I’ve been on a bit of a yarn-buying tear over the last few weeks, and it all landed in my mailbox this week. These two sets of three skeins each were gotten to make Float and Sprout – two newish patterns using the newish assigned pooling technique.

My Bonbori wrap (Rav link) is coming along! I am past the first set of pattern repeats and just did the first increases. It will continue on like this, with the bubbles getting wider as it goes.

The Bonbori wrap is moving along pretty well. Now that the pattern is established, there is basically a lot more like this, though there will be… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
The second KAL I was waiting on started today. The pattern is a new one by Olga Buraya-Kefelian called BonBori. I got a bit of a start on it today, and so far it is going pretty well!
