We Knit Faster Than We Blog

The other day we decided we needed to post about the projects we were working on. Before we got the post done, we got the projects done. So here they are.

These are socks for Illanna that Kiki made with Lang "Jawool", superwash wool 78%, nylon 15%, acrylic 7%, # 83 white, 190m skein equals one pair of socks. Kiki dyed the yarn using Kool-Aid. Find out how by clicking on the tutorial over on the sidebar. She used her usual home-made sock pattern.

Kiki also made this sweater. The pattern is from Rebecca #24 - "#2 Sweater with Gathers" (Love those catchy names). She used 2 strands of laceweight Merino by Skacel, most of 2 skeins at 1,400 yard each.
Here is a close up of the "with Gathers" part. Kiki made up the crocheted border as she went along.

Steve finished his "Crazy 8's Purses". The first is the "8 of Squares" made from Classic Elite Lush Angora 50% and Wool 50% in Grey & Pink. And yes he felted it! Call him crazy, but it is still super soft and a little more sturdy than before. It is finished with a simple snap.

Here is the other side where the pattern is reversed.

This one, the "8 of Circles", is made from Blue Sky Hand Dyed Alpaca 50% and Wool 50%. He used the same pattern on both sides of this one.

It was finished with a metal chain belt as a handle. If you like the "Crazy 8's", the pattern is available here.

Of course, there are more projects on the needles as we speak, but some of them are surprises. Stay tuned, and happy knitting.
