Knitting Update...

Working through my second 'Howlcat' {pattern by Alex Tinsley}.  

This one is in a green and brown combination of wools.  The brown tweedy yarn is 100% wool by Lion Brand, and was worked in a p1-k1 for 10 inches.

I am loving the green mohair blend {if it only has 10% mohair is it really a blend?}...

I am using a modified 'Feather and Fan' stitch - Row 1: k2tog x 3, yo k1 x 6, k2tog x 3, k2 - Row 2: purl.  Stitch markers are every 20 stitches, with a double marker to indicate the 'beginning' of each row.  

Started the second section without the Purl row, but the tension was super unstable and you couldn't see the design clearly {pic 1}.  Once the Purl row was added, the design firmed up and you can see the lace design {last pic}.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my informat...

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.
