Mock Braided I-Cord Edging

August 29, 2007 Knitting - General

Celtic Braid

August 26, 2007 Knitting - General

So, in my last post, I told ya’ll that I was going to do some experimenting. The inspiration came from Eunny Jang’s Tangled Yoke Cardigan pattern from Interweave Knits, Fall 2007. Gorgeous isn’t it? Here is my version of the Celtic Braid; I was going to see if there was a way that I could [...]

Me no likey!!

August 17, 2007 Knitting - General

First of all, thank you all so much for the support regarding my last post. It is so ridiculous that I am actually laughing right now.
