In the face of all logic and sense, I cast on another project – my Betwixt shawl! Many of you voted on my proposed colorways earlier, and the different versions of the vampire colorway were the most popular. I’m using red for the main color and black for the accent in the mosaic section, and… Continue reading Another Saturday, Another Start
I ripped back my Fright Night socks to the start of the colorwork section and am giving it another shot. This time I went up a needle size thanks to the good suggestion from azwoolgirl. Between that and just trying to keep everything loose, hopefully this time everything will go OK 🙂
Well, I got my socks done this evening – with one small problem. The colorwork bands are too tight and won’t fit over my heels. D’oh!

My Fright Night socks are almost done! I have just a few inches of ribbing to go, and my 2021 Halloween socks are finished! Very happy with how the little bats turned out!

If you’ve been reading my blog at all, you may know that my Mom travels back and forth between us and my brother and SIL. A few things changed in our family last year – the biggest of which is that brother and SIL moved from Clearwater Florida to Appleton Wisconsin. So when it was… Continue reading Appleton Adventure
The Arrowhead cardigan is coming along – I’m maybe halfway through the first pattern repeat. I’m slowing down on the Just Beachy shawl – I’m only a little way into clue 2, and clue 3 was released yesterday. And the socks are moving along slowly but surely. One more inch or so and then it’s… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs – Slowly but Surely
