Entrelac Blanket

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

Do you remember my post last summer when I shared my first Entrelac project (here)? I hinted at a much larger project to come, and I can finally share it with you.

For my cousins recent wedding, I created this gorgeous, cream colored blanket. This was a massive project.  In the early stages, I was able to carry it with me when I went out, but in the end it was too big to take most places.

I did get the opportunity to “test” it on a drizzly Sunday afternoon, after working on it for several hours.  The soft texture of the slightly bulky yarn was a great plus.

I did learn a few things from this project: Continue reading “Entrelac Blanket” →

Wine Bottle Gift Sack

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

Now that Christmas is over, I can start sharing my holiday knitting.  For my aunt I made this wine bottle gift sack. This year I wanted to get her something a little different, so I found a nice bottle of wine from a local winery.  Then I made this wine sack to go with it.

It was a huge hit.  Everyone loved it, and one person (who will remain nameless) threatened to steal it, so I had to promise to make her one.

I began with a free pattern by Emily Stumpf found on Ravelry (here)  This pattern is knitted in the round and features cabled stripes to add a little bit of character.

Happy Knitting

Tutti Fruiti Hat

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

I had enough yarn left from my recent hat to create another hat.

I began with a free pattern by Miriam Pike.  The pattern features a mock cable brim and a classic hat crown.  I promise it does fit my head better than it does my foam head.

The original pattern is available in two different sizes (small and large).  I opted for the larger size.  I did follow the pattern instructions for the brim and body of the hat, but changed the crown.

The original crown is a bit “boxy” for my taste, so changed it up.

Round 1: (K14, k2tog) repeat to end of row
Round 2 and all even rounds: knit
Round 3: (K13, k2tog) repeat to end of row
Round 5: (K12, K2tog) repeat to end of row
Round 7: (K11, K2tog) repeat to end of row
… Continue in this manner until only 6 stitches remain.
Cut yarn, using a yarn needle, run the yarn through the remaining 6 stitches and weave in end.

If you are wanting to create your own hat the pattern can be found here.

Happy Knitting.
