Work in Progress Wednesdays


Not too much on the needles right now.  The first is a linen towel I’m doing for me to use in my kitchen.  So instead of lace it is stockinette but with a contrast border (eventually) at the top and bottom in a mosaic pattern. 


I’m also starting to work on the design of a aran sweater for the masters program.  So I have lots of swatches of cables.  These are some of my favorites.

Saxon Braid

XOXO Cable


Coin Cable


 I got lazy and didn't take the pictures in the best light.  Not sure yet which ones I will use.

This will be a long project in the making.  Hopefully it won’t be too many Wednesdays before there is something taking shape.


For great fiber works in progress, head over to Tami's.

  1. I think the Saxon cable is my favourite, it always looks so intricate and impressive :) You're really tempting me to make linen towels for my kitchen now!

  2. I agree - I like the Saxon cable best but as someone who hasn't cabled before I think all of them look very impressive!

  3. I love the idea of a mosaic pattern at the bottom of a towel to make it more interesting. Mostly because I'm nuts at fair isle, but still. So pretty!

    I used the XOXO cable to make fingerless gloves for a friend who always signs her name with it. :)
