Squirrel Progress
I had a little knitting time today – not as much as I would have liked. But anyway, I got a start on my Apple Swizzle hat. Not to the exciting part yet, but ready to get to it next time I work on it!
Squirrel!
So Forest Weave is coming along, shawl design is moving too – everything progressing nicely, aaaaand… Squirrel! It’s the start of a new month, so it’s time for a new Boost Your Knitting pattern! This is going to be another nifty one – dip stitches! This is where you pull extra loops of yarn up… Continue reading Squirrel!
Progress Report
I got a lot of knitting time in this weekend, in between chores and errands and just plain goofing off. Am about 3/4 done with the front of my Forest Weave. Just part of a pattern repeat to finish, then binding off and on to the back! It will open out quite a bit when… Continue reading Progress Report
Shawl Design v1 is Done!
Version 1 of my shawl design is done. Whew! It’s not DONE done, but close. I have been working on this design for a while, picking out stitch patterns for the different bands I had in mind, but hadn’t put them together. Before I tried this with good yarn, I wanted to do one quick… Continue reading Shawl Design v1 is Done!
Knitter’s Bookshelf: Knitting Nature
A recent visit to our fabulous local used bookstore (Title Wave) netted me a copy of a book I have been wondering about but had never looked at. This is Knitting Nature by Norah Gaughan. It is not a new book by any means, having been published in 2006. It consists of 39 patterns designed… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Knitting Nature
High Seas and Other Wacky Entertainment
I wrote a couple days ago about a shipboard murder mystery we were watching on Netflix called High Seas. We were about halfway through the series at that point. Well, we finished binge-watching the rest of the series Monday afternoon – it was pretty good! I won’t say spectacular, because there were bits that were… Continue reading High Seas and Other Wacky Entertainment
New Shawl Design – Section 3
It’s a crescent shawl, so it’s getting wider and wider, and the pattern bands are getting a little thinner 🙂 One more section to go, then the first version will be done! After this version finished, I am going to do a beaded version, then one in a different selection of yarns. Then it should… Continue reading New Shawl Design – Section 3
Swatching on the High Seas
Today was a pretty good day as far as getting some knitting done! Most of that was on my Forest Weave, but not all of it. Around midafternoon I realized I had complete flaked on my Custom Fit subscription for at least one, and possibly two, months. I have until the 31st to generate this… Continue reading Swatching on the High Seas
Yarn Chores
I didn’t get a whole lot of knitting in today. We had a little running around to do, and then when we got home, I had to get some yarn chores done. Mostly, this consisted of labeling balls of leftover yarn and putting them away. And gathering up stray skeins I got out of the… Continue reading Yarn Chores
