So much fiber, so little time: Well, it's a pattern to me

Well, it's a pattern to me

This is a slightly prettier version of my working shawl chart. It leaves out large chunks of garment construction, such as: knitting from a provisional cast-on; making the k1,p1 strip for the neckline; picking up the body stitches; setting up the front bands; and knitting the bottom band. If anyone wants to wing it from this, Zephyr is about the right weight, and I'm using glass Rochaille "E" beads 6/0 with either a 1.25 mm crochet hook or a 1.0 mm hook for the handful of beads with a skinnier opening.

At this point, I've used about 40g of beads, which has led me to think there should be the adult equivalent of the hard plastic baby bib with the built-in trough. It would be ever so handy for the occasional dropped bead!

(BTW, meet Geekman, the computer nerd's action figure.)

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.
