A few photos of my Orbital Ornaments along the way! They really took over for awhile, there.
Tonight (Tuesday November 12) I’ll be at the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitter’s Guild, speaking about designing accessories and using spreadsheets! Plus I’ll have Astrosocks, a really cool effort to send handknit socks into space. Come say hi and knit a few stitches on them if you’re in the area, won’t you?
New pattern day! I’ve been working hard on these little guys for ages, and I am SO HAPPY to share them with you for this crafting holiday season. (Yes, I said it.)
I really, really, especially love the rocket.
Celebrate the season (any season) with these fun, nontraditional ornaments! These space-themed ornaments work up quickly and are great for your stash of sock yarn leftovers, in all sorts of colours. They would also make a great baby mobile or playtime toys. Embroidered initials would be lovely for personalized gifts – embellish to your heart’s desire. All of the Orbital Ornaments are worked in the round on double pointed needles.

CO 3, BO 5. This is going to take awhile.
(Yarn is a fyberspates silk/cashmere, yarn is my Wychwood shawl with a lace edging instead of seed stitch and a picot bind off.)
