Steeks Are Cut


I finished sewing and cutting the steeks and am now ready to start picking up the stitches for the bands. Think I will probably do the armholes first. I will work on that during class tonight.

Ivy League Vest

My Ivy League Vest

I am currently teaching this vest pattern at my LYS. This is a Fair Isle using steeks. I have it off the needles now and am ready to cut the steeks so I can pick up the stitches for the neck and armhole bands. I will be posting more photos as I progress.

The pattern is from Interweave Knits, Winter 2007

Sock Projects





I am currently working on two different pairs of socks.


This pair I'm using Dream In Color, Smooshy and the pattern is Faceted Rib Socks.










This pair of socks is from The Eclectic Sole, Socks for Adventurous Knitters, by Janel Laidman. The pattern I'm using is Hypnosis. I am using Pagewood Farms, Alyeska yarn in Crayon color. Alyeska yarn is a Merino, Cashmere blend. They are going to so nice to wear when I done.
