FO: Placket-neck Pullover

Posted on August 31, 2009 by angelanoel

Several months ago I decided to make a baby sweater for Matt’s cousin, Rachel, who was having a baby in the late summer. She loves bright colors and I figured, hey, this is a great opportunity to knit in colors … Continue reading →

FO: Icarus for Esther

Posted on August 30, 2009 by angelanoel

No, Esther’s not actually an aunt – she’s my mother in law – but I did throw in a shawl for her in the middle of the Aunt Shawl project. Hers was made using a great hand-dyed yarn I got … Continue reading →

Posted on August 29, 2009 by angelanoel

Must also start with a thank you – this time to Olga who was nice enough to give me this yarn in exchange for that silk I loved but could never get to work. The second shawl of the Aunt … Continue reading →

Posted on August 28, 2009 by angelanoel

First, a big thank you to Beth for giving both the yarn and book the pattern came from as repayment for making her the blue nanner socks a few months back. It was really, really unnecessary. As in, I will … Continue reading →

FO: Shalom

Posted on August 26, 2009 by angelanoel

This was the sweater I actually made after all of the late-May “what sweater should I make” insanity. I decided that I could take the time and brainpower to change the sweater for my gauge and non-32” bust size. I … Continue reading →

FO: Tuscany

Posted on August 25, 2009 by angelanoel

This weekend, the Wheel of FOs was dismanteled in favor of a trip to the beach to see family in southern Deleware. It went out with the trash Sunday night and, therefore, won’t be making any more appearances. Instead, you’re … Continue reading →

FO: Topaz

Posted on August 21, 2009 by angelanoel

Spun the wheel and it came up with number 10. Without further ado, Topaz. I wanted to use up the single skein of W40 left from my Shalom sweater (to be blogged later) and decided, hey, it was about time … Continue reading →

FO: Lavendar Ishbels

Posted on August 20, 2009 by angelanoel

I had my boss spin the wheel to choose the next project. Don’t worry, he adequately made fun of me and my whole Wheel of FOs concept. I can’t blame him. Without further ado, project number 8: Ishbels #1 and … Continue reading →

Do you smell something? (or, Angela Freaks Out)

Posted on August 20, 2009 by angelanoel

So I’m laying in bed last night, trying to fall asleep. I kept tossing and turning, thinking about what’s going to happen on the next season of The Wire. Suddenly, I noticed an odd smell. A strong, odd smell. Natural … Continue reading →
