What’s a knitter to do…? Finished the linen LoveNote (as in, the actual knitting is done…however fading required some yarn management and now there are ENDS to weave in <sigh> so many ENDS!) and I.can’t. stand.it. The only thing on the needles are my purse/tv socks. Swatch time! I have the absolutely dreamy Debbie Bliss […]

Each round is 576 stitches…so completing the two passes is O.M.G. 1152 stitches……what? Next challenge will be after the short rows to add back the points to the […]
Read MoreThe brioche section’s inc/dec for the star’s ‘peaks and valleys’ was just too open. So….knit rip knit rip…..redesigned….alternating colors C and D, created short row sections to even out the circle. With color C or D, pick up stitches from one point to the next so RS maintains k stitches, initial sections requires an additional […]
Read MoreJanuary gnomes are finished and so much fun! Taller gnome has 4 beads at the point of the hat and a crocheted snowflake decoration. Smaller gnome’s hat is missing the two duplicate pattern repeats, braids instead of a beard and joined hands. Thinking about February….
Read MoreWinter’s arrival gives me more knitting time! I’m a knitter, I’ve trained for this….so true! January Gnome #2 has half a hat! Mike loves apple pie….proper crust to fruit ratio, of course – SMH. For someone who doesn’t cook he likes to be really opinionated about what he eats, I just roll my eyes! Baker […]
