Needles of Iron

October 1, 2008

On the Needles of Iron

Fall flowers from my yard. Asters and mums, all with their best hats on!

We have sox of alpaca, my own recipe, my own handspun. (Such the earth woman she is!)
mmmmm….squoooshy on my feet they will be!

We have a sunflower dishcloth from Mason-Dixon Knitting.

Very, very fun, and sunny! #2 is on the needles now. So many ends to weave, but so worth it! (Note: Pattern calls for many colors used for the center, but I used a variegated yarn.)

We have stocking stuffers using up lots of blue cotton yarn (thank you, Wisest Sister)!


Green, eco-friendly shopping bags from Plymouth Yarns…well, blue really…but still eco-friendly!

And the project which cannot be named.


Whatever can it be? And for whom? And for which I can find no pattern on line....

And FIVE Calorimetries (from Knitty). I have one more to go.



I hope they are appreciated and that they fit! Most are made with handspun, too.

And the ubiquitous 4-corner dishcloth for 1870 Pearl. With matchy matchy tribble (same site).
My favorite dishcloth pattern ever. Ever. And of which I have no photo because I forgot when taking all these others.

(See. Lots going on here besides complaining.)

Wow! You have been busy. I especially like the alpaca socks that you have started. Should be nice and warm.

I think you should be called "Flying Needles" instead of Iron Needles. Such a lot of things to have completed! You are truly amazing!!
Thanks for the link to the shopping bags. I have only been able to find crochet patterns for shopping bags...and I DO have some cotton yarn! Love, WS

wow.
I am in awe of how much knitting you have accomplished. I have just picked my tiny knitting projects back up (Maine Mitts for my sister and hubby; sassy shawl for me).

I just planted my iris today and hope to have a blog up about them tomorrow. Thanks so much for sending me such treasures!

I'm so wanting to learn to spin, your handspun looks so nice. And thanks for your comment about my terrible misfortune with the Seascape. I ended up taking everyone's advice and redoing it. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. The pattern is quite nice, don't let my problem give you pause.

You have been so prolific, it puts me to shame! Looks like you have lots of gifts already to go.

The market bags are a great idea! I just use those freebies you get at trade shows, but have been know to modify them. The one Calorimetry that I knit came out way too big but the recipient loved it. Anyway, that is what she told me. *smile*

The white thing... are you wrapping a mummy? Am I close?

Thanks for all the great comments, y'all. Now you know that this hasn't been just in the past week!

And Marin-it wasn't for a mummy...to begin with....

Holy bovines! Do you let your needles cool off between projects, or do you let the heat from them block your projects as you go? I feel like a total slacker by comparison!

You really HAVE been busy! I think you will absolutely love the alpaca socks! I've never seen Calorimetries before. I'll have to try one for the cold weather...or several...could be great Christmas stocking stuffers!

My gosh girl! You are a knitting fiend! I love all the projects. I can't wait to see what this mystery project blossoms into.

Needles of Iron

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
