anthropologie-inspired capelet

pattern: anthropologie-inspired capelet by julsey
yarn: 2 skeins knitpicks sierra in natural
needles: US 10.75 bamboo circulars

i really love this one! funny thing is, i knit it pretty casually and didn't pay too much mind to it, and i think it ended up being one of the better things i've made. i added an i-cord tie to connect the two sides together. other knitters have used brooches and pins; there's ample room to be creative.

hourglass sweater

pattern: hourglass sweater from last minute knitted gifts
yarn: 9.5 skeins noro cash iroha in 91
needles: US 7 31 inch bamboo circular + US 7 12 inch addi turbos

knit in the smallest size, but still a bit large for my tastes... sometimes i like the shoulders, sometimes i don't. depends on my mood.

one skein wonder - first post!

i have a livejournal, but sometimes i feel embarrassed making knitting-only posts so i decided to create this blog specifically about my knitting.

here is something i made recently:

pattern: one skein wonder by stephanie japel.
yarn: manos del uruguay multi in woodland
needles: US 9 and US 6 bamboo circulars

this one came out a little tight around my armpits, oh well. i plan on making another one of these using debbie bliss cashmerino aran in a cute pink.
