Hercules
 
 
Mighty Hercules,
this strong muscular hero
is a real softy.
 

On kids, anything looks great — even intarsia cartoon characters.

I found this Phildar pattern at the French ebay site. French grandmothers must have real knitting skills to knit these for kids.

Loop Stitch Jacket Haiku

Loop Stitch Knit
The leaning tower
is a very old building.
My sweater’s older.

Or maybe this hand knit sweater just looks older!

That furry loop stitch is actually a bit tedious to knit. You need to hold the loops rather evenly as you form the stitches. So, unlike the ratty worn looking sweaters you can knit quickly and easily using lion brand fun fur or other novelty yarns, this one is difficult.

Is it worth the extra effort?

From Adriafil

Shlepping Around

Shlepping…


Shlepping stuff around
requires special purpose clothes.
This outfit will do.

 

This item from Adriafil caught my eye. Maybe it looks more atttractive in real life, but somehow, that lace fringe looks awfully floppy there. And couldn’t the photographer have posed the model to look a big more dynamic?

Oh well… It’s not as though hand knitters might hope to look elegant when stepping out to buy groceries. :)
