Ixchel – Moon Phases Done!
I finished the moon phases design sector of my Ixchel! One more little band of stars, then the sleeves get separated off from the body. Making progress!

After the great experience I had making my gray cardigan (of earlier post fame), I had been giving a lot of thought to getting a subscription to Amy Herzog’s Custom Fit site. I had been kind of thinking about it for a while, but given how well my CF experimental sweater turned out, it was… Continue reading NightSwatch
Movie Kind of Day
I did actually get a lot of knitting in today, but am going to wait until I’m done with my current pattern section to post a pic. (It will look cooler that way 😉 ) Today started off with my Mom and I going to see The House with the Clock in its Walls. DH… Continue reading Movie Kind of Day
Ixchel Again
Still moving along with Ixchel I spent a lot of today doing some cleaning and also decorating for Halloween, so didn’t get to focus on it as much as I might have otherwise. Also, the yoke size is increasing, like they do, so each row takes a little while. However – it’s moving along! Still… Continue reading Ixchel Again
Progress Notes
Ixchel progresses! It’s coming along pretty well, and I’m enjoying watching the colors reveal themselves! There are a lot of repeats of smallish patterns between the big central ones on the front and back, so it’s just interesting enough to keep me out of trouble 🙂 It is moving along pretty quickly, too!
Stash Management
Ixchel is coming along nicely – will do an update in a day or two when there’s enough progress to show up 🙂 In the meantime, I wanted to share how I organize my yarn stash. I have felt a little weird talking about this, because I don’t know that it’s of interest to anyone. … Continue reading Stash Management
Ixchel!
As yet more proof that I can be thrown off my plan by almost anything, this week I started knitting the Ixchel (apparently pronounced ee-SHELL), a pattern that did not exist in my world up until a month ago or so. This in spite of having kits in my possession for up to three years… Continue reading Ixchel!
VK Live 3 – Last Post on This, I Swear
Before I stop going on about VK Live in San Francisco, I did want to tell you about the two other classes I took. Saturday morning was Color Interaction in Fair Isle, which was taught by Mary Jane Mucklestone. She gave us each 6 skeins of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift (there was a materials fee for… Continue reading VK Live 3 – Last Post on This, I Swear
VK Live 2 – The Shoppening
In addition to the classes and the pervasive knittiness in the air, the other great thing about this event was the shopping. The vendor room was BIG – a whole grand ballroom – and the list of vendors was 2 double-column pages long. So much yarn! Of course, not every shop was going to be… Continue reading VK Live 2 – The Shoppening
