Clog pattern

I found this info on Ravelry for the Fiber trends knitted clogs pattern.
I'm sure I have the old, wider pattern. Is anyone aware of the difference in the two Patterns? I don't want to buy a new one and think I may want a narrower fit!! I haven't made them before so maybe I could figure out how to tweak it.................

Fiberlyone's Gold Nugget

 

Started October 4, 2007
Finished October 31, 2007
Yarn: Knit Picks Shadow, Oregon Coast colorway

Gold Nugget

I was pointed to Gold Nugget Shawl by a friend, having avoided looking at new patterns because of the many projects on needles. But that combined with seeing Shui's second version on Ravelry (I'm fiberlyone there, too, btw), I just couldn't resist. I started it to take on a trip to Hawai'i last week.

Here's the cast on from before the trip.


And progress from the trip.


The pattern isn't too hard, but it took a couple of days to get the pattern in my head. Now it's progressing pretty well. But there are other projects on the needles for the upcoming holidays, so finishing may not be as quick as I'd like.

Another Voyager done

I finished a second VOYAGER. It is for International Scarf Exchange 5. Its the Cash Tweed Oak that Tom overdyed with blue raspberry koolaid. The pattern is wonderful. I don't think I will ever get tired of it!!!

It's DONE!

It has taken me a really long time but I FINALLY finished my Pacific Waves Shawl in Sonata - Rose Garden colorway. I'm very happy with the way it turned out except that it is really quite long. I think a little wider and a little shorter would be more to my taste but I still love it and can't wait to find someplace to wear it. Now the hard part is figuring out which Elann shawl to make next - there are so many gorgeous shawls!

Gold nugget shawl

Gold nugget shawl using 2 balls of elann's Devon. Finish size 30x60. I added 2 extra rows of edging. The shawl is extreme open and airy.

Luna Moth complete

Well I actually finished my shawl a month ago I've just been crazy busy and haven't had the time to post about it. It knit up wonderfully and the Callista yarn is really nice and comfy to wear as well.

Here's a picture of the detail after blocking.



And here is a picture of me wearing it at my cousin's wedding.



There are more pictures on my blog and all of the yarny details are up on Ravelry (my username is grateblue2).
I would absolutely recommend this shawl pattern to anyone, it was so quick to knit up!
Cheers!

I'm back!

Hi all,

I am back from my vacation and as always work has been crazy. My aunt loved the shawl and she cried when we visited her in Washington. I am now working on two shawls at the present time. First one is from the Heirloom Series from Sharon Miller called the Grey Shawl (HAP), I haven't take any pictures as it is just a small triangle right now. I am using KnitPicks bare lace yarn which is a very pretty cream color, 100% wool for the center which will be a diamond. The borders are the all Shale design with varying degrees of grays.

The other shawl that I am working is the Peddler's Wool shawl from Folk Shawls (Cheryl Oberle), in which I am using a hand-dyed alpaca lace yarn from a gal from Oregon who I had met on line. It is so soft. The main part (top) is a color she calls Autumn, which is yellows, oranges, greens, and brown; very pretty. For the lacer part, I am going to use same kind of yarn, but in a copper color. Since both shawls are in the beginning stage and just garter stitch, I will wait a little while before I take any pictures.

Until next time,

Linda E.

Two FOs!! Wheee!!

The details and close-up photos are on my blog but I've finished both Luna Moth and Sun Ray. Luna Moth is made with 3 skeins (300yds) of Filati Fantasia Cezanne I bought from Elann last year.

Sun Ray is done with nearly 500yds of Jayne's beautiful hand-dyed 100% merino DK in Apricot. See closeups in my July post. Happy Dancing here!

Voyager lace Stole in Cash Tweed details on my blog

Finally finished!

Hi all,

I have finally got it blocked and here for your review. I think it came out nice. Now for my next project. I recently got a new Heirloom book with Shetland lace shawls as well as other projects. May do that next. So many projects so many choices!

Until next time,

picture of moon detail

Lisa: Thank you for let me know. The pattern is correct, there are purl stitches on the knit side. On the tip of the moon, it starts with purl.

Please Help Anne K!

I rec'd this via email and told her I'd post it here. Anyone who can help her with the Moonlight Sonata please give a shout out! Thanks. Lisa

"Hi:

I've frogged the thing three times, sigh.

