Susan B and Sallee: I'm so sorry to be so absent from this KAL. My sister had to tell me y'all were talking about Big Pink, and that I better get back in here...
Addendum from Peggy -- Big Pink is posted on Ravelry, too. Look for it and a potload of other knitting and spinning under the avatar "BothTwins". And may I ...
Ah, yes, we're on Ravelry too - as the Faroese-style Shawl KAL. So come join up! The waiting list these days is way shorter than when I first signed on.... ...
I've been lurking on this group for a year, getting lots of great tips while knitting my shawl. I just finished and posted pictures in the albums under "eliz"....
OH WOW, LIZ! Just stunning! I know you're proud and you should be! (and that crochet hook really IS crazy tiny!) But the beads are wonderful! I know you'll get...
Is Myrna working on a new book of lace patterns? At my local spinners and knitters guild someone was doing some test knitting for her. The lace was lovely,...
Congratulations, Liz, what a beautiful piece of art. The beads are wonderful; they pick up the colours of the yarn perfectly. Nice work with the dyelots, too:...
I've just added photos of a couple of shawls I made a few months agao. They're in the folder "Sally in Yorkshire". The chunky brown one took just five days to...
Sally, I just LOVE your new shawl. Everything just works out so perfectly. It looks like you used garter stitch, is that correct? Is there any chance you...
Hi, Christy! I believe Myrna's told us that its a book on variations of Feather & Fan (remember Marialis?)... I can't wait to see it either! (((hugs))) Sallee ...
Oh, Sally! They're both lovely.... But I have to admit I'm quite partial to the blue one....that knotwork design speaks to me! Would love to try that one,...
Hi Everyone, I am locked out as a member yet still receive emails. I have been trying to figure out how to do the walter scarf with an I-cord edging. I can't...
Morning Sallee! Ah, well. So much for my juicy tidbit. See what happens when I spend too long without having my mail sorted on its way in? I miss all the...
Here's how I do "knit as you go" I-cord: 1)cast on 3 extra stitches at each edge for the I-cord 2)always knit the first 3 stitches of each row, work the...
Sally, Myrna will be so pleased to see how you have used her book. She is so supportive of knitters making the patterns their own. The knotwork design in the...
If anyone would like the charts for the blue Celtic knotwork shawl, please email me. It's based on Fenna so you'd also need Myrna's book. You'll need to Aire...
I believe Myrna is working on a book about Variations of Feather and Fan stitch. It is supposed to contain patterns using differnt variations of Feather and...
Adding on does make sense. Thats what confused me since I thought I had to work with the same stitches. I knitted the scarf as part of a group effort to...
... and ... zigzag ... breaks up ... Our ... get ... They are beautiful. I'm sure you get a lot of use and compliments by wearing these beauties. But what age...
Greetings from Boise, OK, I will make a brief outing and admit that I am in hiding. :) I love to hear from you all about the adventures you are having with...
Myrna, Please let us all know when the Marguerite Shimmons' book is done and ready. I have a feeling my mother would like to add to our library. She is from...
Gorgeous, Liz! Thanks so much for sharing photos. And absolutely, the alternating dyelots made it merge beautifully like it was planned that way from the...
Oh, my, how beautiful. I second the oohs and ahs, especially on the blue one. And you're right, getting the details right makes it all mesh together well....
Oh boy the I-cord is simple. Finally I got it and I think the idea of bringing the yarn behind the 4 stitches bothered me. I just didn't think it was right...
I am fortunate to live in the San Francisco Bay Area where Lacis is one of my LYS. I go to a lace knitting group there occasionally and Mary Francis gave us a...
That is stunning work, but a truly elegant lady! Wow! (and "wow" hardly seems appropriate) I can't wait to see the book set, Myrna! (((hugs))) Sallee ... ...
Wow! Those pieces are absolutely stunning! Can you imagine? They are like fantasy pieces. I can't wait to see the book, either. Just marvelous! --Christy ...
She came OFF the needles LAST NIGHT! Now, I don't have photos yet, I haven't blocked - and probably won't get to until Sunday this weekend.... But what a...
Congratulations, Sallee, for completing Catharina. I'm so glad it has been a good learning experience for you. Isn't it great that knitting is not a...
