I’m taking a short break from my shawl design to work on my Forest Weave. It is coming along pretty nicely! For some reason I had a real burst of speed this evening and got through about 10 rows, which is unheard of progress for me for a work night. Just 7 more rows to… Continue reading Back to the Forest
Section 2 of the beaded version of my new shawl design (NSD) is done, and moving into section 3! The pattern and beading should stand out a bit more after blocking 🙂 The yarn and beads for section 3… Hoping to get through section 3 by Friday, then I plan to get back at Forest… Continue reading More Beads
I got a lot of knitting time in this weekend, in between chores and errands and just plain goofing off. Am about 3/4 done with the front of my Forest Weave. Just part of a pattern repeat to finish, then binding off and on to the back! It will open out quite a bit when… Continue reading Progress Report
Today was a pretty good day as far as getting some knitting done! Most of that was on my Forest Weave, but not all of it. Around midafternoon I realized I had complete flaked on my Custom Fit subscription for at least one, and possibly two, months. I have until the 31st to generate this… Continue reading Swatching on the High Seas
The second section of my new shawl design is done! It’s coming together pretty well so far, though I have had some struggles here and there. I plan to work on Forest Weave the rest of the weekend, then on to the third section of my design. Have any plans for the long Memorial Day… Continue reading New Shawl Design Part 2

If I can stay on track with it OK, It should be done in a couple of weeks. There are just two big rectangles – back and front, and then two… Continue reading Project Progress
Another day of not much exciting, knitwise. I got a few hours to knit this evening while re-watching the last couple seasons of Venture Brothers. Was able to get a couple more inches done on my Forest Weave, so it’s starting to look like something! A bit, anyway. This pattern is really pretty straightforward. Just… Continue reading Weaving Along
Not too much exciting to report on the knitting front today – got to do a good bit on Forest Weave, though not enough to look like it quite yet 🙂 Still enjoying the color quite a bit, and still not having problems with my hands at all, even with the yarn being linen. Kind… Continue reading Just Another Day
Forest Weave is off to a start! It doesn’t look like much yet, just crumpled up stitches. The big cables start pretty early, and the piece is going to take soaking and blocking before it opens out, I think. I am liking working with this yarn! I was a little concerned, because it is DK… Continue reading Forest Weave