I'm working from the 'write-out' of the pattern, not the chart as I can't 'do' charts. My prob seems to be ending up with a purl stitch set on a knit side (with the moons) around row 11? The row 10 write out says k3tog, k2tog, etc...

Written out row 11 says to k2tog. Should I change this to a p2tog?

ANY help would be appreciated.

Voyager Lace Shawl

I started this yesterday, I find the written words easier to follow with this particular pattern and the stitch markers have been helpful too, but its an easy knit and I am looking forward to the finished product. I am using the darker brown of the Cash Tweeds I think it was called Oak

Swatch this!

Here's my swatch; this stuff knits up beautifully! The deep rust color has more deep red/deep rust in it; the lighter colors on the side aren't that over-bright, either. In fact, they're really only about that color deep into the grey, and a bit less saturated; they then lighten up nicely from there! I wanted to show the richness and depth of the deep colors, though, so in order to do that everything else ended up a bit too intense. (Sorry, I just LOVE how this really looks! This gives a good approximation of it, though!)

I'm now calling the project, Incan Waves (she says, waving madly at you!)

Progress Update

I started SK's Sun Ray shawl while on my trip to Vancouver. I worked all the way through one skein (246yds with US9 needles) of the lovely Apricot yarn from Jayne's Etsy shop (See Jayne Knits Yarn). This is a great pattern: easy to knit even while chatting with friends, and, as SK noted, a perfect pattern for a beginner. I am so happy with the yarn, too. This is Jayne's 100% merino, and it is so soft. Having seen Jayne's dyeing process in person (see my blog), I know that part of the softness of her yarns is the care she takes in the dyeing and the washing she does as a last step.

Poor Luna Moth is still stalled out, but since my knitting mojo seems to be back, I hope to finish it in a week or so, whenever I get a Round Tuit.

Progress report

Hi all,

Here is the picture of my lace stole. Got my camera this week and finally am learning how to use it. Not bad for my first shot. The lace project is the Children of Lir which is over half done. Yah! I may attempt a shawl on next one. I really like this pattern. Lots of challenge, with left and right decreases, double decreases, and the like. I learn something new with each project that I do.

Hi all,

I just joined this KAL and am rather excited about it. My first shawl is a design from Traditional Knitted Lace Shawls by Martha Waterman. The design is called Children of Lir Rectangle Stole, very lacy; gorgeous if I do say so myself. The material I am using is a fingering weight yarn from KnitPicks in a very soft yellow. I am using size 8 needles. I have an aunt who is in a nursing home who we intend to go see next month when we are on vacation in Idaho, she lives in Washington. I work at home as a medical transcriptionist, oh for the past 5 years or so. I have been knitting for many years, and it has become a passion of mine. And I love lace. My DH says it is very romantic. I have learned a lot already about Provisional method of using a waste yarn and why. I have got to get a digital camera, so you guys can see my progress. I already have about an inch done. Since I work during the day, I only have time to knit at night. All for now.

Luna Moth newbie

Hi Everyone!

I just started knitting my first shawl (Luna Moth in Callista) and I wanted to share my progress with other elann shawl enthusiasts. Well, ok, I also wanted to find other people who have knit this pattern in case I run into trouble (:{ I'm knitting it for myself to wear to my cousin's wedding at the end of August (yeah I realize this is coming up soon, if I don't get to wear it to the wedding I'm ok with that). My dress is strapless and espresso colored and when I saw this shawl on elann I knew it would be perfect. I just fell in love.

So far as knitting lace goes, once I got through initial provisional cast on difficulties, its been pretty easy. Here is my progress for the first 40 rows. I know white paper doesn't make for the best background, but I'm kinda sleepy, and I didnt feel like finding an alternative. So I'll try and take a better picture next time I post.

I think it looks pretty good for a first go at shawls. And I haven't even had to use my lifelines (yet) *knocks-on-wood*

Have a great night and I look forward to seeing everyone else's shawls!

Sun Ray Shawl

I thought I'd show off the progress I've made so far on my Sun Ray Shawl (being made for my grandmother for Christmas).

This is 40 rows completed:


I'm using the double knit wool from handpaintedyarn.com in 'Cafe Creme.' The French minor in me wants to make that Café Crème.
As I don't have to have this done until December, I'm taking it leisurely. I do like the simplicity of the shawl and it's quite easy to memorize.
