WIP Wednesday: Monkey v. Chicken

Posted on October 20, 2016 by applejackstudio

I am not normally one to knit from kits, but a friend of mine saw the giraffe hat I had made and really wanted a monkey hat.  To be clear, my friend is an adult, lol.  But I am happy to make things for friends, so off I went to order kits.  (Kits, because I […]

WIP Wednesday: 3 Color Cashmere Cowl

Posted on September 8, 2016 by applejackstudio

I apparently am not so great at knitting deadlines, as the 2016 Ravellenics came and went and I am maybe half way done with my project.  As a refresher, I am making the 3 Color Cashmere Cowl by Joji Locatelli.  I have finished bands 1 and 2, and am one repeat through band 3. I […]

WIP Wednesday: Giraffe Hat

Posted on July 27, 2016 by applejackstudio

The other day, I had to run some errands and I knew I was going to end up sitting and waiting here and there throughout the day.  I have socks on the needle, but one is at the heel turn, and the other I am following a pattern, so they weren’t really conducive to stop […]

WIP Wednesday: The Landmark Project Blog Makeover

Posted on June 23, 2016 by applejackstudio

For this WIP Wednesday post I have an announcement.  My WIP I am working on is actually the structure of this blog.  You’ll notice some dust as I update some menus and add additional content over the next several days. One of the things I am passionate about is photography.  I am by no means […]

WIP Wednesday: Knit Your Love

Posted on March 30, 2016 by applejackstudio

This week’s WIP is another Martina Behm pattern called Knit Your Love.  I am not a huge fan of shawls, but the workshop was being offered by my favorite teacher at my LYS, so I signed up for it anyway.  I am going to give it away as a gift once it is finished. What […]

WIP Wednesday: Nuvem

Posted on March 23, 2016 by applejackstudio

When I first started knitting, I pictured knitting up all kinds of glamorous wraps to wear around little black dresses.  At the time, I didn’t know how to knit lace, that knitting on lace weight yarn on tiny needles took forever, or that I would have such a hard time choosing a project.  As usual, […]

WIP Wednesday: Spa Day Facecloth

Posted on March 16, 2016 by applejackstudio

Sometimes I just need something easy to knit that I don’t have to think about.  I don’t want to have to focus on a pattern or counting stitches or complicated stitches.  When I have days like this, I turn to my favorite trusty facecloth pattern – a simple pattern that is easy to memorize and […]

WIP Wednesday: Pretty Little Italy

Posted on March 9, 2016 by applejackstudio

One of the first crafts I really enjoyed when I was younger was counted cross-stitch.  Aside from reading, it is probably the craft that has been around in my hobby repertoire the longest.  Following a pattern and making that little x over and over until it turns into an actual picture is kind of amazing. […]

WIP Wednesday: Campbell Blanket

Posted on March 2, 2016 by applejackstudio

When gift giving, I like to give unique gifts when I can.  This often means making something handmade for the recipient, assuming they are the kind of person that would appreciate handmade items.  My go to gift for baby showers are knitted baby blankets, and since those can take a little while to make I […]

WIP Wednesday: Afghan Square

Posted on February 24, 2016 by applejackstudio

In my quest to learn new things, I signed up for a heritage afghan series of classes at my local yarn shop.  We do one square together in class and one square on our own once a month, and then around October or November we will seam them up and knit a cabled border around […]
