For the first time in a long time, I have just one WIP going right now – my Betwixt shawl. I’m done with the mosaic part and starting on the lace! The plan is to finish this project off, then move on to a couple other things. Hoping to be done with this by the… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
The pattern is Roam*, and the yarn is Silky Solo in the Boheme colorway. I will say this yarn is a little splitty, but it has a really beautiful sheen. It kind of balances out 🙂 I really enjoyed knitting this project. It is a nice mix of stockinette with bursts of pattern knitting. The… Continue reading Roam* Finished!
DH and I were just off for a short getaway, so while I do have knitting news to report, it’s not photo-ready quite yet. What I did want to talk about is a show I have been watching and book I recently read.

I’m trying out some tea sample boxes from a new-to-me online tea shop – Sips by. Their big thing seems to monthly subscriptions, but that isn’t what I did, at least not yet.

My Fright Night socks are done! They turned out pretty well, and I’m thrilled to have them done in time for Halloween 🙂 The stitching is a little loose in the colorwork section, but I suspect that will even out once they are blocked.
In the end I went up to US 2.5 needles for the colorwork part and knitted really loosely, but it fits! Once the colorwork was done I went to a 1.5 for the ribbing, and have about another inch and a half on that. Yaaaayyy! And then I have to finish the other one, of… Continue reading Third Time Lucky
26 happy years with this guy…Dave, not the animatronic dinosaur 🙂 We had a nice dinner out last night and have a short weekend getaway planned for a few weeks from now, and he sent me our usual spooky/cute anniversary flowers I’m hoping for another 26!
My Betwixt shawl is moving along! I’m just starting the big pattern band toward the end of the mosaic section. It’s an enjoyable knit so far, and I’m happy with how it’s turning out 🙂
