Every Way Wrap
You might recall I mentioned in this post that I would have to enlist DH in taking pictures of the Every Way Wrap. The other day was quite sunny and nice and DH was home, so I grabbed him and my wrap and had some pictures done.


Every Way Wrap
I tried to remember all the ways I could arrange the wrap but I really couldn’t recall all of them!


Every Way Wrap
I was quickly surrounded by curious onlookers who cut the shoot short! I’ll have to keep referring back to the IK page to learn all the ways to wear this wrap.


Pattern: Every Way Wrap, Okmin Park, Interweave Knits Fall 2009
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill potluck worsted

P.S. I hate having my picture taken!

Getting Started With Lace

Posted by mobarger on Nov-29-2009

I began a lace project a week or so ago, and it’s my first. It is a simple beaded scarf, Kernel from Knitty, with a 15 row repeat repeated 26 times. Here are some steps I have taken to ensure the lace I knit is the lace that’s writ:

Morning Knit early in the morning, and knit alone. Conversation will keep me from counting. Being tired at the end of day will trip me up.

Coffee
I think the picture speaks for itself.

Kernel scarf with 000 The scarf itself is being knit on bamboo straights I bought at Target for $1 some time ago. but in the foreground is a 000 DPN for when I do screw up (about every 4 rows). Very handy.

Also always have on hand a simple project, not only for night time knitting (see my first suggestion) but also to cleanse your brain from all the twisty bits and numbers that a lace pattern requires. I currently have a simple sock and an infinity scarf to fill that task.
