The Longest Run: My Cape Cod Favorites

Silly Pants

Five balls of DK weight Shetland wool from the actual Shetland islands (brought back from a relative's vacation) and a desire to knit another pair of EZ longies united to form this silly pair of pants. I changed colors and patterns on a whim and had a grand old time. Still need to do some finishing, but all of the loose ends are woven in thanks to the intended recipients mother (she wanted her child to get them before she was too big).

Pelerine

I wanted to make this design for a long time and finally took the plunge. The details are on my ravelry project page...

Ro's ear flap hat

Knit this hat from a pattern I just wrote. It turn out just great. I love to knit my own patterns. Would like to share them with others but don't know how to add them to blog.

Knit One, Knit All

I just wanted to make sure all our members know there's a new book of Elizabeth's garter stitch designs available: Knit One, Knit All! I hurried over to my favorite yarn shop and grabbed the last of the copies they'd ordered, and it's even better than I'd hoped. I'd never have dared imagine there was such a trove of her genius still unpublished, and her grandson Cully has done a wonderful job of curating the collection. I can't wait any longer to swatch for the mitered yoke cardigan and plan to go wind up the yarn right after dinner.

If you've got a copy, which designs are calling your name? I hope to see some finished projects from the new book here and on Ravelry soon!

Tomten with jacquard

Belatedly posting this here -- you've probably already seen it on Ravelry or on my blog, but I think this page needed a fresh post for the new year! This is a Tomten sized for a 3- or 4-year-old, a Christmas present for my nephew. I took my lead from Franklin Habit and added some jacquard patterning to the shoulders.



All the details are on my blog! Oh, and Happy 2011 to all the Zimmermaniacs!

BSJ I-cord border

HI, I'm just finishing my first BSJ. I'm trying to figure out how to pick up stitches around the cuff for an I-cord border. I get how to attach I-cord to live stitches, but can't seem to figure out how to pick up on a cast on edge. Help! Please?
