blocking | christmas in july.
Despite having knit this sweater at the end of the summer (getting ahead on Christmas gifts!), I finally got around to wet blocking it this past weekend. Isn’t it a beauty? Tanis Lavallee has the best patterns; easy to follow, cool techniques, and beautiful end results. The Christmas in July sweater was no exception. I…

christmas, wip.
Literally–and figuratively! I decided to knit my nephew a Christmas in July sweater by Tanis Lavallee this July–and guess what? I’m gifting it to him for Christmas. It’s all come full circle.

frosted alpine x 3.
This is the third Frosted Alpine hat by Tanis Lavallee that I have completed. I love this hat more than any other baby hat I’ve made because it is perfect for a newborn, a toddler, and quite frankly, I’m thinking about making the adult version for my guy. It’s so versatile and quick. I can…

Remember that French Braid Cardigan by Tanis Lavallee that I finished more than a year ago? Here’s finally a snap of the finished product, in haste. Attempts to take a better shot forthwith. For now, here’s another snap.

biz casual.
These socks were a gift for my guy Sean for christmas this year. Knit up using malabrigo sock in the turner colorway and a touch of peach for the toe line detail (which happens to be my signature). Usually I make standard 3×1 ribbed socks with a pop of heel and toe for him (it’s…

wip, 6.3
My French Braid Cardigan is nearing the finish line after some serious hiatus. Since this snap a few days ago, I’ve completed one sleeve. No modifications; the Tanis Fiber Arts Green Label Aran is pretty much to die for.

decadence, 11.2012
Tanis Fiber Arts Green Label Aran Weight yarn, for the French Braid cardigan I’ll be knitting myself once the holidays are through and the two February sweaters I’ll be knitting are completed. Phew. It’s one of the most decadent yarn purchases for myself (not gifts for others!) I’ve ever made. Squeal.
