Friday Eve FO
My quickie hat is done! The yarn is some bulky weight yarn that I got from Ms. Monster in a yarn destash she did a little while ago. It is one of her yarns, but did not come with a tag, so I don’t know what the colorway is. I didn’t use a pattern. It… Continue reading Friday Eve FO
Wednesday WIPs
My remaining two active projects are moving along, and I started what will hopefully be a little quick one! The It’s All Right mobius cowl is moving along. 23 rows left to do on it! Unfortunately, they are very long rows. But I’m hopeful I can get it done within the next week. The pencil… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Grooviness Completed
I finished my Op Tiki scarf! The pattern is Op Tiki (Ravelry link). I have been wanting to do this pattern for a while, and am very happy with how it turned out. This is a slip stitch pattern, which is pretty intuitive once you have been through a repeat once. It is a pretty… Continue reading Grooviness Completed
Knitter’s Bookshelf: Keepers of the Sheep
Keepers of the Sheep is an interesting newish book which I believe is self-published by the author, Irene Waggener. The author worked with people from a village (Timloukine) in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco to learn about their knitting traditions and their culture, and came away with a wealth of information. The book is… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Keepers of the Sheep
Busy Saturday!
Today started like the last two days – up way too early for a Vogue Knitting Live class – this one was on Distitch, taught by the technique inventor Assia Brill. I don’t want to give too much away, but essentially you are knitting through two layers of stitches, which results in a somewhat thicker… Continue reading Busy Saturday!
Baltic Binge at VK Live
Another month, another Vogue Knitting Live! This month, I lined up early morning classes for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. How early? 10 – 12 Eastern time, which is 6 – 8 Alaska time. Plus side I didn’t have to take any time off from work. Minus side – that means getting up at 5:30, which… Continue reading Baltic Binge at VK Live
Wednesday WIPs
I’ve been getting a lot done on my current projects, but they are biggish ones, so it just looks kind of like more of the same. You can just about tell where the blocking stopped, can’t you? Op Tiki (Ravelry link) is coming along – I think I have two more repeats to go! The… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Sock It To Me Monday
The stationery set is coming along! The “paper” sock is done, and boy is it a long one! It’s a little less than knee length. I did have to make a bit of a change at the end. The yarn has a little stripe of medium red toward the end – it wasn’t enough to… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
