Back from vacation, back to school, back to the blog, and ready to jump into fall with both feet!

happyprek4

Lil One headed off for her first day of school yesterday, and happily she wanted to wear one of her handmade things as part of her outfit.  It makes me so happy that she likes what I make her, and in this case I am particularly proud of the design – Purple Pinafore.  I created it on the fly from a stitch I found online, and a sketch no bigger than a post-it note I penned one afternoon last spring.  I used the shiny and durable Cascade Ultra Pima yarn, and a small D hook to get a tight but lacy fabric.  Despite the detail in the main pattern areas, I think my favorite thing about it is the belted waist.

I hope to someday write this one up, but for now I’m just pleased that it worked out so well.  Here’s another “look” she created earlier this year:

I just can’t get over how fast she’s growing up.  I’m so proud of her, and just the littlest bit tearful that time flies by so fast.

I’ll be back next time with more back to school fashion and patterns!

It’s good to be back. 🙂

… I made a little basket!  The little purple bunny, ahem, “candy basket” is my latest quick crochet project:

basketpurple

It’s made out of “tee cakes” yarn, which is really fun, chunky, and recycled!  I made it over the course of about 2 hours or so, and I’ll be sharing the know-how in an upcoming class at Knit New Haven.  It only required chaining and single crochet, and a nice fat US N hook, so beginners will love it.  Of course Lil One immediately saw the petite dimensions and concluded she had to have one to tote around all manner of bunnies and things.  I finished it and immediately thought how cute it would be as a slip cover for a potted african violet for Mother’s Day.  My Grandma, who taught me how to crochet, would have loved to dress up her favorite flowers in colourful little crochet baskets.  Did I mention it’s made out of recycled tee shirts?  Washable, cotton goodness.  In any case, it was an easy project, and I’m sure it would make a great presentation or caddy for any number of things.

Lil One is a super stuffed animal mommy, can’t you tell?  Just don’t know how I’m going to pry the sample away from her… perhaps I can squeeze a second one out of the leftover yardage tonight.

Top-Down Triumph!

I’ve been “nose to the grind-stone” recently working on my ladies sweater design “Sorella Robina“.

This version is actually for my sister, appropriately.  She picked out the color in a nice wool-free yarn from Knit Picks called Shine Worsted.  In my head, it started as a loose idea of making my sister a lovely, flattering and face framing scoopneck.  The spring green sent me off on a leaf-motif tangent, resulting in the detailed leaf edging.  She is one of the very few on my “to knit for” list, and she’s been extremely patient.  I checked the blog, and the shopping trip which inspired this whole affair was way back in Feb. 2011!  Well, the sweater for her is finally complete and in the process, perhaps inspired by sisterly love, I finally had a “top-down triumph”!

You see, When I created the very first version of this leaf-edged sweater, I had wanted the entire pattern to be top-down.  I love to work this way because it allows for length adjustments quite easily, and with the leaf neck edge being worked first, I thought picking up and working down made the most sense, and creates a lovely gathered appearance around the neckline.  Well, while making my Orchid Robina, I tried to work the sleeves as a top-down set-in sleeve three times, then worked two more sleeves bottom-up, then sewn in.  I had become convinced that top-down just couldn’t give me the snug fit I was looking for.  Finally I realized that the whole time I had been working with the wrong gauge number in my calculations.  For anyone who is interested in designing, let me say it now – you won’t always get it right the first time, or the fifth.  Be prepared to rip and return to the start, over and over.  It’s that whole inspiration/perspiration thing.  On the sixth time, with a corrected gauge in place and some further cap shaping tweaks, I finally got a nicely fitted sleeve, but it was bottom-up.  I went with it because frankly I just wasn’t game for any more trials on that particular garment, and it fit my arm perfectly, but I was a little cranky about the fact that it was not officially “top-down” anymore.  I felt a little twinge that I had “given up”, but the sweater was done, and I was happily wearing it, so for a time, the design itself went on hold.  Here’s a picture which shows the first sleeve style in place.

Well, months later I returned to the design in order to complete the original vision of the sweater.  This time, the bodice was done a little differently and I moved the short row shaping way down on the front of the bodice.  The jury is still out on this being an “improvement”.  It also required grading the pattern to my sister’s size, and I refined how the joining and stitch counts were managed around the neckline.  The bodice was complete without any trouble, and there I was at the sleeves again.  This time, I let it percolate.  My Mother, many years ago, very wisely advised me that when something doesn’t come to you right away, you have to walk away, and just let your mind work on it in the background.  We coffee lovers call it “percolation”.  I did just that.

