Mohair Stripes Progress
The mohair stripes scarf is moving along pretty well! I haven’t had a lot of time to work on it over the last couple days, but it is really floofy yarn on big needles, so there is some gratifying progress anyway.

Odyssey Progress
Just three more rows, then a picot bindoff that I suspect will take quite a while, but should turn out really pretty. Pattern is the Odyssey Shawl by Joji Locatelli How are your projects coming along?
First Cast-On of 2021
My Mom and I thought it would be fun to start the new year with a new easy project, so we cast on easy diagonal scarves with some yarn from our stashes. The yarn is a mohair gift pack of Adele’s mohair, which we got from Biscotte yarns several years ago. My set is Underwater,… Continue reading First Cast-On of 2021

Blue Shimmer Progress
After stalling for a good couple of hours, I finally got knitting on the colorwork part of my Bohus starter project, a Blue Shimmer hat.
