Cause I felt like blogging

I sometimes plan posts in my head for days and then when I sit down to write I have too much to say for one post. Well to hell with that. I don’t have much of anything to say right now, but I’m gonna say it anyway. So…today I ventured out in the sweltering heat to [...]

Liesl In Blue

Pattern: Liesl, by Ysolda
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cathay, less than 2 skeins
Needles: Size 7
Size: 46 inch bust numbers with smaller yarn. Size about 34 inches.
I love it! It fits just like I wanted it too, and it didn’t take much yarn. I used the numbers for the size 46, with thinner yarn this yielded a size of [...]

In addition to etsy shopping, I have also added several patterns to my queue. I blame Ravelry

1. Cherry, 2. Liesl by Ysolda Teague, 3. Petal other side, 4. Coraline, 5. Knit_Kimono_Sleeve_200, 6. Vine Lace Top-Down Cardigan Pattern.
