When I was walking through the Calgary airport on Wednesday I was altogether stopped in my tracks by the scene of Rachel Weisz in the most fantastic sweater on the top of American Vogue:
I of course cracked out the wallet immediately.
I desire that sweater — well to be accurate I wish to establish such a [...]
Isn’t Vancouver beautiful?
On the needles is a scarf of a sort. I want to use up a lump of thread that I made up when I started knitting. I wanted to do a figure like Kaffe Fassett’s Persian poppies waistcoat (non-Ravelry link for an estimate of what I mean).
I really didn’t understand about [...]

I only got back from Vancouver, and I will be posting pics of what I was knitting and what character I bought shortly.

I make about time now to exercise on whatever my petty heart desires, and my spirit has alighted on this scarf, which I haven’t had a fortune to go on in several months.
I have swatched with this yarn several times now, and I wasn’t sure just how to have the about of it.
I was defeated [...]

Wisp is only a pattern in the broadest sense of the word and borrows heavily from Debbie New’s scribble lace technique from Unexpected Knitting, which is quite frankly one of the most wonderful knitting books I have ever come across.
I believe I have mentioned this before, but I think Debbie New would be the most [...]
