I’ve had a little bit of activity this past weekend. First I finished a pair of slippers for my Mom, which she is happy with and consequently so am I 🙂 Then a little bit of reality intruded on my grand plans. Remember the Princess Line sweater of last year fame? That I started out… Continue reading Frogging, Thrumming, and Dithering
Well, it’s been a week of getting things done! So far this week I have finished my Valentine’s Day socks, which went pretty well. The yarn is from Gnome Acres, and the color is I Lurve Ewe, one of her Valetine/Galentine colors. I bought the yarn a couple of years ago and just now got… Continue reading Friday FOs!
Wishing you a soxy Valentine’s Day!

There’s no really pattern on this one, I’m just doing more soxual experimentation. These are kind of pink for me, but what the… Continue reading Weekend WIPs
2018 is off to a pretty productive start! Last Sunday, I sat down to watch a Craftsy class and made this… The pattern is Ribby Slouchy Beanie, and it is free on Knit Collage’s website. The yarn is Daisy Chain by Knit Collage, which is why the little daisies are on there. That is not… Continue reading Hooray for Super Bulky!
It. Is. Done! Sides 1 and 2, completed, put together, and very basic edging applied! I still have an end or two to weave in, and also think I should probably block it somehow. Anyway – very happy with how it turned out. For interested and geeky parties, the 2018 afghan is starting up later… Continue reading Geeked Out
