This month’s Harney & Son’s tea subscription came yesterday – it was a very fancy tin of their 30 Year Anniversary tea! Although the ingredients list just says “black tea” the story about it on the side of the tin says that it is made up of a blend of Ceylon and India teas, with… Continue reading Tea for Two: Super Fancy Black Tea
Another day of not much exciting, knitwise. I got a few hours to knit this evening while re-watching the last couple seasons of Venture Brothers. Was able to get a couple more inches done on my Forest Weave, so it’s starting to look like something! A bit, anyway. This pattern is really pretty straightforward. Just… Continue reading Weaving Along
Not too much exciting to report on the knitting front today – got to do a good bit on Forest Weave, though not enough to look like it quite yet 🙂 Still enjoying the color quite a bit, and still not having problems with my hands at all, even with the yarn being linen.

I am actually testing out shapes for my next design, so I was looking for something specific. They are not out of the Exploring Shawl Shapes book, but instead from the course materials… Continue reading Collection of Crescents

I was a little concerned, because it is DK… Continue reading Forest Weave

Actually, I’m still coming down from the vitamin C-laced sugar high. It all started last week at work. One of my team mates brought in some super-fancy… Continue reading OT: Candy Land
Mittens are done! These were quick and easy to knit, and have a nifty finish. The pattern is Totally Tubular Mittens, and the yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in the poetically named color 300601. Whatever it is called, it is a bright and cheery red! When the design first got published, the photos included… Continue reading Totally Tubular Mittens Done!
Hey, you know when’s a really good time to get some knitting in? During printer installation. 😛
Not much knitting news to tell today. Did not have as much knitting time as I hoped I would – got up to where the thumb stitches get set aside. May be able to get finished tomorrow. It will depend, as always, on the amount of free time available! Hope your weekend is off to… Continue reading Mitten Knittin’
