The next project I start is still going to be the Findhorn Wrap, but now I’m rethinking my yarns. I had planned on using these colors: But those really aren’t colors I wear most of the year, and I would be struggling to wear it. So instead I’m planning on these: The black and gray… Continue reading Rethinking My Rethink
Sorry for the long break – life got a little crazy. Also, I was only working on one project so I could get it finished, and it took basically forever, so it didn’t feel like there was much progress to report. However, finally it is done! The pattern is Lustrous Shawl by Noma Ndlovu, and… Continue reading Finally an FO
With my cowl and DH’s socks done, I have one project left on the needles right now – my Lustrous Shawl. I’ve got 2 repeats done out of 37, so there’s a while to go yet. However, it does decrease throughout, so it will get easier as it goes. It feels weird just having one… Continue reading Lustrous Shawl
I got my Lustrous Shawl started today, and got one pattern repeat done! This is a lovely pattern and lovely yarn, and though I’m barely into it at this point, I’m enjoying this knit 🙂 How is your weekend going? Getting much relaxing in?
The August project for the Confident Knitting club is the Lustrous shawl, designed by Noma Ndlovu, and the technique this month is reversible cables. Is that a swatch you see? Yes it is, though I generally don’t do them for accessories. However, we were advised to do a swatch, as the amount of yarn doesn’t… Continue reading What’s Next?

I’m not sure what… Continue reading FO Finally
I abandoned my other two projects for the last couple days in hopes of getting the second Burnished mitten done by the end of the month. I might just make it! Do you ever impose random deadlines on yourself for no good reason? Do tell!
In addition to DH’s socks, I have two ongoing projects, both of which are moving along. My second Burnished mitten is around halfway done. I’ve got maybe 15 more rows until the thumb separation, then the hand and thumb. I was hoping to get this done by the end of July. Maybe that will happen?… Continue reading Wednesday WIPS
In addition to the DH’s socks of earlier post fame, I’ve got two projects on the needles right now. The Cemetery Drive cowl is moving along. I like the yarn colors together a lot, and it is a pretty straightforward pattern. So far, so good! The first Burnished mitten is done, and got a little… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
