Sew Wrong

Anthropologie Capelet, or The Project I Never Posted From 2008

I was going through my dresser the other day, transitioning my wardrobe from warm weather to cold, and I found a sweater I never mentioned or took pictures of from 2008.

Anthropologie Inspired Capelet

From what I remember, I made up this capelet in one night using my US 17 needles and about two – three balls of Rowan Big Wool. The pattern was part of a discussion on Craftster back in 2005 (when Craftster wasn’t overloaded with crap like it is now) and inspired by an overpriced capelet from Anthropologie’s 2005 winter catalog. I did mine in stockinette instead of reverse stockinette, decided to build up the neckline a little, and added a loop closure with a bit of i-cord and a vintage button.

Debbie Bliss Lace Scarf WIP

I thank this scarf for finally getting my knitting mojo back. All it took was a trip to a few local yarn stores, fondling some skeins of yarn, and I was wondering why I wasn’t inspired to knit for the past five months. Add in a simple lace scarf pattern that only requires two balls of yarn and knits up on size 9 needles, and I had a cure to my knitting blues! This pattern is knitting up super quick, and I anticipate finishing it in the next week or so.

One down, almost done with the second. These should keep my hands warm on that chilly steering wheel early in the morning.
