Crush

"I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie.
All the day and night-time, give me sigh...
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion..

Could you coo, could you care?
For a cunning cottage
That we could share?
The world will pardon my mush...
Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you!"

- Frank Sinatra

I'm getting that old, familiar feeling...

The one where it's hard to breathe...

I want to giggle every time I look at him it...

Which I do all the time...

As if I think he it will have changed somehow in the interim...

You know, gotten even more gorgeous than the last time you gazed adoringly at his its handsome face...


This is Yuzen by Noro, color number 5. Such a prosaic name for the object of my affection...

So, what should I call it?

It's this gorgeous hunky tweedy thing.

It's got enough heft to be manly, but it isn't afraid to show its softer side.

And I finally found the perfect stitch for it.

Cause even the most gorgeous man yarn has to get out of bed eventually and put on some clothes pattern.

If I turn my flash off you can really see the depth of the crosshatch pattern.


More of this current obsession is to be delivered in a matter of hours - Squee!

No name yet - I suppose calling it "Hunk" wouldn't be the bestselling idea...

But it would be accurate.

In the meantime I will just have to amuse myself with this fun and easy slip stitch pattern for Silk Garden Lite - color 2014.



And gaze lovingly at what the US mail dropped on my doorstep this morning:

Two gorgeous skeins of Blue Moon LSS (luscious single silk) in Valkyrie, for a future project of the same name.

Maybe you better make that a cottage for three...four...maybe more...

Everything's Coming Up Roses

You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
honey, everything's coming up roses!

-Gypsy


Actually finished this one up on Thursday night, but we had a little visitor over the weekend, which made it tough to get anything done. Pattern has been available at Knitty Noddy and Ravelry since Friday, but is just now posting here...

Well, not exactly here...

Over there>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We had lots of fun with the grandson, but...

WHEW...I'm bushed!

So today, Grandma goes back on the shelf and Pandosu makes her reappearance...

I know what you want, so here she is!

ROSE
a garden variety pattern
$8



SIZE:
18 inches wide by 72 inches long

MATERIALS:
2 skeins (874 yds.) Handmaiden Sea Silk or Mini Maiden in color: Rose
6500 size 8 Miyuke seed beads
#0367 – garnet lined ruby
Size 3 (US) needles
Cable Needle, Size 12 Crochet Hook

GAUGE:
rose lace panel = 2 and 1/2 inches wide (blocked)

EXPERIENCED LACE KNITTER - CHARTED DESIGN

This one is time consuming. I won't lie to you. She is incredibly detailed, with a 36 row repeat. The detail is difficult to see in these pictures. I recommend clicking on the pics to view full size.

The pattern features a combination of rose leaf lace with a twisted stitch rosebud motif. Each panel alternates between the two.

Stole is edged in a beaded chevron panel that repeats at the center back. Rose is knitted in two pieces and grafted at the back.


A rose by any other name might be as sweet, but she wouldn't be a Garden Variety pattern...

Lame - I know, but this is one tired Grandma talking writing...

Typos & Christmas in July

"There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. "
- Napoleon Bonaparte

I will let you decide which is which!
MEHNDI ERRATA:

In the "Legend", the +\ symbol says on the wrong side to "purl 3 tog tbl twist". Should be "purl 2 tog tbl twist".

CHRISTMAS IN JULY SALE

For those who missed out in 2008, Evelyn at Knitty Noddy and I are having a Christmas in July sale!

For four weeks, July 3rd through the 31st, we will make the 2008 patterns - Crocus Pocus, Iris, Hydrangea, Zinnia shawl, and even Poinsettia scarf - available for the single purchase price of $8 each.

Why?

Because we just hate to see unhappy knitters!

So help us spread the word to any of your friends who may have inquired…

Merry Xmas! hohoho…

Rose goes out tomorrow. Here's a sneak peek...

Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Curtain...


"If you can't convince them; confuse them."
- Harry Truman


And if you can't confuse them distract them.

I know you all want pictures of June's pin up girl - Rose, but she remains a work in progress.

Lots of progress.

In the meantime...

For your viewing pleasure...

The Eyes Have It

"The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

And mine feel ancient at the moment!

What I thought was simple eye strain turns out to be pink eye, which is causing blurred vision. I woke up this morning with both my eyelids agglutinated shut.


Never the less, I managed to get another repeat in on Rose yesterday, so I still think I can get her out to you before the holiday weekend. But it is slow going. I keep having to blink my eyes and swap off to a less visually demanding (read larger gauge) project, like Festivus.

This one isn't larger gauge, but I am particularly excited by its possibilities.

I am designing a scarf pattern specifically for Schaefer's Memorable Knitters yarn. The pattern, called Knitter's Basket, is suitable for any of the four colors. I am using Anne in Elizabeth Zimmerman for the sample.

The pattern , which is easy enough for a beginner, features a diagonal basket weave slip stitch pattern that does a nice job of mixing up the variegated yarn. I think it will be a wonderful way for non-sock knitters to utilize these wonderful colors that honor women so close to our hearts.

And now my eyes need rest...
