Not much to report on the knitting front. We had a lot of little errands to run and things to do today, so did not get as much knitting done as I wanted to. Hopefully tomorrow will be a quiet, knit-filled day! What I did get done is a few more repeats on the Falling… Continue reading A Few Brioches More
The last time I mentioned my Perfect Blend shawl here was late July, but it hasn’t been hibernating. I took it to work and have been doing a bit here and a bit there as I have a minute over lunch. Although it hasn’t been long stretches of time all together, since I started I’ve… Continue reading Perfect Blend: An Odyssey
These are the Soft Pretzel socks from Knitters Brewing Company, and the yarn is their Sock-aholic Old No. 8 in Hoppiness. Not a lot to report with these guys – I’m about halfway up the foot at this point – close to where the gusset starts. Having just done this pattern, it is going pretty… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

We got a box from Webs! What is this stuff? It’s for making this… So I’m not the only Halloween fan in the house, I guess? Hope your weekend is the fun kind of crazy too!

I’m about 2.5 pattern repeats along out of 7. It is very cushy and I think will be nice to wear. Also, I’m getting good… Continue reading Brioche Progress
Here is the progress so far on my SIL’s socks This is another pair of the Soft Pretzel socks of earlier post fame. They are definitely moving along pretty quickly. My SIL has basically the same foot measurements as me, so all the math is done from the last time. Only a few more inches… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
This weekend my knitting time was focused on the Flying Leaves brioche scarf. This is the project I ordered yarn for, as I had nothing suitable in house for it. So the yarn I ordered turned out to be problematic. I utterly failed to be enchanted by this yarn combo. The yarn is fine. The… Continue reading Flying Brioche
Since yesterday’s post was about how my stash is out of control, today’s post is naturally about how somehow or another, I still don’t have quite all the yarn I could possibly need. This month’s Boost Your Knitting project is Flying Leaves, a brioche scarf designed to teach increases and decrease. I have done straight… Continue reading When the Stash Dive Turns Up Empty
