This cowl is from the kit of the same name on Modern Daily Knitting. The pattern is adapted from their sequence knitting Field Guide, and the yarn is four smaller skeins of breed specific yarns from Solitude Wool. This was a lot of fun to knit, as you get to feel and see the difference… Continue reading Flock of Four is Done!
I took a couple classes at this month’s Vogue Knitting Live again this month, and it was nice to get back to it! I took a class on Japanese stitch patterns from Gayle Roehm, who has translated several of the Japanese stitch bibles currently available and also teaches quite a few classes on the subject.… Continue reading VK Live Again
I’ve got two WIPs going right now – the Flock of Four cowl, and a new project. The Flock of Four Cowl is going pretty well! I believe I’ve got one more pattern area to knit, then blocking and joining. I just started the second project today, but I’m pretty excited about it. It will… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs

I bought the kit for the Hippie Hat at Calypso Farm‘s stand at the last MatSu fiber festival I went to, which would have been… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I got this finished yesterday and blocked overnight. It turned out just lovely! I was hoping for a sunny day for good photos, but it was a pretty cloudy day out, so this is the best light available. Which I guess is appropriate for this shawl, though we didn’t get any rainbows today. Anchorage skies… Continue reading Oregon Sky Done!
With my last big project for the year finished, I’m starting to get into some of the smaller things I meant to do this year. Today I started my Flock of Four cowl kit. I had a little bit of a hiccup at the start – the directions on the website say to cast on… Continue reading Sunday Start