The bodice was set aside for another few months, and my conscious mind pursued all kinds of other things from crochet work to tutoring math, and designing software GUI’s.  Then, one night just before heading out to my Tuesday night Stitch ‘n’ Bitch, something “clicked”, and it occurred to me that I might have just mis-understood how to calculate the stitch count for a top-down sleeve.  My assumption that the top down method did not yield a nicely fitted sleeve was simply wrong.  You see, I had seen the sweaters in Modern Top-Down Knitting and they seemed to fall off the shoulders a bit, which I didn’t really like.  I think it was the models, not the sweaters, that created this look.  A few quick calculations from the counts and schematics in that book, and I was off and running again.  The “duh!” moment was this:  You don’t have to pick up the number of stitches matching the armcye measurement, you can use a bicep measurement and the work will ease out to meet the seam.  Here is a nice shot of the top-down “seam”, from the front:

And the back:

I did have to pull the joining row’s thread nice and snug after finishing to really make the “seam” flawless – but that was what was amazing: it really looks like a flawlessly joined sleeve!  I am so happy I came back and figured this out.  It is possibly the nicest sleeve “seam” I have ever done.  Just in case you are wondering, I did do a short sleeve on this version, unlike the original.  The pick-up and stitch count is identical however, so the fact I went with short sleeves would not really impact the way it looks or fits.

Now I can’t wait to get some pictures of my lovely sister, with all that lovely red hair of hers, in her new sweater!

Angora Love

Oh what a wonderful weekend!  The Mommy and the Textile Artist in me had a fabulous weekend with Lil One and some very cute bunnies at this year’s Connecticut Sheep and Wool Festival last Saturday.  The yarn was gorgeous as usual, and I did have to break my “knit 6 stash, buy 7th“rule of stash busting to snatch up some delicious periwinkle blue “BB Toes” sock yarn and even a mini skein of bubble gum pink sock yarn for my Memory Quilt I’m working on.  Both are from Tucker Woods Artisan Yarns & Fibers (formerly Mocha’s Fiber Café) and while I was at the booth I ordered enough of the sumptuous “Kismet” (Silk-Merino) to make a nice little Lace Saddle Tee for me in a new colorway “Irish Hillsides” she’s created.  She has some of the best colors out there, IMHO.  I also stopped by my favorite button vendor, Dusty’s Vintage Buttons, and as usual I had to be really be careful not to spend all my money on buttons.  They are like candies for a designer like me, and I got quite an assortment for both planned projects and “just because” reasons.

Of course the real highlight of the day was seeing my Lil One holding a baby Angora Rabbit.  I can’t share pictures because I didn’t want to entirely let go of the bunny while she was cuddling him – but the look on her face was absolutely precious!  Those are the heart melting moments when you wish they could be little and innocent forever!  Here she is meeting the grown up bunnies for sale at the show:

That reminds me, she’s wearing a recently finished sweater I knit up in the appropriately named “Baby Bunny” by Plymouth Yarn.  The yarn does in fact contain angora, and a good dose of cotton as well.  I loved working it aside from the occasional bunny hair up my nose, and the finished fabric is wonderful!  The pattern is the All Seasons Cardy by Kelly Brooker and it was a nice simple top down knit.  I did modify it slightly by adding about 2 inches worth of stitches when I transitioned to the “skirt” area of the cardigan to allow it to hang a little straighter in front, even when she’s wearing her favorite puffy dresses.  I have a pet peeve about sweaters that seem to sneak back at the hip, even on little toddlers.  The lace pattern has quite a bias to it too, so blocking was critical to get it to look symmetrical when it is worn.  All in all it was a good little pattern, just had to do my usual tweaking to make the fit perfect to my eye.  Here’s another pic from a rainy day like we’re having today, while she was wishing it would be sunny again:

Hope your having a great week out there!

My Shy Violet

Butterick Pattern, children, cotton, handmade, kids, simple dress, toddlers, Violets

So, allergies turned into a cold and I am again writing and sniffling.  Spring has come out in full bloom for us here in the Northeast, and the little wild violets have been popping up everywhere, poking shy little flowers out from the base of my oak tree, and all over the lawn.  When I was a little girl I used to make my Mom help me transplant the wild violets from the areas that needed weeding to one little section of the garden just for them.  Wow, Mom – you were so patient with me!

