Craft club topic of the month - knitting!

[Biddlybee]

I'll bring that book

 

[RubyToogood]

Oh yes, that's a point, I've still got your Little Book of Big Accessories, I'll bring that along.

 

[Biddlybee]

I'd forgotten about that

Is there a way on ravelry to be alerted when you get messages?

 

[RubyToogood]

Not that I know of.

 

[Biddlybee]

I might have to log on more often then.

 

[Biddlybee]

why do you have to use flickr to upload photos to the other place? All my knitted things are on picassa

 

[Biddlybee]

Well I've done it... and turns out I haven't knitted that many things really

 

[eme]

What wool? And I was about to give you a hard time about starting other things before you've finished your Magnolia jumper, but I see you have now?

yep, albeit with a wonky collar;

I loves it anyway...

Was going to do the FLC in some Rowan Tweed Aran I think it is... you reckon that'd be ok?

You changed your blog a bit? Looks good

That's what I used, having got it in the sales... it is a bit on the bulky side and is meant to be knitted at 16st per 10cm rather than 18 which is what the pattern calls for really. I used it because I had it but I'm not sure I'd have gone out and chosen it. I knitted it at 16st and went for a smaller size, but someone else on Ravelry used the same wool and just knitted it at the smaller gauge. I'll put some pics up in a bit. Well, probably tomorrow now as my internet is bust in the evenings at the moment.

Jumper looks lovely!

 

[RubyToogood]

Well here you go. Still not sure I've got the length right, and not convinced it's the most flattering thing to the larger figure (I wouldn't normally wear a neckline like this) but anyway:





(Should have tidied up before I took that!)

 

[Biddlybee]

I think it's lovely Rubes. Neckline looks fine on you too

 

[eme]

v lovely - If that's what it looks like in the Rowan Tweed Aran I'm sorted... Think we may even have the same colour; is yours Maze?

[Hellsbells]

That's lovely. If mine ends up looking even half as good as that, i'll be happy!
And slightly amazed aswell

No, it's Machair. It really is a lovely colour, my crap cameraphone photos don't do it justice.

PS I've just looked in your stash and you've got Yorkshire Tweed - mine is Scottish Tweed. I don't know what the difference is.

 

[RubyToogood]

NB Hellsbells, if it's the first proper garment thing you've knitted, you'll need to (a) do a tension square with the wool you've chosen, (b) measure your chest at the fullest point and (c) choose your size carefully. Don't just assume "I'm a medium" and knit a medium, you need to pick the size that corresponds to your actual chest measurement.

is there a craft club on today, then?

 

[eme]

yes - do you have my address?

 

[tufty79]

not yet

cheers x

 

[Biddlybee]

cheers eme, was the nice chilled sunday that I needed.... only 1/2 a square to go then I can start sewing together this baby blanket, and maybe tackle a crochet border

 

[moose]

Knitty's out. I've already got sourwood on the needles.

 

[Biddlybee]

Do you get emails telling you when it's out? I used to

They're very pretty

 

[RubyToogood]

Ooh I forgot to say thanks to eme for having us.

Nice mitt pattern.

 

[Choc]

Do you get emails telling you when it's out? I used to

No, I just look, obsessively, over and over again, fairly bustin' with anticipation, usually to be sorely disappointed

 

[Biddlybee]

I need more cabling in my life, but can't decide between these lot...

They're all much of a muchness aren't they?

Think I prefer the twisty cable to the plaited one, but down the front would be nicer, and I want thumbs too.... hmmmm.

 

[RubyToogood]

I think I like the yellow ones best myself.
