Just two WIPs with anything new to report this week – my Melville sweater and a new project. Still on the yoke of Melville (Ravelry link), which really does go on and on and does not end. However, I do like the fabric and the color so far. I’m just excited to get to the… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
I got a few things done this week and last I haven’t shared yet. First – my Mom’s Rooftop Landing hat (Ravelry Link)! The yarn is Polka Dot Sheep Ski Town Sport in the Nessie (green) and Beargrass (natural) colorways. This is a very nice pattern and a pretty easy knit. It has a folded… Continue reading Four FOs!
All my projects are moving right along! I’m pretty well along on my Melville sweater yoke. I don’t have many more rows to do, but the rows are so long now! It will be good to get the sleeves separated out and get going on the colorwork! Good progress on my Mom’s Rooftop Landing hat… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
We have had a lot of extra visitors to the back yard recently, including two deer that visit almost daily! They mainly eat seeds and corn off the ground, but will bonk their heads on the feeders to make more food fall on the ground 🙂 We knew they were coming around because there are… Continue reading Livestock Report
I haven’t done a word of the year before, mainly because I couldn’t think of a word that really grabbed me as a guide for a year. However, I’m giving it a try this year, and my word is Finish. I left a lot of things undone over the last few years – WIPs, online… Continue reading Word of the Year
I’ve got two projects going right now, and making decent progress on both! This is a hat I’m making for my Mom – the pattern is Rooftop Landing (Ravelry link). I bought this kit from my LYS. The pattern came with the yarn from Polka Dot Sheep – it is Ski Town Sport, and the… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I had a little FO this week, my Cetraria Islandica cowl! The pattern and kit are by Helene Magnusson, aka The Icelandic Knitter. The main yarn (the brown) is unspun plotulopi, which is interesting to knit with. I had to be a lot more delicate with it than I generally am with yarn. The resulting… Continue reading Friday FO: Cetraria Islandica
This has been a busy week in crafting! I started a new pullover, Melville (Ravelry link). I like a lot about this pattern. First of all, I love Moby Dick, which it is referencing a lot. I love the colorwork pattern of the waves and the whale (though the pattern shows a baleen whale and… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
OMG – Powdermill is finally done! I started this cardigan 1/1/2023 as a KAL with Alissa of Alissa Makes, so it’s been in the works for a little over 2 years now. It spent part of that time in time-out while I worked on other stuff, but still. That’s a long time to work on… Continue reading Friday FO – Powdermill!
