Well, my second KAL of April started yesterday – Temple of Flora is a mosaic knitting shawl/wrap with an interesting construction, designed by Franklin Habit.

I did manage to get one small thing finished this week – a pair of Woodland Loafer slippers! These were part of the Mason Dixon Knitting March Mayhem, where the pattern made it all the way to the final four.

My Shark 3D socks are done! Finally got to use some natural light – hopefully it will show the shark a little better, though still not great. The sock on the left is the top of the foot and is his eyes and gills, which are going the wrong direction. The sock on the right… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Both of my current projects have been moving along – not dramatically, but steadily. I am about halfway done with the raglan decreases on my Niazuma back. It is tidily stored right next to what is now my workstation ready to deploy for phone meetings! The shark part of my Shark 3D socks are 10… Continue reading Progress, But Not a Lot
