Text of the page (random words):
tead of tulips i made up my own chart for this since i couldn t find one anywhere and i also added the squirrels à la traceynicole who seriously makes the most insanely adorable baby knits i ve copied several of her ideas at this point the yarn i used here was cascade 220 superwash sport on 3 75mm needles when i saw the squirrel acorn mods i knew i absolutely had to make it something about it just screamed canadiana to me and the parents were leaving the sex of the baby a surprise in the end it was a boy and daddy was a brazilian chinese transplant to canada that it all just seemed kind of fitting it turned out adorable though if i had to do it again i might be inclined to go with something woolier i know superwash is probably good for a baby but i am fearful that some ends will start slipping out also for the fabulous miss muffy that some of you here probably follow as well free pattern pebble vest i love that you can take what is essentially meant to be a boy s vest and turn it into a cute tunic for a girl yarn patons classic in cognac heather needles 3 75mm and some matching booties to go with also a free ravelry download baby janes and yes there was a bit of switch up there the little lamb became a heart i always seem to go for hearts anyway but after my mom said what a cute car i knew it had to go there are a few more things in the works but knitting has overall been at a standstill of late i have at least determined that the carpel tunnel issues i m having are down to riding my bike more than they are knitting so that s good news at least cuz really if i had to choose i m hopeful that everything will be highly correctable plus ugh it s been so hot this summer that knitting is the last thing on my mind these days so traffic on this here blog may continue to be sporadic but i haven t given up on it yet i m also still addicted to instagram if you want to follow me there recklessglue and on flickr i still go by jadeblade i don t ever stray too far from the internets in some capacity and i m definitely still reading a lot of your blogs so hopefully this is the kick in the ass i need to get back to blogging in future i may try to go a little more photo heavy and a lot less wordy but well you know how that goes blah blah blah type type type xo cara posted by reckless glue at 9 43 am 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday february 13 2012 knitting technology sooo i meant to post this ages ago but never got around to it better late than never especially since there s not much new knitting to speak of right now heh i knit this for my sister for christmas and in case you were unsure it s an ipad sleeve i knit it in some lionbrand cottonease i had in the stash and it s a free pattern from emily nimz my only gaffe was in pattern assumption i had basically finished knitting it in it s entirety before i realized the pattern called for a special cast on that would have allowed for a seamless bottom d oh but i wasn t about to tear back and just seamed it up instead that s what i get for just plunging in and casting on my usual way i was trying to hold out for pictures of it with the ipad inside but it completely slipped my mind on xmas day and i just never got around to it again ah well she assures me it fits i like to tease my sister about her intense ipad addiction but it seems that i too have now joined the iphone revolution all that to say if you d like to follow me on instagram my handle is recklessglue you can be my like 5th friend sad i know haha i mean let s get real instagram was the main reason i even bought an iphone in the first place but if you have suggestions for any fun apps send em my way i have already kind of gone app crazy i think in the first week alone i loaded about 15 different camera apps but are there any good knitting ones i almost loaded a stitch row counter but then thought better of it when was the last time i even counted rows i need like a lazy knitter app or something or maybe one that will just do the knitting for me and i m sure i m kind of late to this party but i m also on pinterest now too boy howdy do i love being able to pin knitting patterns and various inspirations easy peasy see you somewhere on the internets posted by reckless glue at 11 41 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday january 29 2012 peter pan collars hmmmm that looks like a v neck to me but what the hell do i know as a long time thrifter and lover of mod fashion many was the day i would while away the hours on ebay using the search term peter pan collar in vain hopes of finding a sixties gem these days the peter pan collar is back baby and you can find them all over the place which i suppose is good news for those of that like to buy cheap dresses on modcloth though part of my new year s resolution was no more online clothing shopping the duty and shipping fees to canada were killing me so with that in mind i decided to spruce up a few collar less items in my own closet i hunted around on ravelry but couldn t really find a pattern that fit the bill so i improvised this wee design in garter stitch within a couple of days i had cranked out a few of them in different sizes so i thought i d post this recipe for you too in case you wanted one of your own there is nothing fancy here you basically just wear it like a necklace or a bib the yarns i ve used are heavy enough to keep it from sliding around but you could always secure it a bit better to your top to keep it from moving at all this would be so cute in a super fuzzy angora i hate it when patterns over explain things but that is exactly what i am about to do here peter pan collar needles 4 5mm u s 7 yarn aran or worsted weight yarns pictured here debbie bliss alpaca silk pink lang silk dream taupe and the cream one is misti alpaca worsted as far as yardage goes i have no idea it was all scrap yarn from the stash definitely less than half to a quarter of a ball of anything gauge not so important you can petty much make these any size you want just use a needle size that is appropriate for your yarn you can adjust the size up and down based on how many stitches you cast on and the length you knit your straps n b i ve knit these in garter stitch but seed stitch would be nice as well basically anything that is the same front back will lay flat and keep the edges from curling stockinette stitch would look fab but you would definitely need to block it to keep it laying flat slipping the first stitch also makes for a nicer edge but i haven t done that in any of the collars pictured here lapels you will make 2 co 12 sts row 1 knit row 2 k1 m1 k to end 13 sts rows 3 11 repeat row 2 until you have 22 sts rows 12 20 knit cut yarn leave these stitches live it is up to you if you want to take them off and place them on a stitch holder or some waste yarn i just left mine on my needles and pushed them out of the way i knit on circulars before knitting the second one just make sure when you have to line up your two lapels again for joining that they are both facing the same way co 12 sts again and repeat rows 1 20 but don t cut your yarn this time you will then have two of these lapels line them up side by side on your needles knit all the way across joining your lapels