I’ve got two projects going right now, and making decent progress on both! This is a hat I’m making for my Mom – the pattern is Rooftop Landing (Ravelry link). I bought this kit from my LYS. The pattern came with the yarn from Polka Dot Sheep – it is Ski Town Sport, and the… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I had a little FO this week, my Cetraria Islandica cowl! The pattern and kit are by Helene Magnusson, aka The Icelandic Knitter. The main yarn (the brown) is unspun plotulopi, which is interesting to knit with. I had to be a lot more delicate with it than I generally am with yarn. The resulting… Continue reading Friday FO: Cetraria Islandica
This has been a busy week in crafting! I started a new pullover, Melville (Ravelry link). I like a lot about this pattern. First of all, I love Moby Dick, which it is referencing a lot. I love the colorwork pattern of the waves and the whale (though the pattern shows a baleen whale and… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
OMG – Powdermill is finally done! I started this cardigan 1/1/2023 as a KAL with Alissa of Alissa Makes, so it’s been in the works for a little over 2 years now. It spent part of that time in time-out while I worked on other stuff, but still. That’s a long time to work on… Continue reading Friday FO – Powdermill!
One of the fun things I did late in 2024 was take an online class with Felix Ford on journaling your year. It involves doing a journal wrap up of your year, which could be just a simple listing of all the things you did each month to something a lot more elaborate. I’ve been… Continue reading 2024 Wrap Up

First sleeve and collar – done! Second sleeve started, and stitches picked up to do the first button band. I’ve… Continue reading Powdermill Report
I cannot believe a whole week has gone by! It’s been busy, but looking back I can’t really say what I was busy with. I can say I was partially busy with knitting. Still on the first sleeve of my Powdermill, but making progress! Also I started a smaller second project, the Cetraria Islandica cowl.… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Current progress on Powdermill! Traveling along on Sleeve Island pretty well! I am changing the sleeves a bit. In the pattern, they are straight and then balloon at the cuffs. I don’t love that style, so I am doing a very gradual decrease as I go until it gets to a reasonable width, then I’ll… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
The pattern is Homage to the Granny Square from an online class on color theory and crochet from Sue Maton of the Mercerie. I learned a lot about color theory and crochet in creating this afghan. The process is to choose 5 colors for the center that grade from one to another. I went from… Continue reading Friday FO: Homage to the Granny Square Done!
