Thinking Fall.

Lace, Shawls/Scarves - Large, Shawls/Scarves - Medium, Shawls/Scarves - Small, SweatersBy lostcityknitsJuly 23, 20104 Comments

Summer in Oklahoma can be brutal. The heat and the humidity are taking the toll on many of our farmer friends. While our field has already been harvested, Chris is working each morning (while the temps are slightly lower) to maintain or reclaim parts of the field, in the afternoon he’s been tackling paperwork or…

Lace, LCK Yarns & Colorways, Shawls/Scarves - MediumBy lostcityknitsJuly 16, 201011 Comments

  I thought since the Emily Dickinson shawl is garter stitch that it’d be a good time to learn to knit Continental. The fastest knitters are usually knitting Continental style. Like Mariam Tegels, she’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. I’m a Thrower, not a Picker – which is what Continental knitters are called.…

Color, yarn and the local-vore connections.

LCK Yarns & ColorwaysBy lostcityknitsJuly 15, 2010

As you can tell, I’m really having fun in the studio lately. But dyeing yarn is also an incredible creative process for me. It allows me to bring the joy of color from the natural world into the fiber world. It’s also work – picking through fleeces and removing cockle burs and other vegetable matter,…

Chestnut and Sherry Update

Lace, LCK Yarns & Colorways, Shawls/Scarves - MediumBy lostcityknitsJuly 13, 2010

I’ve made it past the edging chart and am at the beginning of a long serious of garter stitch, but I love how the Emily Dickinson pattern is knitting up in the silk. The beads don’t show up well in this quick-n-dirty photo but in person they catch just the right amount of light. The…

Fleece to yarn

LCK Yarns & ColorwaysBy lostcityknitsJuly 12, 2010

Friday we were getting ready to load our van for the Saturday Cherry Street Farmers market when the UPS guy opened the back door to the studio and set down two boxes. We thanked him as he left and then turned the top box over to see that it was a shipment from the mill.…

Lace, LCK Yarns & Colorways, Shawls/Scarves - MediumBy lostcityknitsJuly 7, 2010

Like many I’ve long enjoyed the poetry of Emily Dickinson as well as been curious about her life. The sparse beauty of her poetry shows such depth of spirit and emotion. In My Wars Are Laid Away in Books Alfred Habegger sums it up quite well by writing “Dickinson lives for us because she was…

Another Generations –

Generations Scarf/Stole, Lace, LCK Original Designs, LCK Yarns & Colorways, Shawls/Scarves - Large, Shawls/Scarves - SmallBy lostcityknitsJuly 7, 2010

The larger version of the Generations Stole is off the blocking wires! We took advantage of the soft light outside this morning and got a few photos before the expected three days of rain begin. Late last week I pulled out another stole to measure for length. Because I’m only five foot tall I don’t want…

Walking in the Soup Bowl

Life on Clear CreekBy lostcityknitsJuly 6, 2010

Early in the years of which I’ve known this farm I discovered that the fog settles into the North Pasture before it creeps elsewhere onto the farm. The damp air will be so thick that you can’t see into it. The phrase – thick as pea soup comes to mind, although in my mind it’s…

In praise of good tools

Generations Scarf/Stole, Lace, LCK Original Designs, Shawls/Scarves - Large, Shawls/Scarves - SmallBy lostcityknitsJuly 4, 2010

Yesterday at the Farmers Market my friend Amy, came by to say hi and chat a moment. Amy, although a non-knitter understands and appreciates knitting, she likes the fibers, the dyeing and the knitting. Yesterday I discovered she likes the tools too. Whether it’s a well-sharpened hoe for the field and garden, a wicked sharp slicing…

Emily Dickinson and an Oklahoma Sooner History Lesson

Lace, LCK Yarns & Colorways, Shawls/Scarves - MediumBy lostcityknitsJuly 2, 2010

If you’ve been intrigued by the sheer and weightless appearance of the Emily Dickinson Shawldesigned by Kieran Foley there is still time to gather your yarn (only 350 yds) and beads (a mere 273). The Knit-A-Long on Seasons of Lace begins August 7th.The unique construction of this shawl is part of the appeal – it’s…
