I always love to see different interpretations of the same pattern. Below are the test projects knit up for my Linen stitch gloves pattern by Elizek and steelelady, who kindly volunteered to help with the testing. Test knit by steelelady Elizek's variegated sample produced a particularly interesting result - with a regular honeycome-like pattern. The thumb gusset unfortunately broke up the pattern a little, but...
These arrived last night from jumbukjulie! I'm particularly excited about the Jade and ruby colourway - in my mind I call it toffee apple ^_^ Jade and ruby Concrete Inky ...

This turquoise, celadon and lavender yarn started as milk fibre from moonlightandlaughter and has a little story behind it... After favouring the fibre on Etsy, I returned to look at the listing many times over several months, hoping for a discount that would justify buying it. It was so shiny with interesting greens and browns (not colours I usually am attracted to). The day...
Cerus Scarf by Hilary Smith Callis I previously made a Ceres Scarf out of bamboo handspun, and while that project didn't turn out quite as planned, this one is much closer to the intended pattern. This project took about a year and half to complete, but felt much longer. It's a lovely pattern, but more and more I am requiring a high level of variety...

They are based on the Fezzes are cool pattern (.pdf), but I love the changes that have been made - adding the "cherry red" trim to match the bow tie, and removing the flip-top mitts for a different style. Thanks for allowing me to...
Like my bluestone and kookaburra handspun, this yarn started out from two complementary braids from jumbukjulie. The braids were separated into piles of corresponding colours (three colours for this yarn), then spun into singles and double plied. I tried a little sample of Navajo plying again with the scraps from this project, and it actually worked. Next time I get some coloured yarn I plan...
Happy 2014! This week I'm celebrating 100 Ravelry projects for my Eleventh Doctor Big and Cuddly (crochet) pattern ^_^ See all Doctor Who patterns Many thanks to all those who have taken the time to upload or email photos of their creations. It's a lovely way to finish Matt Smith's era, with an army of crocheted Doctors protecting the universe with woolly mops and fezzes....
