Historical version 33 of Kake's Projects (view current version)

Currently on the go

See Kake Makes blog for all the boring details of what I did when.

  • Noro coat - knitted one skein, need to buy more
  • black fishnet crochet jumper - need to correct second sleeve, undo neck edging, sew in sleeves, extend armhole slightly, redo neck edging
  • lilac long-sleeved top - front done, just finishing up redoing the sleeve edges of the back
  • purple crochet baby trousers for Katy - need to attach poppers
  • strawberry baby hat for Katy (needs sewing together (must find yarn))
  • bright pink baby jumper for Katy - need to sew on buttons
  • crochet socks - really finished, and have been worn, but I want to put some elastic in and maybe make the cuffs longer

Reasonably firm plans

  • choker for doop - he wants the anthracite beads; I need to buy more
  • cardigan for Marna - black cotton/acrylic mix held with two strands of shiny red stuff

Messing about with

  • Patons green 100% cotton chenille - will probably knit into a jumper, maybe using that Jarol pattern I've had for ever, maybe not photo (I have 10 x 50g balls bought from ebay)
  • 2-ply red yarn with glitter thread (ebay) photo - quite thin, can be knitted on its own but takes forever and then goes all rolly-uppy. I've knitted a swatch with two strands of this held together with one of grey boucle, and it came out nice. I'm going to swatch it again held with the black Monte Cristo (cotton/acrylic mix, feels like brushed cotton sheets!) that I got from ebay.

Patterns to try
