Tree Jacket finito!

I have finished my Tree Jacket and I am very pleased with it!



Details about the mods I did (different lace pattern, sleeve decreases, collar ..) on my blog www.fantasyknits.net and on Ravelry.

This was a nice, fun knit. I am actually thinking of starting Juliet now =).

Chiffon Fifi Is Finished......

Yay!! Fifi is ready to wear! She's actually been finished for a few days, but my photographer was kinda busy. I decided I'd try bribing him with Thai food and magically the camera appeared in his hand! I used just short of 4 balls of Rowan Calmer in Chiffon which I luckily got on sale. Though I haven't knit that many sweaters yet, this is definitely one of my favorites and something I can really see myself wearing. Thanks to everyone for sharing all their progress! You guys really inspired me to get mine finished up :)

More details to come on my blog......

A bit slow on the draw...

Hello everyone!

I'm Sarah, and I'm pretty new to the group. I did lurk for a while before joining.

I've just finished my Rusted Root, and I've started working on Fifi (Calmer in Laurel).

Here's a picture of my started Fifi:















And here's my finished Rusted Root:

Sahara Completed

As promised - here's my pic of Sahara completed. This was the second SKC KAL that I participated in and the first time that I did both SKC projects. I'm really looking forward to the next one as well. More details on my blog.

Sahara is Completed

After redoing the hem and sleeves - going from sleevless, to short-sleeves, Sahara is completed. Pics have been taken and will be uploaded soon. It was great having two patterns on this FO that were fabolous and fun to make.

I finished this a week ago, but have not had time to post info about the project. The fit and look of the shirt is growing on me. My friends say this sweater looks hot. I am just not used to the wide shoulders.

Details at my blog.

All done!

My Rusted Root is finished. Weee!



I messed with the pattern quite a lot (the biggest mods were replacing the lace with a cable and combining two sizes to keep the sleeves poofy). All the info and more pics here.

Another finished Rusted Root!

I'm very happy with how it turned-out!



Like many others, I didn't get super-poofy sleeves, but I'm okay with that. I did make a couple modifications -- I made a size between the XS and S, and added extra waist decreases (and spaced them farther apart).

More pics and details on my blog.

Rusted Root finished and loved much last week.

I finished my Rusted Root over a week ago. It was a really quick knit. I made some changes so that it would suit my preferences. Check out all the dets on my blog.

I am going to be starting on Sahara in the next week or two using some Blue Moon bling around the neckline.

Wearing my new top!

I must say that I'm extremely pleased with the way my rusted root fits. Ok and yeah I still didn't weave in the ends but I will. I finally got a pic today so here it is!


I'm soooo making another one (or two!) of these.

Rusted Root Done!!!

Wow what a fast knit. Even having to frog and start over. Here is a pic, I still have to weave in ends and take a pic of it on. But it's done!!! I love it too, it's perfect and I can see myself making more of these. I saw someone do it in red and I loooved it, so that might be the color I choose next time. Next up...Sahara!

Rusted Root Finished

So I was able to finish my Rusted Root last week at the two week mark exactly. This was a great knit project and I love that everyone has been so sweet and complimentary on the outcome. I will be making Sahara after I complete my Fitted Knits project. I already have some yarn in mind, so this should be great! I must admit that not being able to post on here for awhile was painful. I really missed you guys. lol. At any rate, I'm glad we're back without the blog problems.

Rusted Root FO!

I've had a lot of problems with publishing my posts (thus, no progress pics), but it is finito! now. Yay for long easter weekends!

Eiffel finished

I love my new sweater. I am so shocked that it finished so quickly compared to my Wicked. I guess that accounts for one being lace weight and the other more of a worsted weight. Wicked was starting to make me doubt my speed in knitting.

See why I have short sleeves over at my blog.

Yeah I finished both before the KAL finished!

Mohair Wicked finished

I finished this yesterday. It is really warm and light. It is great on a cold night even with just a tank under it. Check out my changes on my blog.
