knittedyarns Gail Lace Shawl in Carnation Pink Cashmere

One of my close friends had a milestone birthday last year. Since it was close to our wedding, I promised her a hand knit lace shawl within a year. I taped a piece of the lace weight cashmere to my card. It’s carnation pink just like the color of the Crayola Crayon.    I have […]

knittedyarns Knitted Gifts-Spreading the Love

Many of my knitting friends are always making items that are presents for their friends, family and charity. It seems to be a way to offer their love and support. Therefore when my friend Amanda invited me to join her for her annual Webs Tent Sale pilgrimage, I wanted to make her something special to show […]

knittedyarns MDSW-Fiber Festival Here We Come!

The Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival is held the first weekend in May in West Friendship, Maryland. It claims to be the largest fiber festival in the U.S.

knittedyarns The Point About Cuffs-Lace edging modified

  To sex up the Thermal Scoop Neck Pullover, I decided to add removable lace cuffs. I took my inspiration from Vicki Square’s The Point About Cuffs in Lace Style. Vicki Square’s pattern is meant to be worn under a blazer. When I checked on Ravelry, there were a mere 13 photos and most knitters […]

knittedyarns Recession Buster Knitting- Free Shetland Scarf Pattern

  As I was knitting my mother’s black Shetland Lace Scarf, I realized that this pattern makes a great recession buster project since it can be made with only one ball of lace weight yarn. Lace weight yarn for those of you who have used it has great yardage per skien and it’s usually reasonably priced.    While lace […]
