Hope everyone in the US had a good Independence Day! It was a busy but good day for me. In addition to a bunch of other household tasks, I got my stash resorted and reorganized, which was a nice relief! I also got a lot done on Glenesk, but more on that later this week.… Continue reading OT – Summer Flower Break!
Sleeve #1 of Glenesk is done! And I had enough knitting time left over last night that I could prep and cut the steek for the second sleeve, so I can get rolling on that one as well! Up until now, this has been weekend knitting only, because I wanted to have stretches of time… Continue reading Armed and Dangerous

I’m on a trip for work right now, so not getting a lot of knitting done, and none at all on my regularly scheduled projects. There is a pretty nice pool at the hotel where I am staying, so it’s a little bit of a pity I didn’t bring Call of the Siren, as I… Continue reading Work Trip
I have a bit of progress to report on both the Call of the Sirens and the entrelac kerchief, so that’s exciting. Glad to be moving forward! On Call of the Sirens, I got back to the point where I made the decision to rip back and then went into clue 2 with no problems. … Continue reading Progress Report – Sirens and Entrelac
Tonight I watched The Shape of Water while re-knitting my Call of the Siren, so now I am feeling very aquatic and weird 🙂 Edgar and Lazlo assisted, as you can see here.
