The Amazing Adventures of the Kelly-Green Rogue

Mason Dixon Hand Towel

My first finished knit of 2007. Started in August of 2006 (I think). Hand towel from Mason Dixon Knitting. I used some sort of cotton from a large cone, no idea on the brand. Finished measurements 15×19. A little too wide and not quite long enough but it works. I was running low on yarn and didn’t’ want to risk starting another pattern repeat without being able to finish it.

Calorimetry

From the winter issue of Knitty. Third time was the charm with this one. The first time I frogged it I was almost done when I realized I had misread the pattern. The second time I was almost done when I realized I need to go down needle size. Ugh! But I loved it!
Patons SWS in 70013, Natural Earth, on size 7 Addi Turbos. Started Jan 25th Finished Jan 26th.

Button finally sew on in the first week of February. So now officially done!

Given away as a gift.

Calorimetry Two

This one was a birthday gift for Robin. I picked blue for her to bring out her pretty blue eyes.

Carons Simply Soft Shadows knit on size 7 Addi Turbos.

Calorimetry Three

This one I’m keeping for myself. Lamb’s Pride Worsted, I’m not sure of the color. A pretty green I’ve had in my stash that I got on clearance a while back. Knit on size 7 Addi Turbos. Completed around the end of January.

Anthropologie Caplet

Wicked

Cast on Jan 23rd or around there. Knit until joining under the arms at which point I decided it was too big, and started completely over. Also frogged back 5 inches after realizing I didn’t like my decreases. It seems like this took forever, but I really wasn’t working on it all the time. I really love this sweater!

• Cast On: May 17th
• Weaving in : May 21st
• Needles : Used Knitpicks Size 11 (pattern calls for 13)
• Yarn : Sinfonia, double stranded
• Mods : a LOT. Used a different needle size because I didn’t have the one the pattern called for. Picked up less stitches, only knit one round between YO rounds. Did one more repeat of the lace pattern between the purl sections. Didn’t add ruffle.
