Making progress on the DH’s socks!

Lifelong yarnaholic and craft junkie. I'm on a quest to learn all I can about knitting, and I plan to take you with me!
Yarn Tasting!
Today my Mom and I attended a virtual yarn tasting! Hill Country Weavers in Austin Tx ran this Zoom event, which features a presentation by a representative from Blue Sky Fibers, who talked about a new yarn line that just came out and also some new colors for existing yarns. She showed all the patterns… Continue reading Yarn Tasting!
It’s Raining Yarn
I’ve been on a bit of a yarn-buying tear over the last few weeks, and it all landed in my mailbox this week. These two sets of three skeins each were gotten to make Float and Sprout – two newish patterns using the newish assigned pooling technique. I’m hoping to get to these later this… Continue reading It’s Raining Yarn

My Bonbori wrap (Rav link) is coming along! I am past the first set of pattern repeats and just did the first increases. It will continue on like this, with the bubbles getting wider as it goes.

This will not fit around my shoulders as is. So off to the blocking instruction videos! After soaking it and then… Continue reading And Now for the Blocking Part
The Knitting Part is Done
The knitting part of my Evolve cowl is done! However, the interesting big for this one is going to be the next part. This pattern is part of AC Knitwear’s Confident Knitting pattern/technique club. This month’s lesson is on Excellent Blocking, so I think we’re about to get fancy with this. More on this over… Continue reading The Knitting Part is Done
Patterns – paper or digital?
I just recently started a process that I’ve been procrastinating on for a while – sorting through all the patterns I have printed out. It’s not as easy as it seems like it might be – I need to check the patterns and make sure I have them digitally, then the printout can get thrown… Continue reading Patterns – paper or digital?
