On and Off the Needles

November 14, 2006 By Carole

First things first: Mason says thank you for all your wonderful comments on his post. He had no idea you all would enjoy it so much. And he’s rather pleased (or as pleased as a cat gets) that he met so many other dogs and cats of the knitblog community. Of course, from my perspective, the last thing that cat needed was to have people telling him how great he is. There will be no living with him now, you know.

To satisfy your curiosity about Hypotoneuse, I thought you might enjoy seeing some blocking photos.


I’ve got a photo shoot planned for this weekend at a surprise location so you’ll just have to wait until then to see Dale modeling the ManLace. Trust me, though, it’s quite nice. And if you thought it matched Mason’s eyes, well, wait until you see it on my man.

And what’s on the needles now, you ask?

ruffles.jpg

Ruffles from Scarf Style for Hannah. I’m using my handspun. The pattern is boring as hell but the handspun is wonderful and Hannah thinks it’s funky. I’ve got a long way to go but I’m anxious to finish so I can start Knitting Unto Others.

    Great blocking photos. It almost looks like crop fields viewed from an airplane. Okay, so you need your imagination a little 😉

    Well, that is simply stunning. I love the category of “manlace” — I think my little guy would love a small hypoteneuse, but “boylace” sounds illegal. What yarn did you use?

  3. Carol says

    November 14, 2006 at 7:18 am

    Can not wait to see the whole thing! Bet it’s gorgeous! You’re just crankin out the goodies…hi Mason.

  4. Karen says

    November 14, 2006 at 7:24 am

    Can I say it’s lovely when it’s for a man? It is lovely and manly.
    Ruffles is so funky! I love your handspun. It looks so soft in the photo.

  5. Laurie says

    November 14, 2006 at 7:27 am

    That was a very fast hypoteneuse. Love the yarn.

  6. margene says

    November 14, 2006 at 7:42 am

    Hypoteneuse looks wonderful in the pictures. It can only be more so on the man.

    ManLace!! Caused a cereal snort!

  8. Chris says

    November 14, 2006 at 8:27 am

    What fun patterns! I especially love the the ruffles. I’m soon to start a scarf in my Mango Tango rambo/angora handspun and I’m thinking that could be a good pairing.

    Ooh, that hypotenuse looks incredible! I bet that fabric has a wonderful drape. I can’t wait to see it.

  11. Kim says

    November 14, 2006 at 8:38 am

    Beautiful shots of hypotenuse. My God, I haven’t said or written that word in twenty-five years!

    Hugs to Mason, and love the scarf. It’s a teenager’s delight, indeed!

  12. amanda says

    November 14, 2006 at 8:45 am

    Hypotenuse is lovely. Manly and wonderful and the color you chose is perfect. I wonder if I could get my man to wear one…

  13. Kim says

    November 14, 2006 at 8:47 am

    Man Lace….hahaha!! A man who wears manlace is a confident man :-)! Blocked out this scarf is just lovely!

    Your new scarf is such a fun looking little scarf.

  14. Mindy says

    November 14, 2006 at 8:54 am

    The manlace is gorgeous and I love the handspun.

  15. susan says

    November 14, 2006 at 9:28 am

    Beautiful scarves!
    I made Ruffles for my Hannah and after finally getting the damn thing off the needles (talk about endless knitting), she never wore it. And so it goes. *sigh*

  16. hillary says

    November 14, 2006 at 9:31 am

    I can’t wait to see the Hypoteneuse photo shoot. In the pictures above it’s got a really architectural feel.

  17. a says

    November 14, 2006 at 9:41 am

    The man lace is gorgeous. So, now you’ve gone and done it… gotten another thing into my queue. I’m gonna have to hire help.

    I also enjoyed the cat’s post, just didn’t make time to comment…

  18. Laura says

    November 14, 2006 at 9:46 am

    Wow! Hypo is awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing it modeled!

  19. Judy says

    November 14, 2006 at 9:49 am

    I love it. Ordering it today.

  20. Norma says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:00 am

    Ooohh, I’m loving the handspun ruffles. Very cool that Hannah thinks it’s funky.

    That Hypotenuse is COOL too. You really are cranking out the FOs!

  21. blogless sharon says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:08 am

    I just love those ruffles

  22. --Deb says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:19 am

    Blocking photos are ALWAYS good! And the scarf? Adorable result, even if it’s no fun to knit . . .

  23. Kirsten says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:39 am

    Hi Carole! I’ve got the yarn I promised for your Knit Unto Others Giveaway. Let me know where to send it.
    Lovely Hypotoneuse and Ruffles!

  24. Teyani says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:39 am

    Hypoteneuse is wonderful. Man-lace.. cool. I bet my guy would wear something as wonderful as that too. I look forward to seeing it modeled.

