WIP Wednesday

Goat

This little goat is a custom knit for someone in Canada, he is off travelling across the Atlantic Ocean to his new home right now. His pattern is available in my shop, I custom knit too:)

Sadie Horse

Sadie, will be added to my shop later today, she was knitted and made by Jenna.

Sherper Hat

I have been working on my Sherpa Hat design. I knitted it in Lopi Yarn and now I am going to re-knit it in a Nurturing Fibres Aran weight yarn. I am going to knit Erin one for her birthday on Monday. Shhh don’t say a word:) This design, reflects the mountains on the sides of the hat and Sherpa tents that would be put up during long mountain expeditions, so I thought, the Sherpa Hat was a fitting name. Kye graciously agreed to model it for me.

Autumn Sky Cowl 1

Thank you so much to everyone who offered to test knit the Autumn Sky Cowl pattern, the test knit is now full and is well underway on my Ravelry group.

Our weather is really cooling down here quite a lot, soon it will be time to light fires in the early mornings and evenings. I love sitting near the fire and knitting, I’m really looking forward to that.

Reading: The Lord of the Rings.

Joining with Ginny today.

Autumn Sky Cowl Progress

Autumn Fires Cowl 0021

This is my Autumn Sky cowl design knitted in Manos del Uruguay yarn, Ethnosphere Maxima. I did post about this cowl last week but disaster struck as I was casting off.  I realised that it was going to be slightly small and I just wasn’t happy with that. You know how you try and tell yourself that it will actually be fine, because pulling out all this knitting is sad and then somewhere in the back of your mind, you just know you have to fix it,  so I FROGGED it. I then cast on again,  altered the pattern a little, went up a needle size and now I am much happier with it! It’s almost finished and then I will open the pattern up for test knitting. I still really love the colourway of this yarn and will be buying more of it, it’s so soft too.

Joining with Ginny for the Yarn Along today and Tamis WIP Wednesday.

Arcitc Ice Cowl6

Arctic Ice Cowl7

Arctic Ice Cowl8

This is my new Arctic Ice Cowl design, Erie was kind enough to model it for me. I’ve knitted it in Nurturing Fibres Spaghetti Aran Weight Yarn on 6mm needles and used about a skein and a half of yarn. Each skein has 130 metres / 143 yards. It’s really warm and squishy and can be wrapped twice or thrice around the neck.

I have opened the test knit thread on my Ravelry group, there are only 10 spaces available for test knitters, so if you would like to test knit this cowl, pop over there to join:) See you there!

Oaklet Shawl Blocking

I’m blocking my Oaklet shawl today, it’s not too sunny outside so the weather is perfect, this was such a pretty pattern to knit.

Hope your day is lovely.

Arctic Ice Cowl, Yarn Along

Delilah

This week, I have been working on a new cowl design, it’s called Arctic Ice. It has been knitting up quite quickly and then, to my utter dismay, I noticed I had knitted 4 instead of 3 plain rounds in one of the sections so I had to pull back… This yarn has a small amount of mohair in it, when I say small, I mean, well, when one tries to pull back mohair it kind of mats together and takes years off your life in the process because you can’t really see where you are and then you could have possibly lost stitches etc…I still love it tremendously, it’s so gorgeously soft and wonderful to wear and I want more of it!

I removed my circular needles and had 200 live stitches just lying there staring at me. Of course I wanted this situation sorted out as quickly as possible, (my nerves). I pulled back really carefully, the mohair wasn’t too accommodating at first and then it relented and allowed me to pull back to the exact spot I needed to, much to my relief! I am now knitting the final few rounds and when it’s finished there will be a test knit on my Ravelry group. I love test knits, they are so much fun!

Happy Wednesday, joining with Ginny :)
