capelet

Pattern - Orange Soda Capelet
Source - Cast On Magazine, August - October 2005
Yarn - Classic Elite Bravo! -- Silk & Mohair -- Royal blue # 3721

I know, I know...not another poncho! But it's not a poncho, it's a capelet!
One simple, mindless knitting in the round project serves as a filler between the more challenging ones. Good to knit while watching TV.

Unfinished Object - Poncho a la Banana Republic

Pattern - Novak Poncho sans fur
Source - Berroco
Yarn - New Zealand --100% wool
Note - I revised the pattern for a few reasons. 1) The featured yarn was too soft & drapey. I want this capelet to look more rustic like an Aran sweater. 2) I also flipped the pattern in Excel because the poncho was too long for someone just over 5 ft. Knitting from the top down will allow me to try it on periodically and stop at a proportionate length for me.
