Right now, I’ve only got one thing on the needles other than DH’s socks – my Cemetery Drive cowl! I’ve got a little bit of colorwork yet to do, then the top ribbing. It’s a fun knit, and I’m very happy with how it’s turning out! Have any works in progress? And if so, how… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
Surprise random project finish! Today I finished my desk project that I keep at work for lunch breaks and other opportunities to sneak a quick bit of knitting. The pattern is Rock Climbing in Vegas, and I got it free with the yarn purchase from Sin City Yarn Shop. It is a very easy pattern… Continue reading Rock Climbing in Vegas
Before we left on our trip last week, I spent a fair amount of time fretting about what projects to take along with me, coming up with pros and cons for all the possibilities.

That pretty yarn I started designing my cowl with – It does not like to be frogged. Not at all. And since this designing thing is likely to be a bit of a process, I frogged as carefully as I could, then put it aside for once I have the design finalized. I’ll use it… Continue reading Do Over
Tuck Stitch Cowl #2 is finally done! The yarns are Freia Ombre Grande and A Tree Hugger’s Wife Soft DK. I didn’t really have a pattern, just used a stitch pattern and a generic number of stitches to work it on. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, and also happy to be done… Continue reading Something’s Finally Done!
I finally got a chance to make a little progress on my second tuck stitch cowl! The yarns are kind of close in value on this end of the gradient (the pinky purple yarn), but hopefully it’s enough contrast that it will turn out OK. I’m a little afraid to check it out in the… Continue reading Tuck Stitch Cowl 2 Progress
