Love Love LOve it. It is a fair isle design that is stylish enought that I would love to wear it. Question for the experts.... as someone who has zero ability to modify a pattern.... autumn rose has a slightly lower neckline than I'd feel comfortable with. Maybe 1-2 inches higher.... is there an easy method to making a change? I think this will be my next challenge when I complete my Persian Tiles. :) The colors are just perfect!
Autumn Rose - beautiful colors and knitting! Can't wait to see the sleeve and body knitted together - so exciting! Makes me want to get back to stranded knitting! m :)
I took "Rose" on vacation with me (I'm posting this from Vancouver Island) and lo and behold - forgot the shetland black at home!!!!! I've done as much on the sleeve as I can without the black but I'm so mad at myself. It's a great pattern and none of the yarn stores here carry the Shetland 2 ply. It looks beautiful so far. Can't wait to see yours.
Rainshadow Hanging Garden Stole sample beaded bracelets for the workshop! examples of how colour and beads work together! Rolling Thunder Gauntlets Fluency Gloves Dryad, by Sivia Harding for Twist Collective, Winter 2009 a personal favourite right now :) Lumen, by Sivia Harding for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 4! Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic. I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Happy New Year! I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
