Venerable Beads

Here are the first few repeats of the beaded shawl. It is actually a lace pattern (Spider Lace from Barbara Walker 2), but the shawl is still too short to spread out for a photo.

I've had so much fun working again with the Black Ice yarn that I ordered the last remaining batch of Storm Clouds from Bountiful last night. Lois has also added yarns spun from her fiber blends, for those who like the colors but don't spin.

The beads and Black Ice look great together. So you slip the crochet hook through the already knit stitch, pull it through, then put it back on the needle? That's so much easier than threading! I'll have to try it.

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.
