Flip shawl in progress

Here is Flipper on the new stand. I'm about halfway through the shawl and want to be finished in time to twist the fringe and wash it tomorrow. The dark stripes are alternating medium gray and green which are so close in value that I had to be careful with the lighting while measuring the warp to be sure I had the right order.

The stand is great, but I think I want to get the "Flip trap" because I keep looking for a place to put stuff like scissors and tapestry needles. Halcyon is the only merchant so far who shows the trap on its website. Schacht hasn't added it to its site yet, but the holes are definitely there in the front of the loom for attaching the gadget, so I do believe, I do believe ...

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.
