Aha!!! I knew you were out there! I can hear you breathe!Anyway....testing a pair of socks which is a "sekrit", because they are considered for publication somewhere. And they don't like to have the design plastered all over the place in advance. Lots of cable-ing involved, but lovely pattern.
I gave my friend Patty the gloves today that were a mystery knit-along and came out way to big for me. They fit her like a glove (pun intended, lol) and she absolutely loved them. I'm all giddy inside. Here is a pic of the gloves:
I am also in a test knit for a baby blanket (no...NO!!!!! I'm not going to be a Grandma!!!! EVER!!!!). The pattern is based on Estonian lace patterns and just "daahling". I will keep going in pattern and turn it into a lovely wrap. Pictures will be posted when I have more than one repeat.
My "Cable-Lacey's" have been accepted by KnitPicks and the pattern is up for purchase.
The "Five Gables" are in the final consideration stage with a "one-pattern-a-day-calendar" and I am insanely proud of that. They will let me know in January if the pattern has been chosen and on what day the pattern will appear.In the final testing stages is a new pattern of mine, called "goosebumps. Here's a pic:
I poked a hole in my left index finger today.
My skin is rather dry in the winter and having to wash my hand in my line of work 5000 times a day doesn't really help.
So the skin finally cracked.....lol.
Too much is going on for one post, so I shall update in the next few days.
See ya!
Yay!!! More published patterns. I can't wait until I get to tell people, "Sure, I know Karin, we go WAY back, before she was famous and all." The day is coming. Won't be long, either!
ReplyDeleteYour hands - yowie! And owie. That has to be so uncomfortable. :-(
*bows* Thank you! You will get the first copy of any pattern book with signature, lol. I got some really good suggestions about hand creams from the knitters on Ravelry. This house will turn into a science lab to see what works best for me, lol.
