friday fo: garter stitch hat, slip stitch scarves

Posted on by

Good morning! I have a few things to share with you today.

First, a slip stitch scarf (part of my slip stitch crochet collection):

slip stitch scarf sideways
only increased to a few stitches & worked even to create a long tail, & then increased as in pattern for the rest of the scarf.

and my second slip stitch scarf:

followed my new slip stitch shawl design for quite a few rows, but did not finish section one to keep the edges staggered & to make this scarf sized, not shawl sized.

Love the effect!

Both scarves are to be donated.

And a simple garter stitch hat to donate to charity

While we were on vacation, I managed to play catch up taking photos of a bunch of things I’ve finished. It rained most of the vacation, but it was nice two of the days so that’s when I took most of the photos. I took photos of new designs, mainly, but I can share today this…

long fingerless gloves

This photo wasn’t taken on vacation, but at my parents house, but shows all the slip stitch scarves I’ve made. I really love this pattern…

a “three quarters” granny square lapghan, I’ll be sharing the free pattern with you soon… taken at Ogunquit Beach, so I’m calling it the Ogunquit Granny. Because of the way it’s constructed, it will always be roughly twice as wide as it is tall.

After a little more stitching, I have more pieces done to my scrap afghan…

I have enough pieces done that I’ve started to border & join them into lapghans for charity.

I’ve also been working on this stack of squares…

it’s a slip stitch shawl that I’m working on for my slip stitch e-collection that I’ve been working on. It’d done entirely in slip stitch crochet & will be available in a couple of different sizes.

socknitting: work in progress wednesday

Didn’t have time to take a bunch of wip photos this week; I completely forgot it was work in progress wednesday til just now! the only progress shot I have…

 

 

slip stitch socks in progress (2)

It’s a basic toe up, slip stitch sock pattern that I wrote up that is in testing right now, & will be ready for publishing probably next week. If you think you have time to start a sock, I do have need for a couple more testers in the size 9″/ 72 stitch version. It’s been tech edited, so the pattern should be pretty clean, but I always like to get testers too – there’s nothing like real people actually MAKING the item in question to suss out the tough spots.

I finally finished something! I finished up a new version of the slip stitch crochet shawl that was published last week on Crochetvolution. I increased until I liked how the yarn was pooling, worked straight until most of my yarn was gone, & then started decreasing. I should have weighed how heavy the shawl was when I stopped increasing; I could have used up all the yarn that way, but I didn’t think of it until too late.

I finished one of my scrap scarves, I’ve been trying to work on some of my projects that were close to being finished because the sheer number of wips I have is currently overwhelming.

various scraps – some mystery big lots yarn, some fake mohair yarn, some vintage dazzleaire, & plain old red hearts

and my personal favorite, the snowdrop shawl. To quote from the website, which describes it better than I could…

IMG_6702

“It was while swatching for another project that the idea for this shawl was born. With simple stitches, an asymmetrical shape, and an edging of petal-like points, the Snowdrop Shawl proves that a project doesn’t have to be complicated to be a knockout.”
