Well, heading into Wednesday, anyway 😉 Of the three things I have going right now, I haven’t touched the entrelac kerchief this week, though I plan to do at least a bit over the next couple of days. I am well along on the first sleeve of Glenesk There is about 2/3 of the last… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
My favorite LYS, Far North Yarn Company, had a blowout sale for solstice (this is a big deal in Alaska), that carried on until yesterday. A major feature of the sale was $1 magazines and $5 books. Guys, every knitting book in the store was $5! So I stocked up. While the owner was ringing… Continue reading Book Score!
This week was mostly a blur. It consisted of a whirlwind work trip to Seattle, in which I got an awful lot of work done, and not a lot of sleep. But in between work tasks, I did finish the two kits I took with me (if you ignore the maybe hour of knitting I… Continue reading Quick Travel Knits
I’m on a trip for work right now, so not getting a lot of knitting done, and none at all on my regularly scheduled projects. There is a pretty nice pool at the hotel where I am staying, so it’s a little bit of a pity I didn’t bring Call of the Siren, as I… Continue reading Work Trip
I have a bit of progress to report on both the Call of the Sirens and the entrelac kerchief, so that’s exciting. Glad to be moving forward! On Call of the Sirens, I got back to the point where I made the decision to rip back and then went into clue 2 with no problems. … Continue reading Progress Report – Sirens and Entrelac

The Shape of Water, if you aren’t familiar with it, is a modern retelling of the Revenge of the Creature, which is a… Continue reading The Knit Aquatic
I’m going to start with something a little off topic – PBS’s The Great American Read! To give a broad overview, this is an 8 part series about America’s 100 best-loved books. The launch special introducing the books and the series concept just aired. Meredith Viera hosts the series, which is basically about how awesome… Continue reading Great American Read & Glenesk
Today was a very knitty day! DH and I had a few errands to run today, just generally getting some tasks done. We did stop for lunch at Bombay Deluxe, our local Indian restaurant, where I got a little public knitting in before having some very tasty matar paneer. The project is an entrelac kercheif… Continue reading Knitting In Public and Otherwise
Hey knitting fans – Saturday June 9 is World Wide Knit in Public Day! That doesn’t need a lot of explanation – tomorrow is a day that you are encouraged to get out in public and knit. Certainly lots of people do this every day, but on this particular day, you may well see more… Continue reading WWKIP Day!
