Cowl Progress
I got a little bit done on the cowl design today. Not a lot, but some. It’s just about to get interesting, I think. I hope, anyway!

TGIF!
Managed to get some knitting time in this evening, and got some done on my Find Your Fade. I’m a few rows into the Gin and Tonic section, and am really loving the color so far! The yarn is Madelinetosh’s Tosh Merino Light, and I am really enjoying this yarn. The colors are gorgeous, and… Continue reading TGIF!
Back Where I Started
Have been making decent progress on the redo on my cowl design. The changes I was thinking about that caused the redo are working out pretty well. This yarn is very different from the yarn I started with – that was all silk and was very fluid and flowy. This is tightly spun wool, and… Continue reading Back Where I Started
Do Over
That pretty yarn I started designing my cowl with – It does not like to be frogged. Not at all. And since this designing thing is likely to be a bit of a process, I frogged as carefully as I could, then put it aside for once I have the design finalized. I’ll use it… Continue reading Do Over
Continuing to Fade Away
My Find Your Fade continues on! I just finished with the French Toast (lavender) and am going into two sections of the Gin and Tonic (light blue) shown here. And other than a little noodling around with gauge swatched and caking up some skeins for small other projects, that’s pretty much what I got accomplished… Continue reading Continuing to Fade Away

And I mentioned that though I technically completed the exercise, I felt like I had a bit more to learn from it. So I started a second swatch with different yarn and a bit more randomness built into… Continue reading Not as Random as I Thought
Stripes All Over the Place
I’m not particularly a stripe fan. They are OK here or there, but by and large, stripes are not my thing. For all of that, the last couple days all my knitting has been all stripes all the time! First, I have gotten a bit more done on my Find Your Fade, but am still… Continue reading Stripes All Over the Place
Within Slightly Larger Limits
I just got my week 4 Knitting Season exercises finished and blocked! For this one, I took the 4×4 exercises from week 3 and expanded on them a bit. I did fewer patterns, but did more experimenting. The bottom pattern just added an extra row between cable rows to give it a bit more room.… Continue reading Within Slightly Larger Limits
A Little of This
In between all the Knitting Season exercises and all the other stuff going on, I have been getting in a little work on my Find Your Fade. This evening I finally got to another color! I will be alternating the French Toast (lavender) and Gin and Tonic (blue) for a few rows, than on to… Continue reading A Little of This
