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. However, I will worry about that another day. My two current projects are a gift sweater… Continue reading Disco Babushka!
I finally finished my Ghost Knitter Cowl, and just in time for Halloween! My only modification to the pattern is I added beads to the bind off. I’m happy with how this turned out! 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!

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

I finally finished my shark socks! These were started in July to celebrate shark week, and worked on in fits and starts ever since. And now they are done! Very happy with how they turned out! They fit fine and make me smile every time I look at them. What about you? What are you… Continue reading Finally an FO!
