My red, white, and blue version of the Shooting Star scarf is finished! All in all it took me about a week to make, so it’s a pretty quick project. It uses roughly a single skein’s worth of fingering weight yarn, and is a great way to use up either scraps or a miniskein bundle.… Continue reading Firework Shooting Star Done!
Not as much going on this week on the knitting front – I haven’t touched my Powdermill this week, though I really should. I have been keeping up on the Celtic Mist MKAL. Here are clues 3 and 4 We are halfway done! So far each of the clues has been pretty reasonable, though the… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
This weekend we took a short trip about an hour away to Manitowoc. This is one of the nearby towns we are thinking about as a potential place to move, so we were there to see the sights, but also just to sort of scope out the town. We went to the Wisconsin Maritime Museum,… Continue reading Adventures in Dairyland II
The pattern is Forest Path Hap (Ravelry Link) by Patricia Anne Fortune, and the yarn is Rauma Finull in the 4130 colorway. It was mostly a relaxing knit, as most of it is either stockinette or moss stitch. The lace part is pretty straightforward and easy.

The western side of Lake Winnebago is… Continue reading Adventures in Dairyland

So I’ve basically decided that I’m going to treat it like a marathon and not a sprint. It will get… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I actually visited this shop a week or so ago but just hadn’t gotten around to posting about it until now. Fibre is a great yarn shop in the nearby town of Neenah. They have a fantastic variety of yarns, books, and notions. The yarns are arranged by fiber type – a section each for… Continue reading Fibre – Yarn Shop Visit!
Apparently me This was an interesting knit! It started with a triangle and then built off to the side. Then a second piece like the other. Then they get joined together. It’s definitely one of those projects that looks hard but is a lot easier than they look. There are some unique stitch patterns included,… Continue reading Who Ya Gonna Shawl?
For a change I’ve got three projects on the go right now! Powdermill is moving right along! It’s one of those fun knits that looks much more complicated than it is. I am enjoying this one a lot, though it may wind up in hibernation for the next month or so because I have way… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
