I learned to knit! I'm so proud:


Sure it's just a scarf. But it's a scarf I made.

I love that handbag, Midnight Sun! Did you put in a zipper, flap or leave the top open?

Midnight Sun, all of your bags are amazing! I really adore the wine box one.

I've been continuing my attempts at knitting.

Baby Blanket


Bobbled dish cloth

Here’s to crappy yarn that had a very obvious color variation for two stitches. It doesn’t look like I bled on it at all.

First attempt at hat

Notice the ridges? I knitted the entire thing through the back loop. *sigh*

Second attempt at hat

This is what the hat is supposed to look like. This knitted up soooo much faster.

More pictures of each are on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Nrapture

This is my wedding shawl: a slightly truncated North Roë Shawl. There's more pics on my Ravelry page {sophie begonia}. With all the wedding stuff going on, it was still on the needles the day before, and was only blocked 12 hours before the wedding. I had to leave off a few rows on the border.

I LOVE this pattern and once I get the feeling back in my fingers from speed knitting this (and about 60 broach flowers for wedding favors) I would like to do another in a more lively color.




That is an elegant looking shawl. It complemented your dress really well and I'll bet that alpaca was so very soft too.

That shawl looks amazing! You will need to use circulars. The pattern appears to be knit from the inside out as a spiral. Several people have knitted it on Ravelry and show progress pics on circulars. If you want to be 100% positive, you could ask the designer on Ravelry (MMario) or go to the his yahoo group, join up and ask there.

Please post pics here when you're done!

the numbering is just wrong...

Agreed. According to Ravelry, this crane by Seann McKeel is the one in the book (or based on). It has the CO rows completed before the BO rows start.

It's machine washable according to the Caron website: http://www.caron.com/color_cards/cc_onepound.html

I've come to torment you all again!

I just got a knitting pattern for the most freaking adorable octopus ever http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19842343 but I've already hit a hiccup.

The pattern has k1tb1 in it. Googling it leads to some japanese patterns of all things. Does anyone know what this means? I've emailed the pattern's creator, but I haven't heard back from her yet.

Anyone have an idea?

Could it be k1tbl = knit 1 through back loop?
