Pattern: Gamine by Tori Gurbisz of Lachesis & Co Yarn: Paton’s Classic Wool Ok so I lied but not intentionally…. Gamine is my final FO of 2011. I was all set to frog back and move the button-hole positions up two stitches but when I realized I would have to frog the hem, collar AND both button bands I decided I could live with it. This was a test knit… Read More »Gamine | Celtic Cast On
The last FO of 2011 that I have yet to blog about., my Peppermint Pukes. These socks were started in Cat Bordhi’s sock class that I took at KnitEast. It was Cat’s Discovery Sock class and we used her recipe to knit them. I was quite surprised to discover that knitting plain socks Cat’s way I only need 48 sts! Yes my friends 48 sts! That leaves a lot of… Read More »Peppermint Pukes | Celtic Cast On

Pattern: #11 Forestry (Old Penny) by Veronik Avery Yarn: Classic Elite Skye Tweed *now discontinued* Needles: 3.25 and 4mm needles It’s almost ridiculous how long it has taken me to complete this cardigan. I cast on in Nov of 2008 and finished it rather quickly. It was only when I tried it on that I realized that I had picked up way to many stitches on the bands and needed… Read More »Penny | Celtic Cast On

Needles: 3.75mm dpns Start Date: Feb 12th 2010 Finish Date: Feb 24th 2010 Very cute pattern and easy to knit but a little boring.

I’m so excited to share my next project with you. I have wanted to try Fair Isle for MANY years but have always shied away from this “scary” technique. Pat and Elinor have inspired me for years with their beautiful projects and many of Elinor’s original designs are waiting in my queue to be knit. In December I started a binder with a collection of patterns I wanted to knit in 2009.… Read More »Fair Isle First! | Celtic Cast On
