Sorry for the radio silence the last few days – I had a whirlwind trip to Kenai AK for work this week. I will have pictures to share of the sights and some fun restaurants as soon as I catch my breath. I did get quite a lot of knitting in during the evenings –… Continue reading Back Home
This week’s work trip is to scenic Kenai Alaska! Yesterday afternoon a coworker and I drove down from Anchorage (well, she drove). We had a typical mix of weather from rain squalls to sunshine, and it ended up being a nice day! I didn’t take pictures the whole way, as it’s a couple hour long… Continue reading This Week’s Trip
Almost. And not me, sadly – Dolores 🙂 Her Amy Herzog-designed outfit is almost done! So far we’ve got her dress, slouchy hat, and 1 of 2 legwarmers done! Did not have time to do the second tonight because I leave for a work trip tomorrow and had tons of things to do to get… Continue reading Ready for Rhinebeck!
I lifted this knitting/crocheting/crafting q & a from Nothing But Knit.

This weekend I fixed her eyes and added a bit more wool to the top of her head… I like her eyes much better – before they were a little uneven and didn’t… Continue reading Dolores Enhancements
I’m making good progress on the back so far – have gotten up to the armhole decrease already! When I was originally thinking about this sweater, I thought I might add a little textural interest by doing a little blip of purl stitches here and there. However, the thick/thin nature of the yarn is already… Continue reading The Gray Cardigan Progresses
I finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now – got a Custom Fit sweater pattern! Custom Fit is a program/website created by Amy Herzog that you can use to generate sweater patterns designed to your specification and measurements. You can choose one of her designs and just get it the… Continue reading Custom Fit
Here is the fabulous Dolores van Hoofen! I do need to spiff her up a bit. I need to redo her eyes, and also she needs a bit more wool on top. I used up the yarn I have, but did do a gauge swatch, so I can unravel that and use it to fluff… Continue reading Dolores is Done (at least for now)
