Well, so far so good. I finished my first project of the year (though to be fair, I did start it a few days before the end of 2016). Here it is – my Day of the Dead cowl… I’m pretty happy with it! The stripy border does have a tendency to flop over, as… Continue reading 2017 – How’s it going so far?
As promised – here are pics of my Waiting for Rain… For anyone who hasn’t seen this before, its claim to fame is a nifty short row lace technique. Interesting to work! Mine is done in various shades of Gnarledpaw yarn – Stormy and part of a Robust Blue ombre set. Close up of the… Continue reading Waiting for Rain
Today I finished the last of my biggish projects from this year – a Waiting for Rain shawl. It is blocking right now, and there will be pictures a little later today or tomorrow. 2016 saw a lot of projects started and finished, and a few interesting new knitting endeavors. I tried socks for the… Continue reading 2016 Wrap Up
Finally got something done! And here it is… Actually, I get stuff done all the time, but it feel like I have been working on Wink for a pretty long time. And I have – since early October. But in my defense, it is a pretty big sweater, and I did have a retreat… Continue reading Winking at Rivendell

And I made great progress on my Wink – about half a sleeve left to do! And then I got… Continue reading Fabulous Sampler Pattern Alert
It’s been a little while since I posted last. There are a couple of big projects I’ve been working on – Wink, Waiting for the Rain – but they, and posting, got put on the side for the past week. The design bug bit me again! I had a lovely skein of yarn from my… Continue reading Design of the Time
Whew! It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks since I last posted. Week before last, I was on a work trip, where no notable knit-related things happened. The trip was to a town without a yarn shop or much of a knitting community as far as I could see. However, I did finish two small… Continue reading Quite a Few Weeks
They’re dooooooooooonnnnnneee! For anyone curious about toe and heel construction, here you go! Short row toes and heels, ready to rock!
As it turns out, I didn’t need the mitten project along with me. These socks are taking forever to knit. In the general course of things, I don’t like wearing short socks. Knee length is about where I like them. However, that’s a lot of knitting. A day or so into this past week’s work… Continue reading Recalculating
