pattern: Ana Clerc's San Luis Pass Capelet
yarn: Holst Garn Supersoft (held double) in Mariner, Space, Opal, bought 2 skeins each and had plenty pattern: Dodging Rain Drops Cowl (Vanessa Ewing)
yarn: Cape May’s Witches of Wildwood Sock (used a 16” circular needle without a problem) I have no idea why my gauge changed so much between the top and bottom ribbing. Grief side effect, maybe? In any event, it's fine when worn. I wear this sweater so much that I made two more, also with Harrisville Designs's Highland yarn, in Hemlock and Delphinium.
For myself, my spouse, our resident teenager, and younger child's favorite stuffed buddy (younger child already equipped with one I made years ago), from my own pattern, in Berroco Ultra Wool Juliet & Cream.
I have a hard time conceptualizing this garment as a "poncho" because in my head that means either one of those horrible plastic rain things or the big 1970s square scenarios, and yet here we are: the pattern is Going to the Mountain Poncho from Snickerdoodle Knits. And it's super cute.
Yarn: Holst Garn Supersoft in Sunrise and Flannel Grey. Baby's first fiber arts kit! This is Scott Rorh's Malabrigo Linen Stitch Scarf pattern.
I started knitting sixteen years ago, and this is the first time I've ever worked from a kit--but the ones The Yarnery puts together for this project just have so many colors and, nom. I went for it. And I actually followed the instructions in a straightforward manner. Shocking, for me. Our resident crochet expert / teenager taught me enough crochet skills to make these friends! They're mostly based on Lucy Collins's small blue and tiny white Totoro patterns.
This shawl has quite a wingspan! Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in glazed carrot, green apple, and pearl Pattern: Campfire Cozy (Espace Tricot)--but with a 40” (rather than 47") circular needle and a different bind off (I was working the wrong side because of how little yarn I had left, and bound off in pattern while adding and binding off one yarnover after each knit stitch to provide a bit of stretch) I bought 3 skeins glazed carrot, 2 skeins green apple, and 2 skeins pearl, and used US size 10 40” circular needle (not 47” as pattern suggests, worked fine though).
