Keep Calm Craft On: Knitting and Sewing

Joining Nicole at Frontier Dreams for KCCO...

Some recently finished projects:

my Mara shawl in wonderful (I loved, loved, loved working with this yarn!) Madelintosh Tosh DK (the colorway is Antique Lace)







I am now definitely addicted to knitting shawls! What better way could there be to show off and wrap yourself in beautiful yarn... As soon as I finished my Mara, I immediately started working on a another shawl, this time in Fleece Artist Goldielocks, following this simple method. You simply cast on 3 stitches and knit every row, increasing (knit front and back) of the first stitch (beginning of each row).


fingerless gloves in Noro Vintage



I sewed a bag as a gift for a friend. I love this Anna Maria Horner fabric.



I'm now working on a sweater for Sacha in Three Irish Girls Lindon Merino (Winter Birch).


Happy crafting on!

  6. What wonderful projects! Your shawl is beautiful. I've got the shawl knitting bug - I love the way that start as just a few tiny stitch then bloom into something wonderful.
    We are having a very cold spring, so I'm thinking of making myself some fingerless mitts. That Noro yarn is stunning!
