Another new pattern: the Sheffield Vest

April 3, 2010 in patterns, vests by Sarah | No comments

The preview is up for Yarn Forward, No. 25 fro June 2010 and with it my Sheffield Vest (Ravelry link):

It is so strange to see it as I didn’t knit the sample or ever even see it — I just sent off a pattern and several months later this is what comes of it.

This is the one I knit for myself:

It was knit with Noro Taiyo (Ravelry link) in colourway 1.

It is one of my favourite hand knit garments.  I like to wear it under one of my other favourites — a grey cardigan (not hand knit, that would be a bit much).

New pictures for the morse code vest

June 21, 2008 in knitting, patterns, sweaters, vests by Sarah | No comments

I have had such a frustrating time photographing this vest. These represent the fourth time we have tried to take good pictures — the last ones were okay, but I think they were too wintery, so here is our latest kick at the can:

The vest is great, but for some reason it hasn’t been easy to photograph well.

If you are interested in buying the pattern, the pattern page is here.

New pattern in the works – Gwen

I have just finished a project from my stash, and I plan to make the pattern available here in the next few weeks, but I thought I might give you a sneak peek at what was coming:

I still need to block it and photograph it properly, so you can get a better idea of what it really looks like.

And just because I love yarn closeups:

  • Fried rice pick me up
    I used to live in China, and there are some things that I still miss, some things I don’t.  One thing that I became very tired of in China, but now miss is fried rice. I went to China without learning any Chinese at all, and I had to rely on others for many things,  including [...] […]
  • Granola
    Granola is one of the things I really like to make.  I made some recently and this particular version is so lovely that I thought I would share: Recipe: 4 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup oat bran 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup dried currants 1/4 cup [...] […]
  • Lemon buttermilk cookies
    One of the most inspiring examples of food writing I have experienced is A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg — and I have since started reading her blog Orangette.  I made these buttermilk cookies with lemon zest cookies from her index of recipes today: They are wholly satisfying — [...] […]
  • Cranberry jam
    I made this cranberry jam recently: It is quite lovely, and simple to make.  I got the recipe from Nigella Lawson’s How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking, and as she says it really is very easy. I think I may make some next year and give it away for Christmas [...] […]
  • Pistachio cookies (recipe coming)
    I made these pistachio cookies a few days ago: My boyfriend says they are like me — not too sweet and a little nutty. Next time I will put them on parchment paper to make sure they don’t get to dark, and make a few more tweaks.  I plan to make them a few more times to [...] […]
