Well. This has been quite a month. Lots of work-related work, and lots of school-related work. I have been attempting to catch up on blog reading, and hopefully will have everyone’s posts read! It is great seeing what everyone has been doing and creating! DH and I took a little break last Saturday and went… Continue reading Quite a Month
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage… Continue reading Disco Babushka Done!
I’m working on just 2 projects right now, and neither of them are projects I was working on last time I posted about knitting. I’m not up to 5 (!) WIPs that will need to be finished next year. However, I will worry about that another day. My two current projects are a gift sweater… Continue reading Disco Babushka!
I’m back! I didn’t actually go anywhere, life just kind of got crazy over the last two weeks. I will post later this week with knitting stuff and catch up on everyone’s blogs as well. But in other news… Our town got a bookstore! Knuth Book Cellar opened last Friday, and we went in to… Continue reading That Just Flew By!
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!
Finally a knitting post here on my knitting blog! I have a bit of progress to report on my two current projects. Mostly Ghostly is going well – just a few rows more, then the ribbing and bindoff for the body. And of course, sleeves. Very happy with how it’s turning out so far! Hopefully… Continue reading Weekly WIPs
We are supposed to get down below freezing tonight for the first time this year! I had the vague sense that we still had a few veggies out there, so went out to take one last look before it was too late. It’s a good thing I checked – we would have missed out on… Continue reading Last Agriculture Report for 2025
Although we got to see a lot of interesting sites on our South Dakota trip, for us the big three were Mt. Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, and the Badlands. The Badlands is such an interesting area, because every view is somewhat different. You drive around it for upwards of an hour, and around every bend and… Continue reading Badlands, Minuteman Missile Site, and Dino Park
Mostly Ghostly is coming right along! I’m well along on the torso and in an inch or 2 will be able to start the colorwork band at the waist. Then it’s just sleeves and done! I’ve been focusing almost entirely on this project because this past week stockinette has been all that I can handle.… Continue reading Mostly Ghostly – in Knitting and Life
