Age Of Steam and Brass Revisited

Off the needles and in the mail.

I love the simplicity of this pattern which can be worn as a shawl or, draped in front as a scarf.

  It’s a relatively quick knit and allows colors like this “Nova” from Blissful Knits

Right now it’s somewhere between Indiana and Modesto, California on the way to my niece Kelly.

I hope she finds as much joy in using it as I did in the knitting.

 

*******************

I’m still working on the second Pfeiffer Falls Hood. 

Knitting this many cable repeats has been surprisingly peaceful

As of this morning it measures 45 inches long which, is just a hair over half way….unless the mama decides she would like it longer.

What are you working on today?

  2. Gorgeous!! I love the yarns in both projects! I'm working on some socks for hubby from a wool and bamboo blend picked up at the local yarn store! They are a fun pattern but I am dyeing (spinner pun) to spin some sock yarn for the next pair I make! I've been to Modesto btw your post brought back memories.... I grew up in RENO. :)

    1. Whoot! It's nice to find another knitter! I'd love to see your socks. Bamboo makes a nice long lasting weave and nice for the feet. Spinning! I've yet to use my wheel all year but am having fits to get back to it. Reno? I grew up in Tracy Turloc and Orland...small world 8-)

  4. The colours in the cabel knit are beautiful! I tried to start a crocheted afghan. The instructions are labeled beginner, but I'm lost after the first round! I think I need a novice pattern. Hahaha! Do they even exist?

    1. You can do it! Find a community center or go to your local yarn store. THey can show you how. Very enriching and satisfying to create with string!
