The mohair stripes scarf is moving along! It is all bunched up here, as there is a lot of this scarf! I have to admit that a short way into the pattern I lost track of which yarn was A,B,C, etc., as the pattern tells you to just assign a letter to each yarn in… Continue reading Mohair Stripes Progress
Somewhat oddly, this year I have not set myself any knitting goals. This year, I really need to focus on fitness, my weight, and some other wellness-related stuff. I have been getting regular exercise for about a month now. I got a Fitbit to help in tracking my activity, along with some other stuff. Getting… Continue reading Rare Non-Knitting Goal
I cast on a new project on Saturday – the It’s All Right mobius cowl. It is really more of a shoulder -width wrap than a cowl, but you could really wear it either way 🙂 The design is by Ellen Thomas, The Chilly Dog. It is an MKAL which Maker’s Mercantile is putting on.… Continue reading Saturday Start

Mom has it and is considering a fashion shoot with it, so I may get some daytime photos of it one of these days. The pattern is Odyssey Shawl by Joji… Continue reading Friday FO

None of them are entirely what I was looking for. So I started looking for knitting-specific journals. There… Continue reading Knitting Journal Roundup
The mohair stripes scarf is moving along pretty well! I haven’t had a lot of time to work on it over the last couple days, but it is really floofy yarn on big needles, so there is some gratifying progress anyway.
Just three more rows, then a picot bindoff that I suspect will take quite a while, but should turn out really pretty. Pattern is the Odyssey Shawl by Joji Locatelli How are your projects coming along?
My Mom and I thought it would be fun to start the new year with a new easy project, so we cast on easy diagonal scarves with some yarn from our stashes. The yarn is a mohair gift pack of Adele’s mohair, which we got from Biscotte yarns several years ago. My set is Underwater,… Continue reading First Cast-On of 2021
