Christmas Knits 2011

ASYMMETRICAL CABLE CAP

Made especially for my dad in Cascade Yarns’ Superwash 128 in Charcoal.  He can wear it for his walks this winter with the three consecutive cables in the front or in the back.  Whatever he likes best.

Lattice Lace Cowls

Made especially for Jack’s teachers, my dear friend Katy, and my sister-in-law Sarah.  Knitted up in (left to right) Cascade Yarns’ Magnum in Doeskin Heather, Blue Sky Alpacas’ Bulky in Seaweed, and Cascade Yarns’s Magnum in Rainier Heather.  Click here  for my pattern.

JADE SAPPHIRE CASHMERE SCARF

Made especially for my husband Ryan.

Ever since I saw these scarves hanging in Purl SOHO, I’ve wanted one of these kits.  It includes 4 hanks of 100% Indian cashmere and a pattern booklet with seven “manly” scarf patterns.  I chose the Zach motif.

Kate’s Lattice Cowl

Cowls are all-the-rage right now, and this spectacular one can be worked-up in just 3 hours.
Everyone loves a luxurious accessory that won’t break the bank.  Create the look shown here – or knit a longer, extra squishy cowl that can loop twice around the neck – or a shorter one that is a bit more snug like a turtleneck. 


Not a knitter?  Coax that aunt who knits to work one up for you – after all, it’s only 3 hours!


I get a TON of compliments each time I wear this cowl, and I bet you will too!

Knit one up tonight (and send me a photo of yours in the morning)!
I would LOVE to hear how you do.

On My Needles: Rosette Lace Scarf

I’m calling this one the “Ultimate Lace Challenge” for my knitters.  

So, which of you ladies will be first?!

On My Needles: Organic Cotton Market Tote

In a few weeks, I hope to fill this one with some goodies from Rockville Centre’s farmers market.

PS – I love to knit lace!
