purlwise purlwise menu skip to content september 14 2009 by knitter still knitting this aran has been sitting around for months waiting for the sleeves to be sewn on and the collar added finally it s finished and ready to turn in the aran was neglected while i worked on this yoke pullover that needs to be ready for the next class here s what the yoke will look like there are two other projects in the works a capelet in this stitch pattern and a cowichan cardigan on top of all this knitting i m training for another half marathon it s been a busy summer posted in magpie aran 14 comments july 26 2009 by knitter more crochet to get the certificate we have to crochet a collar my first attempt was with some hot pink yarn left over from socks knitted for my niece unfortunately with only two rows to go i ran out of yarn started all over again with a different skein of sock yarn gosh i can t remember buying confetti shepherd sock not a color i would normally buy and i only have one skein well only 1 3 of a skein now if i must crochet then i had to treat myself to something i ve been longing to do spin this interesting and easy to spin pencil roving and lady barbara spindle were gifts from gnomiejo thanks again naomi you re right this spindle is wonderful and the bag is from michale she made it and it s perfect for this spinning project thanks posted in nihon vogue y2 1 comment july 6 2009 by knitter possibilities are endless first off the gansey is ready for class now it s on to the lopi style sweater yesterday i drafted a pattern for a sweater with a large yoke i used these swatches to more accurately determine the height of the yoke the design is from aftur in lopi book no 25 of course as with any design like this the possible color combinations are endless mine is inspired by several other aftur projects i saw on ravelry i m sure i ll change up the color arrangements again but will stick with a grey white black magenta color scheme well i m off to adjust my lopi pattern again going to trimming off a couple of centimeters of ease less ease big needles a lot less knitting maybe i ll have it ready for our next session oh and about those sheep they re for meat and won t be around past fall it s sad but not my choice hubby s been watching shows on how to raise your own food and he s kicked it up a notch from just a small summer garden to getting involved in sheep for meat posted in nihon vogue y2 4 comments june 22 2009 by knitter stash enhancement we ve invested in a few head of suffolk sheep the girls are very cute and quite friendly not sure if they ll be providing wool for a future knitting project they re mainly my husband s summer endeavor he s been watching too many hugh fernley whittingstall tv shows lately the trip over the mountains provide ample time to catch up on the gansey the back is nearly done this week i ll be working on the last half of the front thanks to a knitting angel i have replacement row counter that fits in my little knitting kit thanks so much posted in uncategorized tagged gansey row counter sheep 6 comments june 16 2009 by knitter nothing fancy the third project is done a very simple raglan knitted in pieces from the bottom up it also has a stitch pattern that matches at the shoulder seam sometimes simple is good especially when juggling several projects at once still haven t started the second project a dolman sleeved cardigan i keep pressing on with the other projects hoping i ll eventually find time for the dolman the aran is almost finished but it s on the back burner while i make progress on the gansey and lopi projects posted in nihon vogue y2 tagged sweaters 4 comments june 8 2009 by knitter here we go again we have another project to start for me it s a lopi sweater called aftur it s a pattern i ve been admiring over the past few weeks and with only seven weeks until the next class i really don t have enough time to come up with my own design this colorway is similar to several aftur projects on ravelry i m thinking of adding a couple of pink purple colors never used this yarn before after reading reviews on ravelry i m kind of concern that it might shed too much posted in nihon vogue y2 tagged yoke pullover 2 comments may 25 2009 by knitter finished a project yippee the first project of year two is finished it s the shaped lace t from knitting lingerie style by joan mcgowan michael but redrafted with puffy sleeves this weekend i ve been catching up on my projects it took me two days to sew sleeves on the raglan i swear i ll never use jo sharp silkroad dk tweed again the yarn is wonderfully soft but breaks too easily when seaming on the way home from the farmers market i popped my head into the quilting loft last year i remember seeing some wonderful bags by cheryl kuczek on display she was teaching a class on how to make these bags but not having much time for another class i asked whether they had patterns for these bags they didn t but expected to have some in a couple of months time flies and i totally forgot until yesterday when i was in the neighborhood this time they did have them don t know when i ll find time to make one though posted in nihon vogue y2 tagged sweaters 13 comments april 28 2009 by knitter on to the gansey wow so much interest in that little folca box it is a great little box that i found through the japan knitting and crochet group on ravelry someone was looking for one and another member mentioned that ichiban kan had a few unfortunately they don t seem to have any in stock right now thanks for the tips on the row counter i ll check into the ones that beenotions makes i started the gansey this weekend it s growing fast nearly at the halfway mark for what needs to be done for homework about the aran i mentioned that the strip on the shoulder is off center because of how sweaters tend to shift when being worn this type of adjustment is done on this sweater so that the panel is clearly visible from the front we haven t done this on any of the other sweaters we ve knit i m hoping jean will let me do a panel on the gansey so we ll see if she suggests making its panel off center as well posted in nihon vogue y2 tagged gansey ninon vogue 2 comments april 20 2009 by knitter minimizing accessories not too long ago i down sized my carry along gadget box into this nifty folca box this compact box unfolds to reveal many compartments including one that long enough for small japanese snips darning needles and a mini crochet hook one thing i d really like to add is a manual row counter the usual row counters like the katcha katcha or the barrel ones are just too big recently i was thinking about this dilemma and remembered a counter that came along with some knitting needles and supplies i inherited a few years ago this small flat counter fits perfectly into my box but unfortunately some of the numbers have worn off this weekend searched the internet hoping to find a new one my searches on ebay and google didn t bring up any sources when i search the by patent number and found this the patent was filed in 1941 i had no idea it was that old looking at the diagrams revealed that the holes on the underside are there so that it can be slipped onto a needle it s got to be the predecessor of the barrel counter at this point i have no hopes of ever finding another one here s a picture of the aran although it s not done it is ready for the next class when we ll learn how to sew in the sleeves i asked jean why the saddle is about 1cm off center of the shoulder more towards the front she said it s to compensate for how the garment tends shift backwards on the shoulders posted in knitting paraphernalia nihon vogue y2 17 comments april 12 2009 by knitter no longer a serial knitter i ve been so busy with so many things that blogging has taken a back seat but that doesn t mean i ve given up knitting actually i m on the verge of starting yet another project a gansey this nihon vogue class definitely breaking me of my serial knitting habit so far four sweater in progress with three nearly complete while our fall trip to japan set me back i ve also been making time for other things in my life it s so easy for me to get tunnel vision when working on a project that i tend to let neglect other things but not this year the aran is nearly complete just need to add the ribbing and start sewing it together i ll post a photo of it next week i m also dropping the idea of using an openwork stitch pattern for the dolman others in the class that did ened up having a difficult time with the short rows on the top of the sleeves that s one good thing about being behind i get to see how others struggled with theire projects and make changes accordingly posted in nihon vogue y2 2
