My SIL’s Christmas Elvis mittens are done! The pattern is called Elvis Presley, (Ravelry link) and is by Lotta Lundin. I used Knit Picks Palette in white and black.

One of the things you can do with bullet journaling is work on building habits. This can be a short term or long term effort, but it’s a pretty straightforward process.

And then my Mom absconded with the rest of the yarn! I didn’t use a pattern… Continue reading FO Friday: Tigress Socks!

The festival was amazing – a much bigger event than I have been… Continue reading Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival
Not a lot different going on in my knitting world, but making progress on all the things. My cardigan fronts are about an inch from the armhole bindoff and lapel increases. The second Elvis mitten is started but not very far along. And my tigress socks are started and ready to come along on my… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I started a pair of socks to take along on my upcoming trip to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival. Because socks are the idea travel project 🙂 The yarn is from Urth yarns, and is their Uneek Sock Tigress. Meanwhile, my own tiny tigress wonders what the neighbors are up to.