In the spirit of spring revival, I also decided to update the look of my blog!  In my excitement I just “posted” when I meant to “preview”!  Ooops!  Ignore that first one, there’s more to share.

So while the flowers agreed to sit still for their “close-up”, my own little shy violet has mostly been doing this when the camera comes out:

I was spoiled up until now with an extremely cooperative little model.  She has finally become the little “Diva” I knew she would be, and only wants to be photographed when she wants to be photographed.  My one way out is to get her talking, telling a story (it’s genetic), and then the hands come down and the bright eyes return!

Lil One is wearing the little spring dress I made her a couple of weeks ago.  It was a pretty quick project, although it reminded me that smaller is not always easier to make.  Easing in the sleeves was a pain in the a**, and then pressing the sleeves made me really wish I had a functional sleeve arm.  I think my next sewing project might need to be recovering and repairing my pressing tools!  The pattern is Butterick 4176, and I made it up in a purple printed 100% cotton fabric she found in the quilting area of my local Joann Fabrics.  The pattern was a little light on the techniques explanation, so because I am a little rusty, I had to check a few things online, but I got through it.

In another power play she also refused to wear this in spite of being all excited about the wip.  She seems to have settled into it now for “casual day wear”, but still prefers her big, poofy, fancy dresses that Nonna got her for Easter.  I truly have a Princess on my hands!  Any tips from the Queens out there?  We are still the rulers of the land, aren’t we?

Have a great week everyone!

Yarn Along: Leaping and Looking

From small things:

Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?

This week finds me quite busy starting all kinds of new things!  I took advantage of a fabric sale at Joann Fabrics, which led to a trip to the Library to get a selection of sewing and embroidery books including my old friend Simon Henry’s The Little Best Dress.  While I was there I couldn’t help but seek out another Clara Parkes treasure, The Knitter’s Book of Yarn, and something that I had seen mentioned in Interweave called Finishing School, by Deborah Newton.  Add to that two tomes on embroidery, and I have a lot of learning to do over the next couple of weeks!

Today there was a pause in the action as the bad weather set in and left Lil One and I looking wistfully out the window wishing spring would hurry back soon. 

I cheered myself by knitting on my “Sunny Lil Socks”, inspired by another Yarn Along Blogger’s remedy to the winter blahs: “Add a little Yellow to Your Life.”  Lil seems focused on her ballet dancing, watching Puss in Boots (and dancing some more) and the lovely purple rose she selected for herself on our shopping trip.  In addition to my cheerful socks, I am also really excited about the spring palette Lil and I picked out at the fabric store.

She loves purple, so, no surprise, she selected a lovely purple cotton print, and of course, the matching flower :).  She hasn’t stopped asking me when “we” are going to make it.  So cute.  In addition to the purple, Mommy picked out some apricot cotton and grey-blue satin which I’ll be using to make her Easter dress, repleat with embroidered split-front over-skirt and a matching apricot knit cardigan.  I’m designing this one myself, so it will be an adventure.  And last, and perhaps my favorite, is the aqua, apricot and fuchsia print which will hopefully become something for me.  I’m just not sure if it’ll be a dress or a set of pillows for my studio – the jury’s still out. 

Wow, I feel a little dizzy.  One leap at a time I guess 😉 !

So what’s on your needles and night-stand this week?

That’s Jazz, Sister!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As many people do, the New Year usually inspires me to take stock of the progress in the past year.  In this case, the knitting progress.  I checked on Ravlery, which I haven been a member of for about 2 years now, and figured out I had completed 40 projectsand published 9 new designs in 2011.  I also apparently published 277 photos on this blog, in 65 posts, according to WordPress.  Not too shabby, I think.  On my personal favorites list are the Scarlet Sparkler scarf (Madelinetosh with beads – what’s not to love!) and the Vintage Sage Hat.  They are truly items I wear constantly and could not do without.  I also note with pride that I accomplished the marathon knit “Sea Glass Oriel Lace Pullover” sweater, and mastered new skills making my very first pair of socks.  So, my 2011 knitting ended on a high note, a 20’s hot jazz one, with a couple of great vintage styled knits for my Sister:

I don’t knit for many people.  Babies are the exception, but there are basically two things that will get you a handmade item in my family.  Lots of appreciation, and well… being family!  My sister fits these requirements in spades.  She proudly wears what I make her, feeds my yarn habit with gifts and lunch dates at WEBS, and is of course, my sister ;)!  So I was creating a brand new design this year for her, but time ran short,  construction become long winded, and I knew I would need to make something else fun and colorful instead.  Enter Knitty – and Escargot, by Veronica Parsons!  This hat pattern is clever, fun and came out so cute!  I chose a couple of Knit Picks Simply Cotton colors (wool allergy), and I think they are simply smashing together. 

