Well, I finally did it – I mended one of my knitted items. Not many of my hand-knits have worn out on me yet, and the few that did I just threw out. However, the last thing to get a hole was one of my stripy Christmas socks. That is a relatively new pair of… Continue reading On the Mend
The gray thing is the back for my Yawl cardigan. It is knitting up really quickly, and I love the yarn! It is a little ironic that I went from one project I complained about because it was boring stockinette to another project that is basically boring stockinette. But that’s how it goes sometimes. Both… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I got to spend a lot of time lazing around Sunday, which let me get two more blocks done for my National Parks afghan! This one is for Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The image the designer chose is a Rocky Mountain Blue Columbine flower. I worked this in a mix of intarsia and… Continue reading Two More National Park Blocks
One project ends, the next begins! Next up is Yawl by Amy Herzog. I got this as a Custom Fit pattern a few years ago, and am happy to finally be making it! The yarn I am using is Noro Silk Garden Solo in Light Gray (02). It is working up really quickly – yay… Continue reading Saturday Start
I’m continuing to make progress on my Vertices Unite. I’m not working on it a lot, but some. And I’m happy with how the orange looks with the blues. Pop!! And my Damele top is finally done! It is somewhat translucent so I’ll have to wear something under it, but I have plenty of tank… Continue reading A WIP and a FO

The technique we focused on was stranded cabling. If you have done stranded colorwork and cabling, you will not find this too tough. Keeping the floats/tension right was… Continue reading Back to Class – Vogue Knitting Live
My Vertices Unite is moving along – I have just finished section 2! So far I’m happy with it. The four yarns that make up these two sections will make up most of the rest of the shawl, alone or in different combinations. The only other different yarn is the next section. Here is the… Continue reading Vertices Unite Progress
The 2 Spooky Pattern and kit are both from Nancy Bates Designs. The pattern is well written and has a nice, clear chart for the colorwork. The yarn kit had a good amount of yarn in it – I have a little left of all the colors, but not huge amounts. It is nice quality… Continue reading Friday FO: 2 Spooky Hat
Some progress to report! The Halloween hat is moving along. I just started the decreases, so not too much knitting left. After that is done there is a little duplicate stitching to do on the pumpkins, then blocking and so on. I’m pretty happy with this hat – it is cute, and it’s an easy… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
