Ten Ten Zero Eight

Today's date looks funny written in words.

Cables Yarn will be open for knit night on Tue Oct 21st. Join me starting at 6:30pm at 2210 Perth Rd. We will be having a drawing for discounts on yarn and books.

I have heard from so many that they are in project rut and I would like for everyone to bring a finished object and ideas to share. If you can not bring project please email me pictures that you will allow me to post on my blog and website. I am going to create a customer FO (finished objects) page. Or bring your FO and I will take pictures! Please include any finished object from the past 12 months or so. If you can include what fibers and yardage that would be great!





I finished the baby blanket in record time! However I frogged it because the type of increase made it pucker. The pattern is Op Art from Knitty.com winter 2008 edition. http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall08/PATTopart.html I am going to try it again using a different increase- a yarn over instead of kfb and pfb. Which by using the YO it is like the round or pinwheel baby blanket, http://www.knitlist.com/00gift/round-baby-blanket.htm I have knit this several times before.



I also finished my Anthropology's First Frost Capelet. I make mine a touch longer and a few stitches bigger to wear over bulkier items. It is made from Venezia, Merino and Silk as I remember. It feels great and the red is just a perfect color to jazz up my mostly black closet! Thanks to Mary B. for allowing me to borrow size 11 doublel pointed needles! I hope to have a better picture soon. I will not post this on the website. I know there are other versions of this pattern but this is the one I used. Thanks PeonyKnits! http://peonyknits.blogspot.com/2005/11/anthropologie-inspired-capelet-fo-and.html
