Prime Time KAL May 2011

I would have had this done weeks ago but I opened one of my books and , 3 books later , I got lost. This is my second Haruni Shawl and I love it. My youngest daughter wanted a red one and my oldest loves purple. I blocked it differently this time. I just finished blocking it an hour ago so I will get better pics when it is done.

Prime Time KAL March 2011

This is my project for March. I made it for my daughter because it just looked like a teenager project. It is the Caron Braided Cowl. I used a larger needle and made each strip longer since we tend to have larger heads than most.

Since I made strips from three different skeins I had to try my math abilities out to see how much yarn I used. Let me know if I have this right. I divided the yards by the ounces to see how many yards per ounce (52.5). Then I weighed each strip and added the ounces together to get 6 1/2 oz.
So 52.5 x 6.5= 341.25 yards.

My youngest daughter modeled it because the one I made it for is camera shy. I like the colors. I was so into my knitting that I forgot to take a picture of the purple strip. I knit with blinders on.

Prime Time KAL February!

Well here is my February project. This was my first time reading a chart and I must say it went very well. I did 18 repeats on each half and was only left with a few yards of yarn. Talk about cutting it close. I am hoping to get better pictures when it is finished blocking.

January 2011 Prime Time KAL

This is my first project of the new year and it turned out great. I started to make a medium and had to frog it to make the large instead. It was a lovely pattern and I plan to make several more of her patterns. I did several extra pattern repeats on the sleeves and in the body length to fit a longer torso. Fantastic pattern!
