Old Projects

This bag dates all the way back to my pre-knitting days! I almost forgot how much "stuff" I made with crochet hooks. Well, deary me, it is voyaging around New York City now on the shoulder of the lovely Anca, who I must say, I still think it suits quite well.










This is my first sweater. Made from three tones of Cascade 220, I used exclusively size 8 single needles to knit this. The model here is my sister, Leah, who sports her hoodie around the campus of Albion College, located about an hour west of our home town of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Hat-tastic! This is a simple adaptation of the ribbed hat design from the Stitch 'n Bitch book by Debbie Stoller, which I used to teach myself to knit on a long car ride back to Michigan from North Dakota. This hat, though, went the opposite way, and lives in my uncle's car, for use on the trip between Fargo and Valley City, North Dakota.









Hope you enjoyed looking at some of my early work. I should have more updated stuff soon. In the last few days, I have finished a skein of pink kool-aid dyed domestic yarn, I have a spool of orange kool-aid merino energized singles, and some undyed as well. I am also blocking the devil's hat for Erin, as well as my first experiment with intarsia...a small star patch. Easier than I thought.

Some days I don't want to leave my room. All I want to do is sit at home and work on my fiber.
