I’m in just the third month of my Custom Fit subscription, which gives me two (2) personalized patterns a month for a year. All I have to do is knit up swatches of the yarn I am going to use for those sweaters or vests, and get in there and generate the patterns. Guess what?… Continue reading Who Swatches the Swatchmen?
My Schooner has a back! Or ‘stern’ in nautical boat talk. But in any case – it’s blocking now – very happy with how it is turning out 🙂 Whew! Almost halfway done! Schooner is a tank, so I just need to knit the front, sew the two halves together, then knit some ribbing around… Continue reading Schooner Progress
By my own knitting project rotation schedule, I should have been working on my Schooner today. However, it was such a gray, overcast and colorless day outside that I decided on my Find Your Fade instead. I even managed to sneak in a couple of rows at lunch. My coworkers loved the colors – one… Continue reading Fading the Gray Away
I have been working away on my Schooner, but it all looks like a bit more of this… So the same as before, just a bit more of it! In other news – hope everyone who celebrates had a Merry Christmas? Ours was pretty nice. We got to sleep in (since we have no kids,… Continue reading Knit knit knit

Best wishes to everyone for a very Merry Christmas and/or winter celebration of your choice! I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with peace, joy, love and fun 🙂

I think a lot of people in my department are off on Monday, so I thought I’d… Continue reading Random Festiveness
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I signed up for Kate Davies latest pattern club, which somehow or the other incorporates bullet journaling. Also, lately a lot of the knitting sights seem to be all about bullet journaling – Mason Dixon sells a journal and recently published several articles about it. Webs is selling… Continue reading Bullet Journal Train
Schooner is coming along – I’m a few inches past where I had to rip back, so I’m happy with that. Now it’s just straight stockinette for what will likely feel about like forever, then a bit of excitement binding off a few stitches for the armholes, then on to the shoulders. On the one… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
