I finally finished my Ghost Knitter Cowl, and just in time for Halloween! My only modification to the pattern is I added beads to the bind off. I’m happy with how this turned out! The yarn is a silk/wool mix, so it is very cushy and drapy. I didn’t block this aggressively at all, because… Continue reading Happy Halloween!

Except the actual geographic center is 8 miles away in the middle of a field… Continue reading Devil’s Tower and the Center of the Nation
Because I have so many projects in the works now, I decided the only way to make any measurable progress is to focus on one or two at a time and then move on.
