Quick updates

The swatch was just about perfect: even selvages and square, but drapey, sett. I'm wrapping stripes to decide what the final version will be.

Also, the stand for the Flip arrived today, though I'm not sure I'm in the mood to do more tonight than count hardware.

And lastly, I got an email from a very dear friend with a picture of his newborn granddaughter wrapped in the Aran blanket I knit for his son in 1981. I'm so amazed that it was in such good condition and that they still had it.

I love all of this: weaving, samples, new tools, and a good useful blanket with history :).

About

Patterns

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
