My Find Your Fade continues on! I just finished with the French Toast (lavender) and am going into two sections of the Gin and Tonic (light blue) shown here. And other than a little noodling around with gauge swatched and caking up some skeins for small other projects, that’s pretty much what I got accomplished… Continue reading Continuing to Fade Away
Earlier this week, I posted about my Knitting Seasons week 5 exercise – the random stripes exercise. And I mentioned that though I technically completed the exercise, I felt like I had a bit more to learn from it. So I started a second swatch with different yarn and a bit more randomness built into… Continue reading Not as Random as I Thought
Hope you all had a lovely day – whether you are celebrating a relationship, a friendship, or your own fabulous self! I did get some knitting in today! I finished my random stripes – they are blocking now and should be ready for a picture tomorrow evening. So how was your day?
Today was crazy at work, and then it was crazy at home. I got a lot of things done, including rearranging half the furniture in my kitchen/living room. But sadly, none of those things was knitting. Tomorrow I have plans to sneak some in either at lunch or in the evening. My yarn is calling… Continue reading Another Sadly Knitless Day
I’m not particularly a stripe fan. They are OK here or there, but by and large, stripes are not my thing. For all of that, the last couple days all my knitting has been all stripes all the time! First, I have gotten a bit more done on my Find Your Fade, but am still… Continue reading Stripes All Over the Place

The bottom pattern just added an extra row between cable rows to give it a bit more room.… Continue reading Within Slightly Larger Limits
We had a busy day Saturday – lots of errands and chores done, but also got to do a few fun things as well! DH and I went to a special Chinese New Year tea at the Indigo Tea Lounge here in town. The place was all decorated with red for good luck, and since… Continue reading Going Places and Doing Things
In between all the Knitting Season exercises and all the other stuff going on, I have been getting in a little work on my Find Your Fade. This evening I finally got to another color! I will be alternating the French Toast (lavender) and Gin and Tonic (blue) for a few rows, than on to… Continue reading A Little of This
Finally finished my limitations exercise and got it blocked! The next exercise – this week’s, in fact – is taking one of the previous exercises and doing a little more with it. I plan to use this one for that, because there are a few of these patterns that I am wondering how they will… Continue reading 4 x 4 exercises
