New F.O. :)

Hi again,

I finally finished that pretty raglan cardi I've been alluding to for so long... but haven't sewn the snaps on yet. SOON! I promise :)

In the meantime, I'll distract you with a beautiful triangle scarf I recently finished. The pattern is Silk Garden Kerchief by Kate Gagnon Osborn of Zeitgeist Yarns. It took less than 1 skein each of colorways S252 and S269 of Noro Silk Garden Sock. It was a wonderful project, consisting of mostly garter stitch, and some yarn overs! :) This scarf is currently residing at the shop, so stop in to see it if you're interested in knitting. My mom has some amazing colorways of Silk Garden Sock in stock!! Enjoy the photos. As you can see, this scarf is small-ish, just the perfect size scarf to tuck into your jacket on chilly fall mornings!

Knit on!

Abby

Puzzling Pashmina

When I visited the shop recently, I fell in love with this scarf! It is such a unique knit and the result is positively stunning!

This scarf is knit on size 10 needles, and the yarn Noro Furisode. Visit the shop to see the finished product, and to learn how to knit up this simple, but fabulous pattern!

Done and not-so-done... :)

Hi folks,

I'm plugging away at a beautiful raglan cardi knit out of Noro Cash Iroha. I can't wait to 1) finish it, and 2) show it off to you! I'm so in love with it. I have a long road trip ahead of me, and hope to be finished by the time I pull back into Nashville.

BUT, in the meantime, here's another quick project, perfect for holiday gifting. The pattern is Foliage, featured in the Fall 2007 issue of Knitty. I knit it with 1.3 skeins (exactly!) of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. This yarn is so, so soft, making it perfect for hats and other objects worn close to the skin. Here are some photos...

Malabrigo Slippers

Hi folks,

Look - a correctly-timed FO Friday ;) Today, I'm showing off an adorable pair of slippers that I made a while back using Malabrigo Worsted, which is a beautiful, kettle-dyed, buttery-soft yarn available at The Nest. Just try this yarn, you'll officially be in love.

Anyway, back to the slippers. The pattern is the Plain or Flowery Slippers Pattern by Sarah Hughes. The pattern is very simple, and very quick. I knit these for a dear friend who went through a rough illness recently. I used the Pearl Ten (gray) and Calypso (pink) colorways of Malabrigo Worsted on US 7 needles. My gauge was off, and the pattern technically calls for bulky yarn, so make sure you knit a gauge swatch!

Aren't they adorable??

Until next time - happy knitting!

The Nest Featured in WV Living Magazine!!

We have another exciting announcement! WV Living Magazine is including a wonderful article about Nicky Epstein's recent visit to The Nest in their Fall issue. There are some amazing photos of the shop and the knitters who participated in the day's events (by Clarksburg native Michelle Waters of Michelle Waters Photography). The article was written by Bridgeport's very own Katherine Frederick Hanlon. We are so very excited about this, and hope that you will check out the Fall issue of WV Living Magazine. We are now selling them at The Nest, so stop by to pick one up!

Finished Objects!

Okay, so it's not Friday yet, but I will not be able to post a finished object tomorrow, and I feel so guilty for not sharing an F.O. Friday in so long!! :) So I'm going to post a couple of things I've finished recently, in an effort to make up for it! I've got some really cool projects in the works right now (including a baby blanket made out of Cascade 220 superwash, a gorgeous cardigan out of Noro Cash Iroha, and a shawl made with Silk Garden Sock.) So don't worry, they'll be showing up on here soon...

In the meantime -

These socks are one of my all-time favorite pairs that I've knitted. The pattern is Herringbone Ribbed Socks, from Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn by Carol Sulcoski. This book is chock-full of creative patterns and educational instructions on how to prevent the dreaded pooling and flashing that you sometimes get when knitting with handpainted sock yarns. The yarn used in this project was Cascade Heritage Handpaints, in color #9872, and they were knit on size US 2 needles. I knit these for my husband, and he adores them. He is now begging for more pairs of handknit socks! Here are some photos:

Not too shabby, eh? The pattern is great, and very well written. The yarn was wonderful to work with, and gets softer with each washing. Both the yarn and the book are available at The Nest.

