Still plugging away at Melville! The body and neckline are done and there’s just a few more rows to do on the ribbing, then the sleeves. I am going to start one sleeve tomorrow and hopefully make good progress. They are plain stockinette with a little bit of texture here and there, so they should… Continue reading And Then There Was One
The pattern is Worst Witch shawl, designed by Vanessa Ewing of Cape May Fiber Co. and the yarn is a mini set of the same name, also from Vanessa. This was a fun knit – just complicated enough to keep it interesting, but not too complicated either. I love the autumn vibes of this shawl,… Continue reading Worst Witch Shawl Done!
I’m pretty late with this post, because things have been a little nutty. However, here are my reading stats from March I have set myself and admittedly modest goal of reading 25 books this year and am making good progress on that. March especially was a good month.

And then of course there’s the ribbing and neckband and sleeves, but I feel like the complicated part is almost done, so that feels like good… Continue reading Weekly WIPs
For some reason, May is a month with a lot of fiber arts related challenges going on. Just for fun, I will see how many of them I can participate in without making any serious effort. Me-Made-May has been around for a while, and is just a challenge to wear and share images of yourself… Continue reading A Challenging Month
Two current projects going right now – Melville, and a new shawl. Melville is moving along really well. I am 2/3 of the way through the colorwork now, so making good progress. I love the contrast between the dark and light colors, and the fabric is so soft. This will be great to wear in… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
April has been a busy month so far! First, I went on a trip with some wonderful friends to Salem, MA for the Fiber Witch Festival. This was a fun fiber and yarn fest with a witchy vibe. Because – Salem. We got there a day or two early so we had plenty of time… Continue reading Back Again!
