These are the items I have completed during 2001.
 My
first big, fine lacy project is the Langsjal
Jóhönnu from the Icelandic pattern book Þríhyrnur og Langsjöl
or Three-Cornered and Long Shawls. I loved making this. This
shawl won a 1st place blue ribbon at the 2001 Missouri State Fair. |
 This
is Jill's Lacy Star Cloth that I made
with left-over yarn from the decoration below. It's too pretty to
use on the dishes, so I will use it on the table as a hot pad for
dishes. The pattern is at http://www.knitting-and.com/knitlistgifts/1998/lacystarcloth.htm |
 This
easy to make Fourth of July Decoration
called "Americana Pride Welcome" is in the July 2001 issue of
Knitting Digest. It worked up quickly in Sugar 'n Cream kitchen
cotton with wooden stars for accent. |
 This
is Sandy's Spiral Bookmark. I'm giving it
to my sister. I'm working my way up to a real doily. The
pattern is at http://www.artfulstitches.ca/bookmarks/spiralbookmark.html |
 This
is the Child's Irish Cardigan I made for my
grandson's seventh birthday. I used Wool-Ease and since it is knit
on smaller needles than usual, it makes a warm jacket. The pattern
is free at http://www.knitting-crochet.com/chiiricar.html |
 This
is the "Little Houses Cloth" from
the Dishcloth Boutique. I uses Lily's Sugar 'n Cream, in an pretty
dotted color. The pattern is on page 4 at http://dishclothboutique.20m.com/kpatterns/knit4.html |
 These
are several hats I made using a basic, generic
pattern. I added my own color design to some of them. The
yarns are various odd balls and left-over bits. I will send them off
to a charity in the fall. |
 This
is a bobbled scarf, hat, and mitten set made of acrylic worsted
yarn. It is called Rambouillet Aran Set
and the pattern is in the January 2001 issue of Knitting Digest. |
 Long
and Short Socks were my spring project. The patterns are in Knitting
Lace by Susanna E. Lewis. I made them out of a fingering weight
acrylic yarn. I made some changes in the sock's colors and
knitting and construction techniques. I'm sending these to my
granddaughter. |
St. Patrick's Day Washcloth was made of
Sugar 'n Cream Sport cotton yarn
for the knitted-lace list seasonal projects. It's not exactly a
shamrock, but close enough. I used the club square from the Grand
Slam pattern in Marianne Kinzel's Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting.
I gave it to my sister. |
 Ribbed Yoke Pullover from January '01 Knitting Digest.
I used silver Lion Brand Jiffy. I like the loose collar.
Haven't decided whether to keep it for me or give it to one of my
daughters. |
 St. Patrick's Day Socks for me using Wool-Ease sport in
natural heather and green heather. The pattern was from the ThemeStream
site that, unfortunately, is no longer available. |
 His 'n' Her Heart Socks are my own design. Her hearts
are lacy; his are embossed and don't show up well with the black.
Maybe red would have been better. Nice for a couple's shower or
Valentine's Day gift. Used Kroy 3-ply. They were for me and my
husband for Valentine's Day 2001. |
 Honeycomb Boot Socks for me. Also from March '01 Kitting
Digest. This used up the rest of the gray Wool-Ease sport yarn. |

 This
is a Plain Cardigan Sweater I made for my son,
Dan. I used the basic Lion Brand pattern for Earthtone
Unisex Knit Cardigan, making adjustments for a different yarn.
Instead of Jiffy, I used Wool-Ease sport weight, also by Lion Brand.
He requested a light weight, dark gray sweater It made up
quickly on #7 needles. |
