Friday FO – Hippie Hat is Done!
Once I actually got going on this, it went pretty quickly. And just in time – we need some hats right now! Yarn and pattern were a kit from Calypso Farm in Fairbanks, AK.

Finally Lost One
Well, it had to happen sometime. I have never actually worn out any of my handknit socks – until today. One of my Heart of Sharkness socks wore right through! I didn’t notice until I went to wash them today and saw this. I thought about trying to darn them, but it’s a pretty broad… Continue reading Finally Lost One
Wednesday WIPs
I’ve got two projects on the go right now, one that I call the Hippie Hat, which I don’t remember the actual name of, and the Flock of Four cowl. 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
Oregon Sky Done!
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!
Sunday Start
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
Simple Straight Skirt Done!

For one thing, I changed the hem to a garter stitch band. The pattern hem is a 2×2 rib,… Continue reading Simple Straight Skirt Done!
Pockets!
I have finished knitting the main part of my skirt – now for the finishing. I need to find or get some elastic for the waistband and sew that together, and I need to knit my pockets! The tough part of this is picking the pocket yarn. This is definitely coming out of stash, as… Continue reading Pockets!
No FO
Nothing finished to report today. I made some progress on my skirt, but it doesn’t look much different. The lace panel I was working on in my Oregon Sky is done, and am just making a start on the next rainbow band Tomorrow should be a mostly lazy day – hopefully more to report tomorrow… Continue reading No FO
Wednesday WIPs
Now that things are settling down a little on the knitting front, I’ve got 2 projects going. My skirt continues to progress, and I picked up something I started and put aside this past spring. The skirt is moving along really well! It doesn’t look like much of anything other than static at this point,… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
