FO Friday
DH’s socks are done! The yarn is Universal Yarns Uni Merino in the Salem colorway. I didn’t use a pattern at all, just my usual toe-up 2-at-a time method. On to the next!

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!
Thursday ThWIPs
I’ve got the same two project moving along. Melville is somewhat further along from last week. I’m enjoying watching the pattern emerge! And DH’s socks are aaaalmost done! Just a bit more on the ribbing and then they are finished. So now the question of what to cast on next! More socks? A quick summer… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Triagonal Shawlette – Done!
With my other projects taking so long, I wanted something quick to finish – so I made a Triagonal shawlette! This is a nice quick mini-shawl (Ravelry Link) designed by Ambah O’Brien. It can be made with either a skein of sock yarn or 5 mini-skeins. I used a set my Mom got me for… Continue reading Triagonal Shawlette – Done!
Thursday ThWIPs
I’m chugging along with my same two projects, but at least I’m making progress! This is the front and back of my Melville (Ravelry link). I’m about 1/3 of the way through the colorwork and enjoying it quite a bit! I love watching the pattern emerge 🙂 My DH’s socks are coming along as well.… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Always More Stuff to Learn

I don’t want to do that every day – sometimes you… Continue reading Always More Stuff to Learn
Thursday ThWIPs
I’ve got two projects currently active, my Melville and DH’s socks. DH’s socks are coming right along! I have turned the heels, so now it’s just straight up the legs until I run out of yarn. Melville too is coming along! I’m about 25 rows into the colorwork, and I am happy with how it… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Dream Come True
For years, I have wanted a yarn winding station. Somewhere I could set up my swift and winder and just leave them up. But it just hasn’t been practical for one reason or another. But finally, my yarn winding dreams have come true! Ta Da!! Recently I was thinking about maybe getting a sawhorse of… Continue reading Dream Come True
Knitter’s Bookshelf: Shetland Fine Lace Knitting
Carol Christiansen’s Shetland Fine Lace Knitting is a thorough and engaging book. It was produced as a result of the Shetland Museum’s efforts to catalog and fully assess their collection of Shetland lace knitted items. Although the book does include pictures of quite a few full shawls and garments, the focus is on motifs and… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Shetland Fine Lace Knitting
Wednesday WIPs
Other than DH’s socks, I’ve got two active projects going – Melville and a new little shawlette. Melville (Ravelry link) is moving along! I have just started the colorwork, which was quite a thrill. I don’t think this project will move along particularly quickly, but I’m enjoying seeing the pattern develop. I like the contrast… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