The second project I'm going to feature is a fun, easy, "quickie" of a project. PERFECT for holiday gift knitting, if I do say so myself. This funky, chunky cowl is the Cherry Garcia pattern by Adrian Bizilia. I knit it with 1 skein of Noro Yoroi (color #5), and was so happy with the finished product! This yarn is just plain awesome! The colors are so vivid and the yarn texture is so unique. I won't be able to describe it, you have to feel it to understand :) I started and finished this cowl during a 4 hour road-trip, it doesn't get any better than that, folks!

Here's a photo - it's not the best quality photo ever, but I'll be sending this cowl to The Nest, and it will be featured as a shop model for a while. The Nest has a wide variety of colors of Noro Yoroi available, so feel free to stop in and check this stuff out!

Phew, that was a lot of information! I hope you enjoyed today's projects! Until next time... happy knitting!

Abby

Since we haven't had a FO Friday in forever, here's a little treat for you, even though today is Monday ;) Isn't it just adorable??? The pattern is the Marley hat, from Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson, who is an amazingly creative designer. Itty Bitty Hats is available for purchase at The Nest. The Marley Hat kits are now available at The Nest as well. We are using Takhi Cotton Classic, which comes in a wide variety of colors, to knit this cutie-patootie topper.

Marley Hat Classes are starting next week! Cost is $20 for 2 one-hour sessions.

Tuesdays, September 15th and 22nd, 11:00am

It feels like Friday to me!

Hello again. I will be out of town tomorrow, so I'm posting a new project a little early this week.

But first, I wanted to point out that I've added a slideshow of photos from the recent Nicky Epstein class that was offered at The Nest (look up, just below the calendar!). Nicky was here on July 6, and she taught a class on Beginning Edgings and Knitted Flowers. She also did a bit of book signing while she was here. The photos were taken by Michelle Waters of Michelle Waters Photography in Clarksburg, WV. Aren't they beautiful? Anyway, we appreciate everyone who came out for the class, and especially would like to thank Nicky for being so gracious and fun!

On to my most recent project. I really enjoyed knitting this adorable little gift. It was a present for my boss, who loves funky scarves, and had been dropping hints that she'd love a hand-knitted, but lightweight, scarf to wrap around her neck. After searching high and low for the "perfect" pattern, I found the Eden scarf, by Larissa Brown. The pattern is from Knitalong, a wonderful little book full of fun and simple patterns, many of which are designed to be knit with friends. The book also chronicles the history of the "knitalong" or KAL as they're often called. What I loved most about this book is that it wasn't just a book of patterns. It is full of intriguing stories of friendship, teamwork, and the common goal of getting something knitted! It's a great read, and a great source for simple, thoughtful patterns.

I knit my version of the Eden scarf out of 2 skeins of Noro Silk Garden. The scarf was knit on size US 7 double-pointed needles. I love the way the color transitions in this yarn/pattern combo, resulting in each leaf being a slightly different color than its neighbors. It took no time at all to finish (I'd guesstimate maybe 6-8 hours of knitting time, tops) and is perfect for intermediate beginners. All in all, it was a wonderful project, one that I'd enthusiastically recommend as a quick knitted gift. Here are some photos:

It's Friday already?

Wow, this week has flown by! It's already Friday, which means it's time for me to show off a new project! This week's FO is a scarf knit out of Malabrigo Sock yarn in the Abril colorway. No photos could do justice to the variations of this kettle-dyed colorway, it's just so gorgeous!

The pattern is the Gathered Scarf by Maryse Roudier. I made the following modifications:

• I slipped the first stitch of each stockinette row for a pretty, even selvedge.
• On the decrease row, I ssk 12 times, then k2tog 12 times. (I had read on Ravelry that the scarf started to "lean" a bit to one side when you k2tog across the entire decrease row. This was my effort to avoid that, and I think it worked quite well.)
• I used smaller needles than the pattern calls for. I used US 3 and US 6 needles, while the pattern calls for US 4 and US 7. I liked the density of the fabric better on the smaller needles. However, the scarf is a bit too narrow for an adult (4" unblocked), so looking back I probably should have cast on more stitches to account for the tighter gauge. Turns out that I gave this scarf to my 7-year-old niece for her birthday, so all's well that ends well.

