Fading Back In
Took a break from exercises tonight to pick back up with my Find Your Fade. It has been so gray and cold and bleah, I needed a shot of color!

A Hex On Your Motifs Part 2
A couple weeks ago, I wrote about how I was attempting to design knitting motifs based on hex signs. The exercise is part of the Knitting Seasons creativity thing I have been doing. The hex signs are because I am from eastern Pennsylvania, and am in fact of Pennsylvania German heritage. So hex signs were… Continue reading A Hex On Your Motifs Part 2
Knitting Season Week 2
Sorry for the couple day absence – like much of the US we have been swept up in Marie Kondoing our house. It is much more physically and emotionally exhausting than the show makes it look 🙂 We are taking it pretty slowly, but making some progress. Undoubtedly this is going to take a while.… Continue reading Knitting Season Week 2
Knitting Season Progress
A little more sense is arising from the yarny chaos of earlier this week. One thing is moving along more or less as I had hoped, one is going back to the drawing board, and one is just interesting.

I am taking my inspiration for this assignment from eastern Pennsylvania, my point of origin. For a while now, I have thought that some of the imagery from hex signs and related folk art… Continue reading Creativity starting…Now!
Schooner to the Frog Pond
So. Schooner. Tried it on this morning, as I have a tiny little bit of finishing left to do, and I was getting pretty excited to have it to wear later this week. Not. Flattering. Not a little not flattering. Very, very much not flattering. This is tremendously disappointing, as I could really use it… Continue reading Schooner to the Frog Pond
Next!
Time to take a short break from relentlessly going on about what I’m knitting now by taking a look at what I plan to knit next! Directly next are swatches for this month and next month’s Custom Fit patterns. In looking through my stash, I discovered that I had 2 sweater quantities each of two… Continue reading Next!
