After two failures, it was time to try again. Like the previous two mittens, this pair was made using Suzy’s Addi Pro Mittens Tutorial. This pair were made from double-strands of Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool and KnitPicks Stroll fingering yarn … Continue reading

Addi Express Mittens!
I used Suzy’s Addi Pro Mittens Tutorial; the process looked a lot easier than socks. (But, let’s face it, socks aren’t at all tough once you figured them out!) My first attempt was done double-stranding Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool in … Continue reading

Flat Pack in Chocolate
Smaller, fidgety, fiber arts tools need their own safe place, especially if one is inclined to haul them around. On the spur of the moment, I pulled out the last of my favorite chocolate quilting fabric, and made a little … Continue reading

Addi Socks 97/98 and 99/100
For Addi socks 97 and 98, I doubled the essentially fingering-weight International Yarns Infusions. These rank among my favorites so far, and were easy to knit; the yarn is just a little bit heavier than fingering yarn, and, doubled, is … Continue reading

Addi Socks 93 and 94
This pair is the result of casting onto the Addi Express for the 93rd and 94th times. These look purple in my monitor, but they are actually shades of burgundy and dusty rose. And they are the first pair I’ve … Continue reading

A Pair of Socks on the Addi Express
Finally, a matching pair of Addi-knit socks! Here are the results of my 78th and 80th casting-ons. (Number 77 was a bust. Sigh.) There’s still a lot to learn — among other things, I think the tension isn’t exactly the … Continue reading

Mixed Double-Strand Socks on the Addi Express
For my next experiment, I used Lion Brand Wool Ease (a wool/acrylic blend) in forest green heather, with a blue Marage 4 ply fingering yarn (which came as sample yarn with a weaving loom. The Wool Ease is approximately the … Continue reading
