WIP a Week: Six

You can see more pictures of my week six finished skein on Ravelry. I am Kieristhefastest and my project page is Nest Fiber Studio Swans Chorus.
The skein was spun as a 2-ply fractal using my Fricke double treadle. The finished yarn will be knit into a Baktus Scarf as part of the Nest Fiber Studio Baktus Scarf SAL/KAL.

 

 

 

 

WIP a Week: Five

This is a special edition of WIP a Week!

My post this week is dedicated to the upcoming wedding of my friend Patty. Patty and I met on Ravelry and then went on to meet in person at Yarn School. All of our friends in the Back of the Bus group came together and knit or crocheted the most mismatched grouping of yarn-crafted flowers to ever grace the internet. I can assure you, this is one project that doesn't belong on Pinterest.

Our friendship though, has all the beauty this monstrosity lacks.

Love is all you need.

A WIP A Week

I love the excitement of starting a new project. Choosing a pattern, selecting a yarn, dreaming about my beautiful new knitted thing.

And then I start another. And another. And another.

I have a stack of WIPs that could keep an army of knitters stitching furiously for months. I still love the pattern, appreciate the beauty of the yarn and want the beautiful new knitted thing yet there they sit in their sad pile scolding my lapsed attention.

How do WIPs happen?

1. Vacation knitting! I. Should. Cast-on. Something. New.
2. Haircut knitting. Hat.
3. Ummm... this yarn was on sale?
4. Mystery knit-a-long. Just say no.
5. I'm going to knit holiday gifts for the whole family this year. hysterical laughter
6. People knit things at knit night. And I want them. A lot.
7. People knit things online. And I want them. A lot.
8. Ummm... this yarn is a limited edition colorway?
9. Stripes.
10. I just don't have anything to knit. shifty eyes

But how to get them done? A WIP a week.

This is a very (VERY!) small sampling. I'll work on them, a WIP each week.
