Wisteria finished
Posted in Dale of Norway, Family, Finished Objects 2010 on January 12, 2010 | 8 Comments »
Well, I finished Wisteria by Kate Gilbert from the Fall 2008 Twist Collective. I used Cascade 220 that I got on sale at Webs May tent sale (or around that time). I absolutely love the way that Cascade feels. It’s pretty soft and isn’t itchy. I’ve also been working on that quilt that I mentioned [...]
Whistler’s Body
Posted in Dale of Norway, Knitting on July 17, 2009 | 7 Comments »
I’ve finally got the body of Whistler completed. Mostly completed, I guess. I have some duplicate stitching to do still. For example, I need to put blue on the top of the maple leaf. I started on the first sleeve already. Jody may be able to wear this for the upcoming winter after all. UGG [...]
A half of the year is over
Posted in Dale of Norway, Knitting on June 30, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Where has the time gone? Here’s my progress on Whistler: It’s a little “clumpy” at the bottom part of the color work and I’m hoping that will block out. This is a lot more difficult than the last Dale of Norway sweater I did. You can’t really tell but there is black, blue and white [...]

Pattern: Dale of Norway 125th Anniversary Sweater Yarn: Dalegarn Falk in Black, White & Red Needles: US 3 for hems & US 5 for body Notes: It’s DONE! I truly expected this to be a lot more difficult than it was. There were a couple things that really would have tripped me up if I hadn’t been [...]

Duplicate duplicate stitch stitch
Posted in Dale of Norway, Knitting on October 4, 2007 | 6 Comments »
I don’t know about you, but I thought that the instructions given the for using duplicate stitch on the sleeves and on the front part of my Dale of Norway sweater was genius. Instead of carrying around an unused color you go back later and using duplicate stitch you embroider the correct color stitch on [...]
Sleeves

I’ve been almost doing my DON sleeves two at a time. I’ve been working on one and then the other but not on one set of needles. I do have the first of the sleeves done: The sleeve are knit from the bottom up. On the second one I have finished the wide black and [...]
Taking a DON break
Posted in Dale of Norway, Knitting, Miscellaneous on September 5, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I’m taking a DON break but just until Monday’s class. I’ll be starting on the sleeves that day. I want to get more work done on my Tilted Duster in the meantime. Yes, I have finished up to the shoulders. I still have to do the duplicate stitching on the center front to finish out [...]
Don Neckline
Posted in Dale of Norway, Family, Knitting on September 1, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I’m just starting the neck line on the DON sweater (4 rows past where I was when this picture was taken). This is coming along a whole lost faster than I thought it would. This is where I should have stopped and waited for the rest of the class to catch up but I can’t [...]
