FO Black Friday!

Hope this Black Friday's FO Friday finds you well and well-rested after a day of eating and napping! We have quite an array of FOs for your viewing pleasure. Have a great weekend!

Cate whipped up this Laurel from Jared Flood's Made in Brooklyn in no time! She used one of our newest fall yarns, Malabrigo Twist. It's just perfect!

Cate also whipped up this Yale-themed scarf for her nephew- it'll be such a nice surprise!

After a false start, Brenda knit up this Head Hugger hat (one of our favorite single hat patterns!) out of Classic Elite's Moorland. The color is great and Brenda's timing perfect!


LaToya showed us her latest afghans for Afghans contribution. Very cute!

Amy just finished Still from Kim Hargeaves book Thrown Together. She knit hers out of Rowan Calmer- such a perfect color!


Mystery baby sporting a crocheted sweater made by her friend visiting from Colorado (sorry I'm very short on details!!). Very sweet!


I'm pretty sure Lisa's very excited to be done with this gorgeous Lamb's Pride Bulky blanket. It was absolutely worth it!

Interweave Knits Winter - already!

The cooler time of year is going by way too fast. Case in point: we just received the winter 2009 edition of Interweave Knits. Lots of good stuff this time around.

Knit night's in less than 24 hours!

Yikes! I completely forgot to send out the e-mail reminding you about knit night...

It's tonight!

Hope to see you!

FO Friday!

Cindy brought this in yesterday and I forgot to post it! It's the ChicKnits Miss BB knit out of Classic Elite Waterlily. This is the second ChicKnits pattern we've seen Cindy do in less than a month or two! Fantastic!


Cherie knit this gorgeous blanket for her arriving-in-March grandson! She used Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in a whole host of colors using Super Stitches Knitting for stitch pattern inspiration. To finish, she single crocheted around all of the squares, whip-stitched them together, and finished with a single crochet in the dark gray around the finished blanket. It's so great!


Molly Miss Molly in her lovely Race for the Cure 2009 cap. You can find the pattern here. Molly knit hers out of Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton in color Shell. So pretty!


Also knit out of Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton is Ashley's Cropped Cardigan with Leaf Ties from fitted knits by Stefanie Japel. Ashley opted not to do the turned hems at the bottom or at the cuffs and it looks fantastic!


It was a labor of love for Pam (and I know- I knit this, too). The Cable & Rib Vest from Jo Sharp's knit issue 3. It looks simple enough, and it is, but it takes way longer than you think it should! The results are so worth it, though! Pam used a yarn she bought during her trip to Estonia.


Jessica knit up this gorgeous Peek-A-Boo Cloche out of Interweave's LaceStyle for a friend in South Dakota (or was it Minnesota...?). It's lace on the outside with a stockinette liner that peeks through the lace holes. Jessica used Madeline Tosh sock yarn in color Lapis for the lace portion and Louet Gems Sportweight in color Grape (or maybe it was Lilac). Either way, it's as beautiful as it is warm. Nice job, Jessica!


Melanie is making a double appearance on FO Friday this week! First up is her Ingenue from Wendy Bernard's Custom Knits. She used Jo Sharp's Silkroad DK Tweed in color Asparagus. It fits her so well! I've got sweater-envy!

Melanie's second submission to FO Friday is the Hourglass Sweater from Joelle Hoverson's Last Minute Knitted Gifts. She used Jo Sharp's Silkroad DK Tweed. This cute top is a gift so please don't tell!

Malabrigo sock yarn is here

We just ordered a whole slew of Malabrigo sock yarn to refill our sad and nearly-empty Malabrigo sock bin and it arrived today! The shelf is happy again.

clockwise from top left:
Chocolate Amargo, Eggplant, Natural, Stonechat, Lettuce, Ochre, Terracotta, Botticelli Red, Cordovan

Cormo!

Ahhhh, at last, worsted weight in natural cream....

How we love Elsa Wool Company and their squishy cormo.

FO Friday

Everyone's been so busy! Enjoy!

Tracy just finished up this Zip from CocoKnits. It's a little tough to see from the picture, but it zips up the back for ease of on-and-off of the little person who dons it. Tracy knit this gift out of Classic Elite Waterlily.


This is Robin's spectacular Cari from the lenpur linen collection. The Lenpur Linen has such amazing drape, we haven't seen anything knit out of it that we didn't love. And the horn toggle button is perfect, too.


This is Kate's mother's scarf number 1...

...and Kate's mom's scarf number 2. She knit both out of Malabrigo Worsted. Nice job, Kate's mom!


Teri-Kay is back with her latest. It's Sarita from Rowan Magazine 41 using a whole host of colors of Summer Tweed. Welcome back, Teri-Kay!


Yay! Laura finally sewed on her buttons and machine-sewed the buttonholes on her Symphony (cardigan body, sweater sleeves from Rowan Classic: romance book. She used Rowan's Siena, a gorgeous 4ply mercerized cotton. It's just beautiful!


Here's me in my one-skein of Plain & Fancy Sheep & Wool garter stitch scarf. It was the perfect long-car-ride, football-watching-in-a-smoke-free-bar, mindless kind of project.


These just in! Mim finished up these scrumptious wrist warmers this week out of Pagewood Farms sock yarn. If you like them, you can buy them here.
