So much fiber, so little time: Washer Woman!

2004.01.18

Washer Woman!

Every other Sunday tends to be my laundry day, but today's is the extended version: not the sheets-and-towels day, but the handknitted sock day. Many pairs are soaking in the washer now, and I have to look for the gallon of vinegar for the intermediate rinse.

Plus, since the temperature is hovering just below the freezing mark, I ran Henrietta through the car wash with the works. Of course, the brief period of sunshine ended somewhere on the drive home, and it's now snowing steadily, but at least the worst of the salt is off her and she's again gloriously orange.

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.
