knittedyarns 5 Suggestions to Help Knit Mommes Lysedug Lace

I finally finished my Mommes Lysedug lace scarf! Mind you, it took me almost an hour to do the bind off! Having  done a lot of comparisons across circular shawls and doilies, I thought that it would use most of the 950 yards of the Oxblood colored Madeline Tosh superwash merino lace weight wool that […]

knittedyarns Magenta Frosted Diamonds Shawl Blocked

I finally blocked my Magenta Frosted Diamonds Lace Shawl. Unfortunately, my shawl was more of a rectangle than four sides of a pentagon like the schematic in Stephanie Japel’s Knitty.com pattern.

knittedyarns Spring Ruched Neck Warmer Scarf – Begins

Spring is coming to a shop window near you and it’s colored pink and grey this season. Note to self, knit something in pink or grey to lull me into believing that spring is here despite the  winter weather that keeps hovering over the New York City area. To this end, I bought some Malabrigo lace […]

knittedyarns 3 Reasons to Like Magenta Frost Diamonds Shawl

Stephanie Japel’s Frost Diamonds Shawl was one of the Winter 2009 Knitty pattern that I wanted to make. The Frost Diamonds shawl pattern is intriguing since Stephanie Japel applied her skill at making fitted clothes to a triangular shawl which is generally held in place with a knot or a pin.
