It looks like I’m having fun with this…SMH. Thinking about March….leprechaun….green….hmmm. Working the brioche section of Starflanket with colors A and B….feels like it is taking forever. 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 MoreFinished these three Miettes, May 20 – June 13! Still have to weave in the ends, but wow! Of course, by the time #3 was mostly done I had made some minor alterations that made the knitting lay smoother on the edges and makes me want to go back and redo #1, except that I […]
Read More11 days! Woohoo! My own pattern, made up on the fly based on a recipe from The Knitters Handbook of Top Down Sweaters. Had just enough yarn (some random – really soft – acrylic found in my stash w/ no ball bands) for the cuffs to match the hem with 7g left. So happy. Now […]

It’s been a busy 5 months! Where do I start?! Well, how about with finished objects? Knit some more socks… I’ve just about finished a Tegna from some nice raspberry colored cotton, the back is done on another Deschain in green linen, there is another pair of socks in progress in the car… And I’m […]
Read MoreAs the weather turns cooler I definitely want to knit warmer things! I finished my All the Love in 8 days…it’s blocked and modeled (with the ends still sticking out). Playing yarn chicken necessitated short sleeves and a slightly shorter body but it is so soft I’m looking forward to wearing it! My first gift […]

This is Drift, she’s a pullover by Kristen Finlay in Sueno in the Bowl of Raspberries Tonal colorway. She’s been my constant companion all week, in the car at stop-lights, on my lunch break, in the car with my best man taking a drive, at home in the evening…we’ve been faithful, and now we are […]

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, […]

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 […]
