Temple of Flora progress
My Temple of Flora shawl is moving along pretty nicely – I have a couple more pattern repeats until it divides for the fronts. I love the color change yarn – it’s lovely watching how the pattern is developing 🙂

Randomness Roundup
I have a lot of random news to share, so here goes! The seedlings are still alive and thriving, we managed to find a second Jiffy seed starting tray so we could start the rest of our flowers. It was tough to find – we went to several stores before we were able to find… Continue reading Randomness Roundup
Online Knitting Fun
Just like zoos and museums are developing online activities for people to participate in, the knitting world is gradually moving in that direction as well.

The yarn in this kit is part of the Schoppel crazy/zaurball family of yarns, so the yarn colors are all over the place. This fits with this particular design, but… Continue reading Temple of Flora
FO Friday

These were part of the Mason Dixon Knitting March Mayhem, where the pattern made it all the way to the final four. Even though this design wasn’t the final winner, it was intriguing enough for me to… Continue reading FO Friday
