Yes, that’s another pair of socks! Three for the year, these have been done for a couple weeks, I just kept forgetting to get a picture…though the one above is weird, it looks like the sock is loose on my left foot but really they fit perfectly. So, now its time to move on to […]
I still can’t believe it! I knit all the way through sections 3 and 4 on my On The Spice Market shawl. As I wrote out the instructions for sections 5 and 6….I discovered a massive error in my transcribing! In three places in section 4 I wrote – and knit – kfb – when […]
Started the fabulous On The Spice Market shawl on March 4th…section 3 hand me confused until I just started knitting it, wow…! The yarn is Hippo for Mardi Gras 2018, plus the minis that go with it, on 3.25mm needles. I’m not sure I like all the garter stitch that is coming off the needles […]
My best man decided we should do brunch at the suggestion of a co-worker. Griffin Tavern in Flint Hill….was awesome! The staff was warm and wonderful, the food was creative and executed perfectly and the site itself was really nice. If the weather had been better we could have eaten outside, there is also a […]
Progress… My Sandhurst Pullover is done and worn! It only took about 4 weeks to knit…on and off. But, since I finished in winter…catching a bit of bright daylight to weave in ends was scarce so took a bit more time to actually be wearable than I would have liked. The yarn is so soft. […]
NYC daughter’s mitts are finished. I could say I planned the color patterning this way…but, miraculously the yarn decided to fade from dark to light in just the right way for the second one so they are almost identical. They are snug on me, so will fit my mini-me perfectly! I made this pattern up, […]
NYC Daughter’s latest request is finger-less mitts. I just happen to have the perfect yarn left over from my best man’s ear warmers….all but the thumb done on the first, cuff started on the second. Project page on Ravelry here… Still working on a pair of socks, kept in the car of course! Blocked my […]
This first pair of 2018 is out of what I consider my vanilla sock pattern (below)…I think every knitter has their own go to, this one is mine. I really enjoyed knitting this pair out of Old Oak Yarns in their Hardwood Sock Base, 75/25, 100g – 453, 32g remain for darning or some other […]
Busy week! Lots of non-knitting work happened….real life sometimes gets in the way. Lots of knitting happened. Two finished objects, progress on finishing an object and knitting, knitting, knitting! These two ear warmers were finished for my best man! He loves them and wore the gray one today. My Sandhurst sweater has been almost done […]