When I finished the hat, I had a ton of yarn left (by design) and went ahead with my plans to make matching gloves.  I created a gauntlet style fingerless glove, inventing as I went, and added eyelets on the back of each hand to “lace” them with velvet ribbon I’d found.  Of course, I failed to remember that the reason I didn’t choose to design from scratch in the first place was that it is much more time-consuming to have to write everything down as I go.  Double true for gloves because you simply can’t make just one.  So, tight on time to start, time got compressed even more when Lil One came down with a fever and cough the week before Christmas, needed my attention more than ever, and of course I did not finish them by Christmas Day.  My very understanding Sister got a box with one glove with a note that “second one is on the needles and nearly done!”  The next morning, as we ate our leisurely breakfast and chatted away, I finished the second one.  This is why family gets the knitting, because family gets how crazy my life is sometimes! 

That afternoon, we had a little “photo-shoot” and I had fun taking pictures.  No matter how old we get, we make each other laugh, and act like goofy little girls, like good sisters should.  I think this shot was the result of a “let’s plot to take over the universe” moment.  It makes me smile the most.  To me, sometimes it’s the silly pics that speak volumes about people. 

So, that’s how I ended my knitting year – knitting for my fun, fab sister, and loving the results! 

Here’s to another great year of knitting, enjoying family, photography, designing and sharing on my blog in my own quirky way!

Free Pattern: Pat Pat’s Hat!

Happy Holidays out there!  I’ve been getting into the Christmas spirit in many ways in the past week, and today I wanted to give a little “gift” to my fellow knitters in the way of a new free pattern.  This time of year we all celebrate in our own way, and for me, celebrating the birth of Christ makes me pause to appreciate the biggest miracle in my life: having beautiful, healthy children.  So, it seems like the perfect time to introduce my new free children’s hat pattern and highlight the Pat Pat’s Hats charity it was inspired by.  Introducing…

Pat Pat’s Hat

Pattern sized for newborns through teenagers, and uses about 50 g total of worsted weight yarn. It’s a super stash buster for the odd ball of leftover yarn.  The pattern is available free in my ravelry store, or download the pdf now by clicking here.  And yes, this pattern is approved for use by knitters working on charity and fundraising events, of course 🙂 .

As I said, the design was inspired by and for the Pat Pat’s Hats charity that I’ve mentioned here before.  The story of little “Pat Pat” and seeing that really great but simple toddler boy’s patterns were sparse made me think – what a great time to push the designer in me a little and come up with a new pattern just for those handsome little boys.  For more information about the touching story behind the charity, and how to help, check them out on Facebook or in the Ravelry Group.  I heard the hat donations have passed 300 hats!  Congrats!  I’ll be adding my collection very soon.

Lil One has been my model for most of this, in spite of the fact it’s really intended to be a more boy-ish pattern.  Of course, she is two, and somehow expects to be “paid” for her services now.  I had to bribe her with a lollipop to get her to sit still long enough to photo this!  It kinda backfired and created the “Lolli Zombie”, but she still looks pretty cute 😉 .  Gotta love that two-year old ‘tude!

As I mentioned in a previous post, the design met with enthusiasm even from her Big Bro, a typically choosy 14-year-old, who truly appreciated the thought.  Yeah!

So, enjoy the pattern, and… Who will you be knitting for this holiday season?

P.S. Unlike my paid patterns, this free pattern has not been tested by any “outside” parties.  Please e-mail me right away if you find any errors or have any trouble following the pattern.  I aim to make every pattern professionally written and easy to follow.  Thanks!

Lil Grrrls Rock

My daughter is, in my view, inherently feminine in many ways.  She can be graceful and sweet and basically con anyone into just about anything with a flutter of those long lashes and sweet little girl pout.  As a mom, I don’t have any real agenda to “neutralize” this – I am pretty much on board with pink, and princesses, and over-the-top hair bows and pink patent leather shoes (her favorite pair right now).  I strongly believe women should celebrate femininity as part of the strength of being a woman.  At the same time, I think labels can be bad, and I like to see her explore without boundaries.   I always had a pinch of Tom Boy in me, and to this day I’m just as likely to be found in satin high heals and a pretty dress at a party, as I am to be pulling out shrubs in my grungie overalls with devil-may-care hair and dirt on my face.  So, with Lil One, I encourage her to try everything including getting good ‘n’ dirty, growling like a dinosaur, and bravely climbing and jumping any way she pleases. 

