Yes, sorry – another sleeve joke 🙂 That’s what I have been working on – sleeves. Although these are short (elbow length) sleeves, they seem to be taking forever to knit. In reality, it’s been a little less than a week. It just feels like so much longer! Two more inches to go, then I… Continue reading A Call to Arms
I once again spent the weekend making something for my sheep doll rather than doing any serious knitting for myself, or indeed anything much else at all. Although I do in fact have the kit for her next official pattern, I decided to try my hand at designing something for her myself – a pareo!… Continue reading Dolores is Beach-Ready!
The Gray Cardigan fronts are done and sort of blocking! As you can tell from these photos, by “blocking” I mean I soaked them and then squeezed most of the water out of them, and then patted them more or less into shape on my washer and dryer, where they will lay until they are… Continue reading Fronts and Center!
Here she is, enjoying the early autumn weather in her new outfit!
This week’s work trip is to scenic Kenai Alaska! Yesterday afternoon a coworker and I drove down from Anchorage (well, she drove). We had a typical mix of weather from rain squalls to sunshine, and it ended up being a nice day! I didn’t take pictures the whole way, as it’s a couple hour long… Continue reading This Week’s Trip

So far we’ve got her dress, slouchy hat, and 1 of 2 legwarmers done! Did not have time to do the second tonight because I leave for a work trip tomorrow and had tons of things to do to get… Continue reading Ready for Rhinebeck!
The back is done for my Gray Cardigan! I do still need to block it, but I don’t think that’s going to take me too long. It moved along really quickly! I have been bringing it along with me to work on at lunch, and also on the ride into work and home again, and… Continue reading Gray Cardigan has a Back
For the moment, Dolores and her wardrobe are my weekend project, and the Gray Cardigan are going to be my weekday thing. This weekend I fixed her eyes and added a bit more wool to the top of her head… I like her eyes much better – before they were a little uneven and didn’t… Continue reading Dolores Enhancements
I’m making good progress on the back so far – have gotten up to the armhole decrease already! When I was originally thinking about this sweater, I thought I might add a little textural interest by doing a little blip of purl stitches here and there. However, the thick/thin nature of the yarn is already… Continue reading The Gray Cardigan Progresses
