On the right day for once! I’m mostly just working on the same two projects as last week. I have finished a few more knitted jewelry pieces and national park blocks, but will talk about those another day. I feel a little bit like Sam and Frodo climbing Mt. Doom with this initial part of… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
The Art of Landscape Knitting by Anne Le Brocq is an interesting knitting book that gives you knitting block or repeat patterns that represent different types of terrain or things you would see in nature. Le Brocq is a geographer as well as a knitter, so she has a unique insight into different types of… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: The Art of Landscape Knitting
For whatever reason, I just was not able to get my act together earlier this week. However, I do have some progress on my WIPS! It doesn’t really look like it, but Melville is moving along! Only about 10 more rows and I can divide off the sleeves. That will be nice, because this is… Continue reading Sadly No Alliteration WIPs

The yarn is Polka Dot Sheep Ski Town Sport in the Nessie (green) and Beargrass (natural) colorways. This is a very nice pattern and a pretty easy knit. It has a folded… Continue reading Four FOs!
All my projects are moving right along! I’m pretty well along on my Melville sweater yoke. I don’t have many more rows to do, but the rows are so long now! It will be good to get the sleeves separated out and get going on the colorwork! Good progress on my Mom’s Rooftop Landing hat… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs

They mainly eat seeds and corn off the ground, but will bonk their heads on the feeders to make more food fall on the ground 🙂 We knew they were coming around because there are… Continue reading Livestock Report
