May 2014 Project Update
It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but I am knitting away. Here are some of the projects I've completed from April thru May.
Bayarri Cardigan - from the Berrocco Design Team, the pattern is in Book #307 (Linsey). I purchased the book directly from Berrocco (when they were still offering that service), because I loved the pattern so much. However, didn't purchase the yarn until quite a bit later on, from Webs on a trip to their store during my stay in Hartford for Stitches East (I think 2010/2011?). The yarn was in their sale room, so the price was right!
Maggiknits Beverly Scarf - purchased the scarf as a kit, which included a matching scarf slide, from Maggi Jackson's website. She was having a sale on certain items, and since I loved making her other scarves, I thought I would try this one. It's in linen, so perfect for the warmer weather.
Weekend Wrap - Purchased the pattern (from Cocoknits) and the cotton tape yarn (Lang Sol Degrade) from Knit-a-Bit in Westfield, during the N.J. Wool Walk. Quick project, fun to make, and ideal for the summer.
Flora - a scarf/shawl pattern from Lori Versaci, I made the smaller (scarf) version. Purchased the pattern from Ravelry, and the yarn from Down Cellar in Basking Ridge, during the N.J. Wool Walk.
Braided Cables Capelet - the pattern is from the Premier issue (2011) of Knitwear magazine. It's the cover photo. I purchased the yarn (Swans Island Natural Colors Merino Bulky in Russet) during Super Bowl weekend this year from Down Cellar. Didn't have a project in mind. Just liked the color and the feel of the yarn. I only bought 5 skeins (that's all they had), so I used Ravelry to search for a pattern. Luckily I already had the magazine.