Last weekend, when I was snapping pics of my latest FO, the group of pictures reminded me of all the reasons it’s fun to be a little girl:  “Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice” with “Grrrl Attitude” and a whole lot of “Just Do It” thrown in.  Here is her Rocker Grrrl “album cover” I fixed up for her:

Her sneer seemed very punk-rock – near and dear to my heart!  She plays a mean air guitar whilst singing “wok n woollll” at the top of her lungs 🙂 . 

She’s mastered the ladder leading up to the slide…

… and loves her new trike she inherited from her big brother.

She runs with abandon after the dachsies…

… and still makes time in her busy day to stop and smell the flowers.

It’s all about discovery and exploration – and I am so glad she has such fun just being a kid. 

As a designer, I was also pretty thrilled that the latest design goal of “an easy-going, comfy play sweater” seemed to be well executed in her new “Baby Beach Stripes” sweater.  In my knitting fantasy for this one I had an image of running around on a New England beach and climbing on the rocks, so that’s how it got its name.  It was actually really satisfying to knit because while it’s “just plain knitting” as my Grandma would say, the color changes kept me awake and made it seem just a step up from a plain crew-neck sweater.  I used WEBS “house” brand cotton blend yarn “Longmeadow” and it knit up soft and sporty just like I’d hoped.  Design-wise, it was not all easy-going though.  I did the neckline a total of 7 times.  For whatever reason, the knitting wasn’t coming out to match what was in my head.  I am very happy with the button tabs now, and I love the look of the smaller neckline with the easy fit created by the button-up shoulder.  The buttons were a find too – so cute, and of course Lil One squealed with glee to find “sheepies” on her sweater. 

The details are ravelled here, and I will be testing and publishing this one in the months ahead, so feel free to e-mail if you’d like to be notified when the pattern is published!

Bunnies and Bonnets

Well… We had a wonderful, relaxed Easter.  Lil One enjoyed her presents from the Easter Bunny which included a great pair of bunny ears:

 

Yes, those are tums in the background – we all ate way too much!  Even Lil One polished off a bowl of pasta, salad and “uno cannolo”.  (She’s learning italian words too, and doing quite well I might add.) Yum!

Of course she was all dressed up for the holiday in her Mommy’s latest creation  – a “Precious Blue Jacket” I made to go with her Spring Dress I made a while back.  With the addition of a Target steal of a deal, the wavy brim “Easter Bonnet” she was definitely ready for the Easter Parade!  Of course plastic briefcases are all the rage this season, so she toted hers proudly with her nearly all day 😉 .

A few details for the jacket:

Pattern:  “Precious” by Marie Wallin, from the book Rowan Purelife – The Organic Cotton Kids Collection. 

Yarn/Needle:  UKI Supreme 5/2 cotton, in “delft” blue, which I’ve had for about 15 years!  I used a U.S. 2 crochet hook.

Size and finishing:  I made size 3-4, but I’d say it was a 2T with my gauge which ran smaller.  I did only one 5ch loop as an edging rather than the two loops called for.  I was able then to use the loops to catch the three little buttons.  The pattern called for multiple ties, but I find she pulls them out and I end up spending all day “fixing” them when she can’t do them over again.

It was relatively quick once I got going.  It just took me a bit to get it memorized and get my hands in the swing of crocheting rows upon rows.  It came out nice and delicate in the end, and because it’s cotton, it has turned out to be very easy to wash and iron.  She got all kinds of marinara on her sleeves and front on Easter and it all came out easily with a little Shout and a quick wash.

Holidays are always tricky photographically.  I always think “we’ll get lots of pictures with everyone looking nice”, but in reality, everyone is busy cooking, serving, eating or chatting, so I really don’t get that many family photos.  Oh well!  I had hoped to share a little more “family” with everyone, but as usual the baby is the only one I managed to snap a few pics of before the festivities commenced.  Next time.

Here’s one more of Lil One, in her hat, just like her Nonna (who is rather famous for her wide-brimmed hats).  She now wears this with her sweat suit, or jeans, or whatever – after all, she wouldn’t want to go outside without a hat!

 

Have a great week – I have to get back out in the garden before the sun sets!
