I started a pair of socks for DH over the weekend. I don’t know why the picture is posting sideway, but you get the idea. Socks! I’m not using a pattern, just my usual toe-up, two-at-a time method. The yarn is Lang yarns Horoscope One Twin Silk in the Aquarius colorway. I made him a… Continue reading Sock it to Me Monday
This weekend I took some online classes with Rowan Connect! Rowan offers online events throughout the year, sometimes just short previews of upcoming magazines or collections, sometimes multi-day events. This weekend was a multi-day event called Rowan Connect. They offered a bunch of different classes Friday through Sunday, and a number of complimentary events as… Continue reading Rowan Connect
Tonight I did something I rarely do – mended some socks. These socks have been laying around waiting for me to either fix them or throw them away for months now. But it’s finally done! This one had an area that was wearing very thin, to the point it was going to develop a hole… Continue reading On the Mend
And just like that, the Reindeer Moss mittens are done! They turned out a little long, so I threw them in the dryer for a few minutes after I soaked them for blocking, and that did the trick. This pair is more my Mom’s colors than mine. But I think there is enough left of… Continue reading Mitten Monday

Helene Magnusson, who I love, is the designer for this field guide, so I could not resist. I ordered the field guide and kits for these mittens and also the Reindeer Moss tam. I have… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs

My gradient socks are done! I didn’t use a pattern, just my usual formula for toe up, two at a time. The yarn is Fierce Fibers True in the Scorch colorway. It is souvenir yarn from a trip to Portland OR in July of 2018. It took a while, but my souvenir skein finally turned… Continue reading Friday FO!
My Eriskay gansey continues to progress! It probably doesn’t look like much has happened, but it has. Right now the underarm gussets are about halfway done. In about 15 rows I will split the sweater body into front and back and start working them separately. At that point I suspect it will feel like I am flying… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
I’m on a real citrus kick lately! This past weekend I baked a lemon cake, using this recipe. It’s meant to be lemon-lime, but I decided to do just lemon. I’m really big into the bundt cakes lately, and baked this one in a fancy bundt pan. It turned out great! It was just moist enough, had… Continue reading Baking Experiment 3: Lemon Cake
