Ravelry Roundup- 5/17/11

I know I've fallen a couple weeks behind in roundup-world.  Here's what's been catching my eye the past couple weeks:






Mrs. Knitsallday's Felted Bag by Nancy Basch


The Luxury Shawl by Catherine Earnshaw

Dolman Sleeve Sweater by Claire Montgomerie

The Jan Sweater by Just Call Me Ruby

Paulie by Isabel  Kraemer

Astrachan by Darlene Hayes

Camille by Meghan Jackson

Ok, I know there are some other awesome new patterns out there that I missed- what are you itching to knit these days?


Ravelry Roundup: 5/2/11


Stranded knitting- gets me every time (and bonus, it's free!).

Kitty Pants by Kristine Jorskogen

These just make me giggle a little- so cute I couldn't help but throw them in.

Milanese Lace Topper by Tante Ehm

Love the hat, love the photo even more.

Winterberry Shrug by Lisa Sisk
Just a pretty little thing.

Pauline Stole by Franklin Habit
Gorgeous, but no surprise coming from the Panopticon.

Lintel by Cecily Glowik MacDonald

Loved watching all the O-Wool beauties pop up this week.  Was particularly drawn to the simplicity here in Lintel.

Milano by Agnes Kutas-Keresztes

Ahh... I love Milan, good enough!

I'm sad to admit that I did not get to view all the new patterns this week- crazy week, little time for knitting/browsing.  May need to play catch up next week!


Ravelry Roundup- 4/25/11

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.  I'm back to kick off a fresh week with a new Ravelry Roundup.  Through your comments I learned that there is another blog that recaps Ravelry finds.  Falling Stitches posts a Ravelry- What's Hot list that is so much fun to see.  Make sure you hop on over to see Ariane's list each week. See the similarites and the differences!



This beauty just popped up last night.  I can't decide whether I like the back or front more, so you get two pictures of it.  I didn't want anyone to miss out on either view.

Mock Cable Slouchy Hat by Judith Mueller

I've told you before that I have a hard time resisting a good slouch- this hat fits the bill.

Seamless Blue by Felicia Semple

Although not available quite yet, the pattern description states that the free pattern will be posted at the beginning of May- not too much longer!

Deco by Kate Davies

I fell in love with this cardigan months ago when Kate first posted it on her blog. It's amazingly perfect, and if I knit a sweater for myself anytime in the near future, this will be the one.

Norwegian Ljus Socks by Nancy Bush

There's just something so right about little knit figures dancing on heels.

Parasol Shawlette by Derya Davenport
Wear it as a shawlette, wear it as a scarf.  This pattern has a lot of versatility. I'm so happy I hound this because I used to follow Derya's blog and it was one of my favorites.  Here I thought she stopped blogging, turns out my Google Reader was no longer picking up her posts.  I have some catching up to do now!


Heartwarmer by Bley Hack
And just because every roundup must have it's share of baby cuteness- how about this number?  Looks like it would be fun and quick, I love how different/old fashion it feels.

Any newbies that popped out to you this past week?

Ravelry Roundup - 4/18/11

So I've made a decision about the Ravelry Roundup.  It will be a Monday post... mainly because I have such a hard time posting on Mondays!  Since this is something I work on throughout the week, it kind of gives me a 'bloggy freebie' so to speak.  Remember - you can find past roundups here (under my 'links' tab). 


Vagabond Fingerless Mitts by Misa Erder

We all know that I love me some colorwork, these mitts fit the bill!

Ayano by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark
This shawl proves that knitting doesn't go out of style- even in the summer months!

Ridge and Furrow Cowl by Sue Grandfield
One of the first projects I ever made was a navy blue hat with rainbow colors- I can't help but be in love with this cowl.


Gramps Cardigan and Slouch by Kate Oates
You remember when  posted about the baby Gramps Cardigan?  Well Kate has sized it up to adult size and paired it with a perfectly slouchy hat.  I fell in love with the hat as soon as I saw it. I've got my pattern and yarn- will hopefully be casting on soon!

Perspective by Hanneke Sieben
Another perfect summer knit- time to get rid of the fair-weather knitters!

Owl Diaper and Wipe Case by Melissa Schaschwary
I love this idea.  We all know I will be dealing with diapers for a goodish amount of time. Why not throw them in a cute knitted case?

Battle-Weary Dragon Shawl by Mandyz Moon
Light and airy, and the perfect tone of grey.

Camilla Kid by Carrie Bostick Hoge
Precious... need I say more?

Narragansett by Thea Coleman
Lovely!  And in my favorite (Plucky) yarn.

Rock Island by Jared Flood

We all know Jared Flood has an eye for gorgeous- this shawl does not disappoint.

Make Up Your Mind by Julie Crawford
Racer back, playing with texture- I'm sure this would be a very excting tank to knit up.  No boring stockinette to worry about here!

Zig by Jen Hintz
This is just fun- totally intrigued by the construction.


Twined Knitting Mittens by Maschas Maschen
Who doesn't need some fancy mittens?  Knit them now and save them for the first fall breeze.


Ok... favorites?  Any that flew below the radar this week?  Share them below!

Ravelry Roundup- 4/6/11

Hopefully I didn't scare you when I didn't post a Ravelry Roundup last week.  Even though my queue grows to a size that is incompletable in this lifetime, I still enjoy seeing all the new designs that come out week to week.  Without further ado, I present the roundup for this week:



Another new deisgner to me, but after glancing through her designer page on Ravelry, she is now added to my favorites.  So many cute knits for kids!  Also- look at that beautiful hand dyed yarn.  You guessed it, none other than my sponsor this month, Tanis Fiber Arts!

Abbi: Shawl Collar Cardigan by Elizabeth Smith
Add another blog to my Google Reader- it seems I love the work of the Brown Stitch, too!


Gertruda by Gosia Bukowska
A little classic cardi to wear everyday (for some reason- it seems way more acceptable to wear a cardi over and over.  Pullover?  Not allowed!  There's something magical that happens when you add buttons to the front!). 

Jeweled Cowl by Sachiko Uemura
I have never knit with beads- this cowl makes me want to try it out.

Rosy Baby Booties by Julia Noskova
Hello, cuteness!  Anyone have any upcoming baby showers?  That's right... I do!

Thao by Melinda VerMeer
The texture, the lace, the colorway- a must-knit!

Windsor Cardi and Strafford both by Amy Cristoffers

I've said it once- I'll say it again:  this girl can design!

You wouldn't be allowed to wear it everyday (see above), but that doesn't mean it wouldn't get a ton of wear in my wardrobe.

Blue Daisy by Hilary Smith Callis
The new Twist Collective was recently released.  A perfect evening break is making myself a cup of tea and sitting down to click through a new Twist Collective.  They have the best patterns/styling.  In other news, Hilary just had a little baby boy- congrats to the whole Yarniad family!

Quintet by Melissa Wehrle
Another Twist Collective gem.  In TC, they have a thin purple belt around the waist- too perfect.

Barely a Pattern Infinity Scarf by Andrea Marquis
I originally saw this in person at Knit Michigan- what fun to see it pop up on Ravelry (Don't you just love those Jul Silver Pedestal Buttons?!?). 

Spring Ribbed Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Shorter sleeves, open front, plus... you can wear it everyday (see above)!  I could definitely get some use out of this in my spring wardrobe (this and about any other design from knitbot).

And there's your roundup.  Thoughts?  Favorites?  What's been added to your queue?
