On and Off the Needles Report

Off the needles is this Age of Brass and Steam shawlette.  I used some Cherry Tree Hill DK from my stash.  I made it a little larger than the pattern directs, maybe an extra 4-5 rows.  I really love this pattern.  This one is going into the Christmas gift stash.

I have two sock projects going now.  I need to make some Christmas stockings for a gift exchange.  The sock on the left is knit in KnitPicks Wool of the Andes using a basic DK sock pattern that I am modifying (leg and foot are shorter than a real sock).  The sock on the right is KnitPicks Felici.  I am trying a new pattern, Cafe Macchiato socks with Fish Lips Kiss heel.  I finished the cuff and am ready to try the ix stitch pattern.

  2. The knitting and quilting projects are lovely! I'm a fellow Mississippi crafter. Does 62 have anything to do with the year you were born? I'm a '62 model, too! Plan to follow your blog.

  3. Beautiful shawl! I'll be interested to see what you think of that heel; to me the instructions were kind of daunting.
