Here’s the link for the Mini Sweater Ornament Very simple…uses very little to no yarn and quick…as long as you don’t try to be the master of the ninja knitting needles of death. Could just be me, as my shoulders are killing me…too much knitting? Too much stamping?
I was able [...]
Modified Irish Hiking Scarf & another ornament
Posted in Uncategorized on November 16, 2005 | 2 Comments »
I modified the Irish Hiking Scarf…took out a cable repeat for a slimmer scarf. It will be about 5 inches wide instead of 6 as the first one is. I wanted to make one in a Knitpicks Alpaca/Silk blend…was a great feel, but not a good “body” for this wonderful cabled scarf. [...]
