Permafrost

This is Permafrost from Cascade Yarns. It's knit in two skeins of Cascade Eco+. It's best to enlarge the photo. the dress isn't blocked yet, but I had to get a photo like this because I love the shape of the waist where the ribbing changes to stockinette. This took only four days to knit, probably about 900 yards.
The pattern is simple, but not as clearly written as it could be, and I think it may have errors in it, but the idea is so simple that most people will do the right thing in spite of the pattern.

Ondule, really all done

older projects

I went to the LYS today and finally got photos of a couple of projects I did a long while ago--the skirt is from several years ago, knit in linen, my own design.  The sweater is Sleigh Ride, which I knit up in October or November last year. The buttons haven't been applied yet! And it's a large, but my daughter is modeling. I kind of like how it looks this way, actually, though the buttons would help. The LYS owner is going to do it--sometime : )

Finished and finished (almost)

 This is a "Ruffled Bolero" from the book Suss Essentials, knit in Schulana Kid Seta, which is incredibly lovely yarn to work with.

 And this is Ondule, by Anne Hanson, knit in Briar Rose Legend. It is lacking buttons only.

In a Golden Dream

little wallets

Dante wove a nice balanced weave scarf on the Easy Weaver A, and we had some warp left over, so I did a tighter weave for the rest, fulled both pieces, which really worked beautifully, and made a couple of little wallets for the younger boys. They each took about half an hour to put together. This might be a fun project to perfect--have to work out the order of the steps, and plan ahead for the amount of fabric, size of the project, etc.  This was a fun way to spend the morning.

And I finished the back of the sweater. Two V neck fronts then finishing remains.
