Timberline Cardigan WIP and more

 
It is nice to go back to knitting this great cardigan.  It is definitely not a piece for social knitting.  I have 3 charts that I have to look at and it is spread out on a project table.  I will be making some socks for social knitting and let this baby to do at home.

Will keep you updated on the progress.  I do have a great feeling about this cardigan, it is going to look fantastic and I know that I will learn a lot about knitting.  This pattern as you saw on the title is the Timberline by Jared Flood.  So far what I can tell you about this pattern is that it is a gorgeous piece and that I am enjoying the knitting.  It is complex, yet basic and easy and you learn a lot about yourself.

Thanks for stopping by.

Purple Tweed Hat

This is actually a Tam-Beret that I modified as a hat.   There is going to be a pair of fingerless mitts, No is not Mitt Romney, just some more purple mitts to blend with my two purple hats.

Klingon Heritage Honor Socks

This has inspired me to make my own Kilt Hose pattern.  I can tell you that the most difficult part was modifying the calf, but don't be afraid, is not as hard as you may think.  The Cable pattern, of 14 Stitches is simple to make.  Making a cuff should not be a problem either.

So here they are, I am getting a nice Goldenrod Flash garter for the Hose and I hope they look Flashy enough. I thought the same thing about designing some kilt hose of my own. The harder part was to figure out the Decreases and now I know what to do. It looks like I am carrying Klingon dagger in my sock. QaplaH'

Klingon Honor Kilt Hose

They are not Klingon, but given the pointy sticks that I am using, they look more like pain sticks of the Klingon kind.   These Sock is very comfortable and it only took 75 grams of the 100 grams from the skein.  I used Cascade Heritage yarn.  I did not do the heel flap reinforced, but I did make it with US 0 , 2mm dpns , picked up the gusset and decreased, continued the body on size 0.  This made a big difference in the way the fit my foot, I  must use the cliche, fits my foot like a glove. The pattern was modified and I learned a lot about how I knit which is the main purpose of the Knit Along or KAL.  I always tell  people to observe the way the crochet or knit to learn what to do.  I casted on the second cuff using a circular needle, and instead of starting with the Round with a cable, I started with a plain Round. It is a lot easier to graft a non cable Round. This is the best fitting sock I have ever made in my life, and I am hoping to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
