I’m reviewing these three books together because they’re on basically the same topic and by the same author. Also, because “From Around Norway” is part of all three titles and takes a while to type, I’m abbreviating it to FAN. All three of these books have patterns inspired by historical examples from collections in museums… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Knits, Mitts, and Socks from Around Norway
For some reason, this has been my week to stop procrastinating and start getting things done. It’s been a strangely good feeling to get moving! So today, it was time to get back into my National Park Centennial Celebrations afghan. (Ravelry link) First I wanted to take stock of what I had already done. As… Continue reading A Little Bit of a Lot
Progress on my Damele top and Vertices Unite shawl. Not a ton of progress, but noticeable 🙂 Now that my last little distraction project is done, what’s next? I asked for opinions a little while ago as to whether I should just go for little projects like hats or mitts, or if I should work… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
My Sasquatch at Sunset hat is finished! This was a quick and fun knit, and it is very likely I will knit another of these hats, or some version of it. (Sasquatch cowl? Sasquatch mitts? Who can tell!) The pattern for this hat is All Sass and No Squatch (Ravelry link), which was very kindly… Continue reading Sasquatch at Sunset
I have three projects on the needles right now. Vertices Unite, starting the back of my Damele top, and starting an All Sass, No Squatch hat! All are going along pretty well. I’m hoping to get a lot done on the hat this weekend – maybe an FO to report soon 🙂 What are you… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs

The Gansey Knitting Sourcebook is by Di Gilpin and Sheila Greenwell. It is new, published in 2021. This book starts with a few pages of… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: The Gansey Knitting Sourcebook
The front of my Damele top is done! This is a terrible indoor nighttime picture of an unblocked black knitted object. Enjoy! But still, I’m glad to be making decent progress with it 🙂
Hey – here’s more of those two things I’m working on! Making good progress on the front of Damele here – in a few more inches I will split it for the neck. And Vertices Unite. This piece of the shawl increases slowly for a bit more, then goes into more rapid decrease. But it’s… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Yet again, I have two biggish projects going, both moving along reasonably well. And yet the progress is not photogenic, really. I’ll post update pictures on WIP Wednesday, but there’s not much exciting there. In terms of knitting, the projects are a biggish stockinette top and a biggish garter stitch shawl start. So I need… Continue reading And Then?
