Friday Finds

It’s been a busy week for me, travelling to New York City and then being out of the office for work for two days. Did manage to get quite a bit of knitting done, so that’s good! Airplane travel makes for excellent knitting time. Argo (€5) by Aoibhe Ni Shuilleabhain is a sweet crochet shawl …

FO: Ignus Junior

threadpanda — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:32:42 +0000

I showed you very blurry photos of my Ignus Junior in progress last week. Unfortunately the photos don’t get much better, as my camera battery died (as it does when you forget to recharge it) and the monkey for whom it was intended (see below) was not feeling very cooperative when the sweater was finished …

Flash and dash Friday Finds because I’m still recovering from last night’s endeavors with a friend. Canary Knits is doing a fun little “knitter’s astrology” series.

On the needles

Almost three whole weeks into January and I have yet to show you a finished knitted object. That is not to say I haven’t finished anything; I’ve finished two things! But they are gifts for friends (belated birthday gifts, if you must know), and I haven’t seen said friends yet (though I am on my …

Here we are again, another Friday, another Friday finds. Any big plans for the weekend? I’m hoping to finish up the second of the belated birthday gifts I’ve been working on, so I can finally move on to something I can talk about here!

Knitalong with us!

threadpanda — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:18:12 +0000

What started out as a Larch Cardigan knitalong has morphed a bit into a free-for-all Amy Christoffers KAL. Larch has been around for a little while; I know Preita‘s knit one, and Sarah of knityorkcity finished hers a couple of months ago, along with 200 other people who have fabulous tastes in knitwear. Since this …

First Friday of 2012! Here’s another Friday Finds, but first, an announcement, which will get its own post tomorrow. Instead of doing just a Larch KAL, we’re going to open it up to any Amy Christoffers design, including WIPs. More details on that tomorrow! Blocking garment pieces can be stymieing, especially for garments that are …

Seeing Red

Pantone’s color of the year is Tangerine Tango. Which is not a bad color at all. I do like the orange-y-ness of it, without being Carrot Top orange; the cool undertones totally make it a relatively wearable color. But so far, 2012 has felt red to me. Not burgundy, not mauve, but red. This Etsy …
