I haven’t had a lot of knitting time this week – general craziness at work and at home is mostly keeping me busy, and designing a motif for Knitting Seasons is taking up the rest of my time. But I have been getting a little work in on my Find Your Fade shawl. I’m at… Continue reading Fade Progress
This past Sunday we got our first creativity assignment for Kate Davies Knitting Season club, which involves creating our own motif. 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!
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

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!

I think it should start to go fast now! I just keep decreasing for the V-neck, do a few more… Continue reading Weekend Other WIP Report

The lavender color has so much pink in it that it looks like I’m still doing the fade striping, but I’m not – it’s all the lavender 🙂 I’ve still got several more rows of the garter section, then on to the next lace section, and so on to infinity.… Continue reading Weekend WIP Report
2018 was a year with a lot of firsts and also a few ends. I went to my first Vogue Knitting Live and had a great time. I tried a lot of new techniques and fibers and generally got fairly adventurous. As far as ends, two dyers that I loved and bought from often –… Continue reading 2018 Wrap-Up
My Schooner has a back! Or ‘stern’ in nautical boat talk. But in any case – it’s blocking now – very happy with how it is turning out 🙂 Whew! Almost halfway done! Schooner is a tank, so I just need to knit the front, sew the two halves together, then knit some ribbing around… Continue reading Schooner Progress
