Blue Shimmer Hat is Done!
Here it is right off the needles – its a little wonky here and there. However, gentle wet blocking got everything all smoothed out. Very happy with how it turned out! Close up at an angle to show off the purl bump texture here and there 🙂 Very relieved that this went as well as… Continue reading Blue Shimmer Hat is Done!

If you celebrate Christmas, how was yours? If not, how was your weekend? My Christmas was a pretty good one! My Mom is here with us, so she and my DH and I opened gifts together.

For the curious, you can track Santa either on NORAD’s Santa Tracker here or on Google’s Santa tracker here. They are both wacky yet informative fun 🙂 Happy Christmas Eve!

Odyssey Progress

However, it is knitting up very cushy and warm. The first section was Leicester Longwool, the second is Jacob. The Leicester… Continue reading Odyssey Progress
