Cast on Electric Blue

If you follow me on my other blog Jeweled Frog Creations, you will have been awair that I have lost my computer to age (fear not I am getting it repaired) But I have had to busy my self in other directions instead of relaying on my digital art.  In the coarse of this period I have been drawn back to my meditations and have offerd a giveaway on the Jeweled Frog Creations, It will be ending in a week so hurry and sign up by leaving and following my blog.

But for all you yarn lovers here is my latest creation that I am working on.

A true delight this book.  Simple designs that you can take and put your own twist on.  I love it and who is it by well Interweave of coarse.

I am creating this pattern here.

With little flicks of gold this is knitting up to be great!

Casting on Norwegian Style

Ever knitted a pair of socks and then went to slip them on and they be tight at the cast on?  Well no more this is a great way to cast on and have some fantastic stretch.  

Knitting Left Handed

I am always unsure when I post things because everyone has their own style.  But I believe you have to start some place.  Here is what I learned from a very nice German woman who visited one year.  She spoke no English but as you can see she passed on quite a tip with no trouble communicating. 

Working on some socks for my 10yr old. I am using a waffle pattern to add loft and warmth. It is a simple repeat 6 +2 for a small waffle. Knit one, slide one on cable needle and hold to the back, knit 2 knit the one from cable needle, slide two on to cable needle hold in front, knit one, knit the two from cable needle. Next two rows are knit. Third row knit one place two on cable needle hold to front knit one knit two from cable needle. Place one on cable needle hold to back knit two knit one from cable needle knit one knit two rounds.
