To wrap up the summer, May's stunning ZigZag tank (from Marianne Isager's Classic Knits . I love how she did it in stripes. May, you're so cool!

May's beautiful version of Kim Hagreaves' Frolic (from Rowan 29). She followed former fellow Knitsmith Kerstin's genius idea of using varying shades of Koigu to make this fabulous little tank. The result is awesome!

May's d-cable sweater (from a Japanese knitting magazine) is so amazing! She knit it in Classic Elite Lush so it's super soft. Those cables across the top look complicated, but she swears that the sweater is simple to knit: "it's just two rectangles."

May's beautiful Jasmine top by Kim Hargreaves.

May is using Noro sock yarn to make this gorgeous crocheted scarf. The crochet pattern (which she found here) shows off the beautiful Noro colors so well!

May's new Winter Wonderland coat (from the book Inspired to Knit: Creating Exquisite Handknits ). Click on the pic for a larger view. It's stunning! Who knew that Cascade Ecological wool could look so good! You're amazing, May.

This week, across the table, I spotted one of May's most fabulous knits, the Sand Dollar sweater dress from Alice Starmore's The Children's Collection . She started making this for her daughter a couple of years ago and has lengthened the sleeves so she can finally wear it.

It's simply gorgeous!

Manon mania has hit the Knitsmiths!
May knit two! This is her scond one, which she knit with Peace Fleece. She knit the first in Elann Peruvian wool for her sister (see some pics on her blog.)
May started knitting Manon when she first saw Nancy making one. Here's Nancy's. It's gorgeous, but didn't fit Nancy quite right, so she gave it to May. And now Nancy's making another one for herself!

May just finished Nora Gaughan's Veil wrap from her second pattern book. She substituted Noro Silk Garden and Kidsilk Haze for the ribbon yarn the pattern calls for.
And look, you can wear it the other way 'round too!
May makes the coolest things!
january 2007
Look, May wore her Gryffindor lion sweater!
january 2007
May has done it again - she's brought in a finished project that we all just want to snatch up and run out the door with! This time it's her fake-a-gamo purse.
She found the pattern here, modified it a tiny bit, and added some awesome handles from M&J Trimming. And it's just as stunning on the inside...
(Check out her new blog for a little purse lining tutorial!)

May came back this week! And she was wearing one of her incredible Starmore sweaters.
She's been working on her third Bergere de France lace camisole (check her archives for more info on her first two).

But wait, there's two of them!
Heraldic lion sweaters for her girls. I'm speechless.

May's at it again. She loves this lace camisole pattern.
She made an orange one last year, recently finished this yellow one, and is holding the beginnings of a third.
(And don't you just LOVE her pants?!)
june 2005
May's making a stunning striped tank in some Fiorina cotton yarn that she got on sale at a good yarn.
It's a racerback tank. Woooooo!
june 2005
May stopped by this week in her just finished Corset Pullover from Interweave Knits Spring 2003 (free pattern can be found here). Not only is May an amazing knitter, she always looks amazing in her knits.
august 2004
It looked like kids' day today at Knitsmiths. May's daughter and Nina's girls were all working on knitting projects.
A lovely, fluffy boa scarf (it's on size 35 needles!).
And the youngest girl was doing finger crochet. Neato!

I spy with my little eye... May in yet another beautiful tank.

An amazing (and very complex, believe me!) lace camisole from Bergere de France. C'est fantastique!
april 2004
May's working on the most fabulous little lacy camisole from a recent Bergere de France catalog. May's is coming out so beautifully, I have a feeling a few of us may be knitting these Bergere de France patterns. Plus, I'm having too much fun translating them!
april 2004
May's latest creation - the Pinup Pullover from Interweave Knits Spring 2003. May's knits are impeccable and she always looks so good in them. Yay, May!
