My Vertices Unite is done! The pattern (Ravelry link) is by Stephen West. It uses 5 colors of fingering weight yarn, but does not use them up. At least it didn’t for me. So if you have partial balls of yarn in your stash, this might be a good one to use them up. It… Continue reading Vertices Unite- Done!
August Uncommon recently started offering mystery tea boxes under this enticing name. And since I’m definitely up for a tea adventure, I bit. Here is what the first month of this subscription brought me: The theme for this month’s box is Forest & Field and how can I not like a tea called Neon Forest?… Continue reading Why Yes, I Would Like to Have a Tea Adventure!
The first clue dropped today for the Ocean Moon MKAL and my carefully set plan has fallen apart. At least partially. I didn’t have enough of one of the yarns I chose, and now that I see the first clue, another one of the yarns will not work for the pattern. Augh! Why didn’t I… Continue reading Rapidly Evolving Plan
I’m on section 6 of Vertices Unite (Ravelry link)! So after this piece is done, I just have to do the border and it’s done. For my Yawl cardigan (Ravelry link), the back and fronts are done, and the sleeves are started. I haven’t done anything on my Mom’s mitts for a couple weeks, so… Continue reading Project Progress

I mentioned it a couple of times here, but she had asked us not to share pictures until the pattern was released. Well, that happened earlier this week, so here is my Cossette! For different views of the project, see… Continue reading Mystery Test Knit Revealed!
So just like that, I finished section 3, then section 4, and am onto section 5! For anyone currently knitting a Vertices Unite or thinking about it, Sections 1 (dark and medium blue stripes on the left) and 3 (orange) are huge and a little disheartening. Section 2 (not visible in this photo) is a… Continue reading Vertices Unite Progress
I’m planning on knitting along with Ambah O’Brien’s Ocean Moon MKAL, which starts a little later this month. Hopefully Vertices United will be done by then, or at least close. But even if not, I should be able to do clues as they come out. Here is the yarn I picked out of stash And… Continue reading Ocean Moon
I’m a day late for the Wednesday WIPs, but do have some progress to show! First, the first of my Mom’s Christmas mittens is coming along OK. The pattern is charted really nicely, and it’s an easy knit so far. I’m still plugging away at section 3 of my Vertices United. However, the end of… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
I’m back! With another knitting book! Sorry for the long radio silence – I had a few potential health issues going on, but all is well and I’ve got bandwidth for blogging again. Anyway. Icelandic Mittens: Traditional Patterns Reimagined, does pretty much exactly what the title says it is going to do. The author examined… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Icelandic Mittens