  25. Katy says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:44 am

    ManLace–hee hee.
    I actually liked knitting Ruffles–if you learn to knit backwards it goes more quickly AND makes it more interesting. (or maybe you are already doing that and are still bored silly. 😉

  26. Lucia says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:54 am

    Love the hypotenuse! Geometry was my favorite branch of math, i.e. the only one I didn’t flunk. I am in awe of your handspun.

    Tell Mason the Gang of Five say hi and they’d be happy to take him down a peg any time he needs it.

  27. Liz says

    November 14, 2006 at 11:15 am

    Hypoteneuse is on my list of must-knits… so I did appreciate the blocking photos… fabulous!

  28. Beth S. says

    November 14, 2006 at 12:04 pm

    You’re doing Hypotenuse! YAY! And I have plans for a Ruffles or two myself… I never get tired of that fabulous scarf. It’s a classic. A new classic. 😉

    Mason, BTW, is gorgeous. King of all he surveys, I have no doubt. 😉

  29. Jess says

    November 14, 2006 at 12:09 pm

    Man-lace, hehehehe ;o)

    It looks great!

    (loved the Mason post!)

  30. ann says

    I love the man lace Carol!

  31. Cookie says

    November 14, 2006 at 12:19 pm

    Mason knows he’s fab. Trust me. Cats are all ego. /cat slave

    It’s lovely. Can’t wait to see it on Dale. 😀

  32. Kristi aka Fiber Fool says

    November 14, 2006 at 12:38 pm

    I can’t wait for the official photo shoot. That looks great!

    Ruffles is indeed a very good choice for handpsun too I think. It is funky and different, but allows the handspun to shine! Hmmm… I wonder if I have enough handspun of anything to knit that withat… I see a stash dive in the near future…

  33. MJ says

    November 14, 2006 at 1:17 pm

    I love the manlace in that understated color. I think the geometry of the pattern is what makes it more masculine, whereas “feminine” patterns are more freeform. Anyway, like everyone I’m looking forward to the pictures!

  34. Alison says

    November 14, 2006 at 1:28 pm

    The hypoteneuse is very handsome!

  35. Adam says

    November 14, 2006 at 1:34 pm

    I’m very interested to see the man-lace in action…the blocking photos look great!

  36. ~Kristie says

    November 14, 2006 at 1:36 pm

    I can’t WAIT to see it on Dale! I wonder if my husband would like it?

    I was thinking of making my neices the ruffle scarf. You make it sound like it’s a perfect “stand in a line at the store” knit, but is it taking a long time to make?

  37. Stephanie says

    November 14, 2006 at 2:22 pm

    Nice blocking pictures – I can’t wait to see the photo shoot. The ruffles scarf looks great in your handspun. That scarf has been on my list for awhile, but I just never manage to get around to it.

  38. Birdsong says

    November 14, 2006 at 2:30 pm

    ManLace, huh? Do you think this is a concept that will take hold, or just a way to make the nice ones like Dale feel a part of our obsession? You could consider writing a book….

  39. Vicki says

    November 14, 2006 at 2:37 pm

    Oh, that looks so cool… like architecture or something!

  40. Kelly says

    November 14, 2006 at 3:06 pm

    Great blocking photos. Can’t wait for the photo shoot!

  41. jillian says

    November 14, 2006 at 3:12 pm

    I know it’s ManLace and everything, but I really like it! I’m partial to more geometric lace over intricate, feminine lace in general so not a suprise.

    Interesting how such an difficult looking pattern is so boring to knit!

  42. Kathleen says

    November 14, 2006 at 3:14 pm

    oooh….can’t wait to see more of the man lace.

  43. Cynthia says

    November 14, 2006 at 6:01 pm

    I love the ManLace! Actually the knitting is wonderful but I gotta say I LOVE the whole idea of ManLace…I love it! Oh and the Ruffles pattern is so incredibly f***g boring but that handspun is so incredibly gorgeous Carole! Wow.

  44. Susan says

    November 14, 2006 at 7:09 pm

    I love the blocking photos! Hannah is right, that’s going to be a funky, cool scarf!

  45. hpny knits says

    November 14, 2006 at 9:07 pm

    i don’t know whats more gorgeous, the scarf or the photos. I love your architectural view of it. it is , after all, about a geometric item. fab!!

  46. Rachel says

    November 14, 2006 at 10:27 pm

    Your handspun seems to suit Ruffles very well! I hope it goes quickly for you — I seem to recall thinking I would never finish mine.

    Nice blocking photos, too!

  47. Chris says

    November 15, 2006 at 9:08 am

    My stepmom’s cats were Mason and Dixie. 🙂

    Very intriguing re: the Man Lace!

  48. Monica says

    November 15, 2006 at 11:02 am

    Looking forward to seeing Man Lace modeled. Your Ruffles is looking lovely in your handspun.
