Stillwell Sweater

Fits well; more pictures to come. 

Pattern by Jared Flood.

I modified so many things about this sweater that it will save time 

if you see it all summarized on my Ravelry Project's page, 

here.

Pre-blocking and buttons...

My modified cowl & instructions can be found on Ravelry...

Knit on size 8 and size 10 needles, 

Patons Classic Wool Cream (1 skein), 

and Dark Grey (about 5 skeins, less than 10 yards left of the last ball)....

Fleur de Lis Necklace...

Pretty necklace I made for a gift...

 

Saw this pretty jar and needle felted a soft bottom for the necklace to rest on....

Flower Brigade...

Went on various trips to nurseries where I saw free range chickens : )

Madam Mim Finished!

Colors are a touch washed out from the direct sun...

872 yards of a 2 ply lace weight from 4 ounces : )

75% BFL, 25% Tussah Silk from Woolgatherings.

Wildflower Montage

Starting at the upper left moving right and down the flowers are as follows: Spring Beauty, White Trillium, Blue Phlox, Yellow Wood? Violet, Common Blue Violet, Spring Anemone, Foam Flower, and Jack-in-the-Pulpit. All of these bloom in early Spring (not now) but my camera and photo editing took time 

(New camera less than a year old, after being babied the entire time, decided to completely die. 

I'm back to using my surprise battery popping camera; any pressure on the battery lid/flap and the batteries spring out energetically from the bottom of my camera)

Lavender Feather Scarf

Epic knit in 10 days, feather & fan.

There were daily quotas of repeats....

Knit on size 7 needles, 

Knitpicks Stroll Tonal in the colorway Blue Violet.

Cowls...

Morning Glory Ribbed Cowl; knit on size 6 needles with 2? balls 

of left over yarn from my Morning Glory Sweater (Knitpicks City Tweed DK). 

My own pattern, lots of fun and a present to Mom for Christmas.

Teal Pretty Picot Cowl based on my shawl design (see tab above). 

Originally knit for Em but was rejected as too tight and now is for me : ) .

Knit on size 6 needles and used one skein of Knitpicks Gloss Fingering 

in the colorway Kenai.

Grape Garter Ribbed Cowl;  my own pattern knit for me out of 2 balls 

of Knitpicks Andean Treasure colorway Royal Heather on size 6 needles.

 I believe this was knit before my first Pretty Picot Cowl (above).

Pretty Pink Picot Cowl; knit on size 6 needles, a real theme for me apparently : ) , 

out of Knitpicks Shadow Tonal in colorway Summer Blooms; unfortunately this is discontinued.

Still have some of this left which needs to be knit up with another color to change up my use of this yarn...

Cowls are a true staple of my wardrobe because scarves are one of my least favorite things to knit.

The irony being I have about 14? repeats left of my Twin Leaf Scarf; 

maybe this  should be one of my Stash Dash 2014 goals...