together as you go next row knit next row k8 bo 32 center sts k8 you will now work the straps separately right strap next row knit next row k1 sl1 k1 psso k to end you are decreasing 1 stitch at the neck edge on alternate rows repeat these last two rows until 4 sts remain knit 13 rows next row make button hole k1 bo 1 st k2 next row k2 co 1 st k1 next row knit bo all sts now i should probably say here that you don t have to put in a button hole if you don t want to you could leave both straps flat and attach with velcro or slide in a ribbon so you can tie a pretty bow at the back of your neck whatever works for you also i have knit my straps quite short because i wanted my collar tight to my neck to wear with high neck shirts if you have a specific top or dress you want to wear this with try it on for length to see where the collar will fall and knit your length accordingly if you knit it short like mine you may find yourself with a big gap of skin showing before your top starts left strap re join yarn at the neck edge knit 2 rows begin neck decreases as per right strap until 4 sts remain knit to desired length and bind off no button hole this side weave in ends lightly block if desired all of the collars pictured here are not blocked sew on your button wear with girlie pride some ideas for yarn modification as i said you can pretty much knit this in any size for example using a bulky yarn you might want to co 8 sts instead of 12 you would then do your row 2 increase until you had 18 sts instead of 22 the rest of the pattern would pretty much stay the same but you would have to adjust the width of your straps accordingly and the number of center stitches you would be binding off same goes for a smaller finer gauge yarn with more stitches being cast on you would bind off more center stitches and have more stitches in the width of your straps which would also mean more decreases at the neck edge until you got the strap how you wanted it i ll see if i can set up a pattern page for this right on ravelry would love to see if anyone else knits this xo cara posted by reckless glue at 6 51 am 21 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday january 17 2012 hawt pink yes hot pink a colour i m surprised i even had in my stash i always think i m such a neutrals girl but yesterday as i was looking at my ravelry projects page i was struck by how colourful everything was i m not sure if that s just how i take a picture i tend to like fairly saturated images or if it s actually that everything in my life is more colourful than i give it credit for it is slightly ironic that i am a vintage lover but do not like this current trend of post processing all photos to have a vintage feel to them maybe i ve just been saying i m a neutrals girl for so long that it s become part of my daily lexicon true or not i m sure all of the colourful tights in my wardrobe would have something to say about this still i m hard pressed to generally wear anything this brain metingly pink on a regular basis and honestly i had to cool these photos down so it wouldn t sear your retinas out of your head the second you loaded this page these were a little project that i started months ago in an effort to simply get this pink outta my stash and after seeing a similar pair knit by crispianna on ravelry and how much do i love those boots she s wearing me want seriously i think i started these back in september expecting to wear them all fall with tights and dresses but the tiny needles started to rub my fingers the wrong way and i just dropped the project altogether right when i was in the home stretch they languished with about an inch to go until i finally just did it to get it done now they become my first official project of 2012 i am obviously easing into the new year so what would you call these boot toppers footless socks miniature legwarmers i am not embarrassed to admit that i have always been a legwarmers girl even when they went horribly out of fashion so this is not a stretch for me also note i am not likely to wear them as i have them pictured i have been tucking them into boots more like socks if i m wearing them with jeans so they are usually hidden with tights i am wearing them more like legwarmers so they are definitely visible then if that helps size wise this is a far cry from all the blankets and rugs i ve been knitting lately and i am definitely ok with that yarn rowan lightweight dk in pink about 1 5 skeins needles 3 25 mm pattern co 48 sts join in round k2 p1 rib for as long as you like mine are probably around 9 or 10 inches bo loosely weave in your ends wear enjoy warm ankles posted by reckless glue at 5 46 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook

s another story and 2011 re cap apart from getting my feet wet for 2012 with this mosaic click the mosaic to be taken to links of all these items sorry it s teeny tiny you can also see it much larger on flickr did you think i had disappeared for the month of december you d be just about right given that most knitting came to a standstill tg i was on the ball with earlier xmas knits this year and i only managed to crank out a couple of wee items in the last month or so mostly due to taking a knitting break in an effort to heal some repetitive strain so i will attempt to post about those little items soon for now i leave you with that mosaic of 2011 knits i already can t wait to see what my 2012 mosaic will look like smell ya later 2011 hey girl i know this is old news but has everyone seen these naturally i think all of the knitting ones are hilarious but some other crafty favourites include hey girl don t stress about me stepping on that pin it s my fault for walking barefoot through the dining room and hey girl i m sorry only 12 people entered your blog giveaway heh oh breaker high how far you ve come enjoy i loves me an adorable meme posted by reckless glue at 1 14 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday november 29 2011 tis almost the season this photo might lead you to believe that my christmas decorations are up already but you would be mistaken pattern christmas rudolph reindeer by loly fuertes yarn patons classic wool in taupe plus miscellaneous worsteds in white red needles 2 75 mm misc button eyes and a ribbon around his neck well what can i say it s rudolph and y all know i have a fawn collection right well i tend to bust those fawns out over the holidays more for some reason but still i simply could not resist this knit and he turned out super adorable i know i always say i m not a toy knitter but a couple of them manage to find their way into the queue every year for one reason or another it seems and when i started this little guy a couple weeks back it was one of those gray november sundays where i refused to change out of my p js for the entire day and subsequently managed to finish him in one day as well it always seems to be the little knits that languish in my queue for like 2 or 3 years and then when i finally get around to it and bust it out in one day i wonder why i put it off for so long you can check out my project page on ravelry for more notes on this little dude but suffice to say the pattern is at times a bit vague i think something is possibly lost in the translation it s
