Blogging (on my mind), knitting (Canyon River Poncho with out the fringe) sewing (masks – appx 375, quilted table runner, pillow covers, quilt repair) and cooking as well as cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning have been all consuming during this last 15 months of the Pandemic. Today I saw this interesting post from Interweave Press: Three Must-Know Gansey Cast Ons and thought it would be my entry way back to blogging and sharing.
Our knitting groups have moved from ZOOM and back to in-person meetups which are outdoors for now. So good to see knitting folks and friends.
Cheers!
I finished this lovely piece a little over a week ago and have worn it. I love the drape and style of this knitted fabric. We all know I do not need one more knitted garment … or for that matter any garment … in my closet but that does not stop me from casting on again and again for new projects. My version of Stone Point came about simply because I saw a model on display at my favorite LYS – Avenue Yarns.
Marsha was one happy knitter as she finished her cowl. She creatively figured out how to add the yarn from her cast on tail to the cast off yarn. Without that cast on tail, she would have needed to unknit one round to have enough yarn for the cast off. Like many of us Marsha is on a mission to use the yarn in her stash….she was successful….all used and only 3 inches left.
