Speaking of creative modifications, this week I get to present another radical transformation. I took a large rectangular lace shawl and transformed into a skirt! The original shawl is worked in a lace pattern and a lace weight mohair-silk yarn. The knitted fabric is quite wide and somewhat long, it also features great elasticity in…
The Stitching Experiments Project continues with another creative modification. This one in particular is one of my absolute favorites in this series. For this modification, I did something new: I took two separate pieces and combined them together to make a one of a kind scarf. The first piece I used, a short round cowl,…
Switching from hats to scarfs again, this week I am talking about the Pumpkin Reversible Scarf. The main body of the original cowl is worked in the round a simple knitted 2×2 ribbing pattern. It is made out of a bulky merino yarn in a bright orange color. The knitted fabric has significant elasticity and…
The last hat that I worked on for the S.E.P. is the Grey Silver Hat. The main body of the hat is worked in the round in a textured ribbing pattern with slipped stitches. It is a very simple design, worked in a DK weight yarn in a blend of luscious alpaca and merino held…
In this post I will be talking about transforming the only crochet hat in the group of completed samples I received for the Stitching Experiments Project.

The next project in the S.E.P. project is a hat that challenged me in several ways. The main body of the hat is originally worked in the round in a subtle cabled pattern. The lower edge is worked on a simple 1×1 ribbing with twisted knit stitches. The yarn used is a sport weight fuzzy…
Moving on to the next project of the Stitching Experiments Project (S.E.P.), another fuzzy scarf got (slightly) transformed. The original scarf was a skinny and long rectangular scarf. The main body is worked in a feather and fan type lace pattern in a dark red fingering weight yarn in what feels like Alpaca fiber. The…
The first project of the Stitching Experiments Project (S.E.P.) completed, is the Pleated Cloud Scarf. Soft, fuzzy, super light and with a wonderful drape, this scarf caught my eye as soon as I saw it. Luckily, I also got an exciting idea on how to modify not long after that! The original scarf is made…
