First off – Happy New Year! I finished out the year with one last completed project – the socks I started working on earlier this month That’s actually what I did on NY eve – finished these socks and watched the new season of Midsummer Murders 🙂 Although I have a lot of WIPs left… Continue reading Goodbye to 2025!
Back to regularly scheduled knitting! A little while ago I started a pair of socks to have something to work on in the car. Now that Mom’s sweater is done, I have been focusing on getting them done. They are coming along pretty well! I’m not using a pattern, just my standard recipe – 2… Continue reading Sock it to Me Monday
The secret gift project I have been working on for the last two months was finished with a few days to spare, which was cutting it a little closer than I like. However, the recipient has received it, so now I can share it here. I made my Mom the autumn leaf version of the… Continue reading Secret Gift Project
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage… Continue reading Disco Babushka Done!
I’m working on just 2 projects right now, and neither of them are projects I was working on last time I posted about knitting. I’m not up to 5 (!) WIPs that will need to be finished next year.

The yarn is a silk/wool mix, so it is very cushy and drapy. I didn’t block this aggressively at all, because… Continue reading Happy Halloween!

Hopefully… Continue reading Weekly WIPs
Mostly Ghostly is coming right along! I’m well along on the torso and in an inch or 2 will be able to start the colorwork band at the waist. Then it’s just sleeves and done! I’ve been focusing almost entirely on this project because this past week stockinette has been all that I can handle.… Continue reading Mostly Ghostly – in Knitting and Life
Because I have so many projects in the works now, I decided the only way to make any measurable progress is to focus on one or two at a time and then move on. Because we are 4 weeks away from Halloween, Mostly Ghostly is first in the lineup. The pattern is Fall Favorites Collection… Continue reading Mostly Ghostly
