This Shawl Goes On and On – It Does Not End
Friends, the second half of this Just Beachy shawl is the shawl that never ends. I am just 4 rows away from joining this half with the other one. 4! But OMG are they long rows. And then there’s 62 half rows on the other side of this triangle from the join, but I’m not… Continue reading This Shawl Goes On and On – It Does Not End
What’s Next
Later this week I will do a WIP update, but I’d rather think about what’s next! My next two projects will be a second version of Ocean Moon (Ravelry link), which I did do last spring. But this year it’s in a radically different color scheme So it’ll really be more of an Ocean Sunrise… Continue reading What’s Next
Wednesday WIPs
It’s been a while again since I posted last – I keep meaning to post much more regularly but life is getting away from me right now. Oh well, I’ll just keep trying! In the meantime, I now have TWO WIPs on my needles! Almost back up to normal count but not quite there yet.… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs

2022 – A Look Back In Horror*
Although 2022 was definitely not the best year ever, for me it had a lot of good. I got to go on some fun trips, including to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Fest with some wonderful friends. I got to visit other parts of Wisconsin earlier in the year, as well as a few shorter… Continue reading 2022 – A Look Back In Horror*
Last FO of 2022
My Mom’s Flombre mittens are done! They are to go with the Flombre hat I knit a little earlier this year She very kindly wove the ends in, as I am pretty lazy about that. So that is my last FO for the year. Tomorrow I cast on a new cardigan, and continue on with… Continue reading Last FO of 2022
Mitten Monday
I am really loving the alliteration right now 🙂 I’ve got two projects on the go right now – the Just Beachy shawl and the Flombre mittens. I’d like to finish one or the other of them by the year end, and it certainly won’t be the shawl. So I’ve set that aside for the… Continue reading Mitten Monday
Saturday Sweaterday!
My cardigan is finally done!! Patten is Drops 106-11 Jacket with Shawl Collar. (Ravelry link) The yarn is Tivoli Collezione S. Charles (?) 52% silk and 48% kid mohair, so it is beautifully drapey. It was just plain white, but Alissa of Headknits custom dyed it for me. She used a very cool technique that… Continue reading Saturday Sweaterday!
