IMG_4803, originally uploaded by librarygurl. I don’t always have knitting wins. I have plenty, but every so often I just flat out fail. This weekend I needed a quick project and wanted to finish my summer knitting project list. On the list was this cute felted candle holder pattern. I got the yarn on my [...]

IMG_4727, originally uploaded by librarygurl. I have been on a cable adventure this summer. I have had this pattern sitting in my ravelry queue for years. What pushed it forward? A new obsession with cables and I actually purchased the handles. When I mentioned the project to Pat he gave me a warning, the bag [...]

Felted Wine bags, originally uploaded by librarygurl. I have been trying to finish this project forever! I decided to do these as part of holiday gifts in 2010, but the pattern was back ordered and it didn’t get here until well into the new year. I had three skeins of the Lion’s Brand alpine wool [...]

One Loom Mittens, originally uploaded by librarygurl. I have been sick for the past few days. I have been using my scrap yarn to make projects. With all the things I knit for Warmer Winters I have a significant collection of Wool-ese thick and quick scraps. I found this neat pattern to make adult mittens [...]

The scarf Originally uploaded by librarygurl The second scarf I made for Katie (upon her move to NYC) was this easy cable scarf. This is my second attempt at cables and I figured out why I had so many problems with the first project (Gabby’s shrug, which I frogged). It had to do with the [...]

Icord scarf Originally uploaded by librarygurl I don’t have many adult male friends who get knitting gifts. This year I happened to have two of them who asked for scarves. I hunted down this fantastic pattern to make an I-Cord scarf. Essentially, knit 6 icords. I picked two colors, but the pattern calls for three [...]

nesting bowl Originally uploaded by librarygurl. So, here is what happened with this bowl. When I cast off the bowl I just ran the embroidery needle through the remaining stitches and I guess I missed one. I didn’t notice this until after the felting when the stitches dropped in the machine. I was a bit [...]

Felted small bowls Originally uploaded by librarygurl. So these are the two smaller nesting bowls. I love the way these turned out and I will explain the right side one in another post. The color is perfect, the size is perfect and they fell into shape so nicely. The yarn is something Karen sent me [...]

Felted Bowl Originally uploaded by librarygurl. Here is the larger of the nesting bowls. It turned out to be much taller than wider- not what I was expecting in the end. It’s not fully shaped because there is nothing in there. I am trying to find the right size objects for this bowl. I tried [...]
