So much fiber, so little time: An actual fiber object

An actual fiber object

We've had some fairly cold weather, so I decided to make a new wimple. It's made of Shibui Knits Maai, which is a sport weight 70% superbaby alpaca and 30% merino. The yarn is not plied but maybe a double crochet chain? Very airy and warm!

I call the unvented stitch pattern Moss Stitch Lace Chevron. Don't know if it's original, but I've never seen it anywhere.

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.
