Marlisle Mitts Progress
Now that everything is settling back down somewhat, I have been working away on my Delftig mitts. They are moving along pretty well – in about 10 rows or so the decreases begin for the top. The waste stitches you see on the palm side are where the afterthought thumb goes. The thumbs get knit… Continue reading Marlisle Mitts Progress
Cowl About Town
Before we left on our trip last week, I spent a fair amount of time fretting about what projects to take along with me, coming up with pros and cons for all the possibilities. As usual, I wound up over-yarning by quite a bit. I wound up taking along my Delftig marlisle mittens, the yarn… Continue reading Cowl About Town
Viva Las Vegas! (warning – photo heavy)
I had a fair amount of fun in Las Vegas this week, entirely aside from my visit to Sin City Knits 🙂 I’m not a gambler, and none of the big shows going on while we were there were of much interest to us. However, there are always things to do there. We stayed at… Continue reading Viva Las Vegas! (warning – photo heavy)

Why yes, I am listening to some of it right now, as it happens! Alaska Airlines. They get it done… Continue reading Thankful Thursday

Knitter’s Bookshelf: Selbu Mittens
Selbu Mittens by Anne Bardsgard is not kidding around. It is a heavily researched and richly illustrated book containing everything you could conceivably want to know about Selbu mittens – history, methodology, and if you want to knit along – patterns. It claims to have 500 charts and 35 classic patterns, and I feel like… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Selbu Mittens
