I’m making some progress on my Throwback sweater! The body is done and bound off, and I’m maybe halfway done with the first sleeve. The sleeve is going pretty easy, especially now that I’m halfway done with the decreases 🙂 As usual, please excuse the terrible indoor nighttime picture. After the sleeves are done, I’m… Continue reading Thorsday Throwback
I recently signed up to do a crochet along of Ziggy Interrupted (Rav link) run by Knit and Escape. I’ve admired this scarf for a while now, and also feel like I should do at least a little crocheting, hence committing to another project. And that’s OK.

This yarn was from a sock club I was in a few… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
When we last saw the Evolve cowl, it looked like this: But it needs to be much broader, especially around the bottom. The pattern photos show it down around Jen of AC Knitwear’s shoulders. This will not fit around my shoulders as is. So off to the blocking instruction videos! After soaking it and then… Continue reading And Now for the Blocking Part
