Slipped Stitches

A small group of knitters with a range of knitting experiences - from the wise Maple Girl to the careful and fresh faced Sauce, and the full throttle knit or die style of Sly. Enjoy our varied projects and thoughts, and if you don't have anything nice to say...well...you know.

 

Auntie Sly

So...seeing as I have a niece on the way, I could not resist using some more of that beautiful superwash soft wool to make a wee touque for the little one. She's due in December, so I figured that a chapeau might be in order. I've decided to call her Coco...so here's Coco's hat:



I think I'll look up a pattern for booties or slippers or something.

 
 

What the...?

Has anyone seen my sloganizer post? I was feeling such intense emotions the day I posted that and I can't seem to find the post - I need it for support.
(heehee...just kidding)

Miss G - I can't believe the spectacular yarn you got!!!! Is that Lamb's pride I see?

 
 

Socks...too bad they come in pairs.

I've finished one of Mr. Sly's socks, using a pattern from the sock page. I had a hard time nailing down a pattern, and I had to modify it partway through, but I think it should fit him ok now. I have to say, with much shame, that I used the 3 needle bind-off for the toes...I know!! It's a total no-no for socks, but the toe grafting would have left gaping holes. I don't think it would have held up to the strength of Mr. Sly's toes. Since Mr. Sly is gainfully employed, I'll have to be the sock model. Feast your eyes, people!



Now it's on to sock #2.
