I have been knitting....

Just not doing much blogging. Here is Evelyn's latest wooly outfit - a skirt knit out of 100PureWool dyed by Lamar at ...a time to dye. The colorway is called Anne Carson, named after her youngest daughter. I loved the pink and purple colors!! Perfect with the bit of gray added in. Lamar did a fabulous job dyeing as she always does.



Enough with the photos...time for the swing!!


Shorts underneath


Color is brighter than this IRL.


The pattern (minus the shorts underneath) is a new one I was able to test for a wonderful online friend Heather. The giant fluffy ruffle sure ate up the yarn! Not fond of the big holes left by the yarnovers, but you can just pretend you don't see those. The skirt is sooo soft and fits nicely. Great for wearing to church this summer.

Coming soon (well, maybe not so soon...) - I have shorts finished for Olivia (no pictures, haven't even blocked them yet) and yarn I dyed myself - don't get excited, it's rather ugly. ;)

Mother's Day Socks

Wow, I am a really bad blogger! No posts since April 2nd? Well, I have finished a few things since then, but nothing has been terribly exciting. Life gets in the way of knitting sometimes. That's usually a good thing, though.

Here are my mom's socks - a Mother's Day gift that was, unfortunately, only 75% complete on Sunday morning! Oops. Work got in the way. Plus I am painfully slow at socks. I did finish them at about 1pm, so Mom was able to take home a complete set. I'm glad they fit!








Yarn: Parvana Merino Sock from Selah, dyed by Julie in her Cherry Blossom colorway. Pattern is from Creative Knitting mag May 2008 - Ribbed Anklets. I used size 1/2.25 mm needles - my first time with Harmony DPNs from Knit Picks. They are great!