Finished dimensions: 4" wide, 57" long. I only used 80 grams of this yarn, which equals roughly 350 yards. Okay, here are some more photos for your viewing pleasure.

Have a fabulous weekend! I hope it's full of knitterly fun :)

F.O.... Wednesday!!

Hi folks,

I'll be on vacation this Friday, so my finished object posting is coming a little early this week!

These beautiful socks are knit out of Prism Saki (80% merino, 20% nylon) in the Smoke colorway. The pattern is Blackrose by Suzi Anvin, which was featured in the Winter 2008 edition of Knitty. If you've never checked out Knitty before, you're missing out! It's a wonderful resource for beautiful, well-written (FREE) patterns!

Anyway, the Blackrose pattern is fabulous. It is really easy, but the finished product looks so nice! The combination of a simple lace panel and plain stockinette is so pretty.... Take a look! (I've included an in-progress shot that shows just how vibrant the colors are in the Prism Saki.)

Until next time....

F.O. Fridays

Hi everyone,

I suppose I'll take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Abby, I am Diana's daughter, and I have been the person primarily responsible for blog updates. I live and knit in Nashville, TN. My mother taught me to knit when she first opened her shop, but I have been knitting seriously (like, oh, everyday!) for about a year now. I really enjoy challenging myself and learning new techniques. I love sock yarn, and have built up quite a nice stash of it. And while I love to knit socks, I especially enjoy knitting non-sock items with sock yarn (who knew it was so versatile??). When I'm not knitting, I work at Vanderbilt University (conducting research on Autism), and I enjoy hanging out with my husband and our two spoiled dogs, exercising, and the occasional good book.

I am going to try something new with the shop blog - Finished Object Fridays (F.O. Fridays for short). Each Friday, I will post a photo of something I have knitted with yarn purchased at The Nest. I hope to open this forum up to other Nest Knitters, so if you'd like to show off your lovely work, please email photos and a summary (yarn, pattern, etc.) to newsfromthenest@gmail.com

For our first F.O. Friday posting, I'd like to present my newest finished project. It is one that I am extremely excited about - my first lace shawl (it's actually a mini-shawl, a "shawlette"). The pattern is Ishbel, by Ysolda Teague, who is a very creative young knitwear designer. The pattern is wonderfully written, and perfect for the novice lace knitter. And the word on the street is that the shawlette is an up-and-coming trend in the knitting world. :) My shawlette was knit on US 5 24" circular needles, and the yarn is the oh-so-fabulous Malabrigo Sock in the Turner colorway.

So, here are some photos for your viewing pleasure:

Have a great weekend!

Abby

2nd Annual Knit for Life

Phew! It's been a busy couple of months! Please excuse our lack of postings, we've been up to our ears in planning, knitting, spending time with our customers, meeting famous designers, and making it on the news!

Knit for Life

The second annual Knit for Life, held on June 20, was a huge success! Here are the details:

• We collected over 100 hats, all hand-knit by our knitters.
• Mable Somerville alone knitted 40 caps!! She started knitting after last year's event. YOU GO GIRL! You're an inspiration to us all!
• The Nest received an award from Relay for Life for being a sponsor and raising money for this great cause.
• We still need approximately 150 hats to reach our goal of 250. Kits are available in the shop and The Nest will be accepting knitted chemo caps all year long. The recipients of our handknit hats have reported that they provide a great deal of comfort during the worst of times, so help us reach our goal and knit, knit, knit!
• The door prizes, food, grab bags, and tote bags for knitters were a real hit. Special thanks to our sponsors and friends: Harrison County Rotary Club, Dr. Gerardo and Jennifer Lopez, Provence Market Restaurant, Country Peddler, Artworks, Paula Bomhoff, Scott Henderson Stuart McMunn, Brad and Mary Carmichael, Drs. Coonly and Brager, MVB and Larry Mazza.
