Design – Bell Sleeve Alpaca Sweater

I have a favorite wrap t-shirt that I copied to make this sweater, adding bell sleeves and bottom edging. I used a size 17 needle for the first 4 rows of the bottom, and 8 rows of the sleeves, and switched to a size 13 to knit the body of the piece. The yarn is GGH Savanah alpaca blend. I was under a deadline to finish it so I could return all the extra yarn I bought… I bought 20 skeins and only needed 10 and this yarn wasn’t cheap. I’ve got a store credit at The Yarn Co in NYC which I plan to use when I visit my cousin in June.

The Opal Socks

For my birthday last year Peg gave me some Opal sock yarn and small double pointed needles. These socks represent the first time I knit in the round, which is why I’m not showing the cuff, it’s kinda messy. :-] I did most of the knitting on the plane ride out and back from visiting my cousin in Albuquerque.

Triniti’s Patriots Hat

This lil hat was for my newborn niece to wear while watching the Superbowl. I ordered a skein each of red, white, and blue of Lion Brand’s Pound of Love from an online site… it turns out each skein is HUGE – definitely each one is bigger than the baby. I don’t know when I’ll ever use this stuff up. If anyone knows a team of elves that needs hats… or perhaps some cold patriots?

Summer Tank Top

Using a Berroco pattern and the glace rayon yarn, I made this as my first pattern to follow. It came out HUGE, but them my mother saved the day and took it in for me. I started it around Memorial Day 2004 and finished it around Labor Day 2004.

When I met my friend Maureen S. on a BSSC trip to Nantucket she saw me knitting this sweater and showed my how to knit Irish style so I could go faster. Because of that I was able to get a bunch of knitting done in 2004.

Peg’s Mittens

Here’s what I did with Lamb’s Pride Bulky Onyx for Peg’s Christmas present… Funny yarn adds the trim. I did ’em without a pattern, but had to pull a bunch out ‘cuz the first one I did starting looking more like a boxing glove than a mitten.

Eros Shawl

I wanted to try a shawl in the Eros ribbon yarn, so I made this for a friend at work. It was surprisingly quick to do.

Quick Scarf

Here’s a blue scarf

made with the same Thick and Quick (Lion Brand) yarn that I made my first hat with.

I did a rib stitch, and it came out smaller than I expected. Not bad for a first project… I saw a how to knit article in Real Simple magazine and figured I’d give it a go.
