Thorsday: Arachne Update
I got a start on the webbing on the second sleeve! But I have my classes Saturday and Sunday morning, so I’m not sure if I’ll have time to work on them before Monday. But even still, hopefully the second sleeve will be done by this time next week. Then on to the body!
Knitting Homework
I suddenly remembered yesterday afternoon that my Virtual VK live classes this weekend have homework!

Arachne Progress

In October 2017, I bought and read a book called Dimensional Tuck Knitting by Tracy Purtscher, which is about a new technique she developed for creating texture in knitted fabric. Today I took another day off from production knitting to just play around, and this time I finally got around to trying out some of… Continue reading Just 2 1/2 Years Later
