I’m going to start with something a little off topic – PBS’s The Great American Read! To give a broad overview, this is an 8 part series about America’s 100 best-loved books. The launch special introducing the books and the series concept just aired. Meredith Viera hosts the series, which is basically about how awesome… Continue reading Great American Read & Glenesk
With the body knitted and the shoulder seams done, the next step on Glenesk was to cut the arm steeks and start the sleeves. Cut? Knitting? Yes. I know – it freaked me out too, but it really isn’t hard. Other than emotionally. Emotionally it is very, very hard. Physically, not so much. To answer… Continue reading Eek – Steeks!
Finally done with the body of my Glenesk! Excuse the horrible picture – waited until it was dark out and had to use weird indoor lighting. Better pictures to come! I just finished the body today. The last step was to do a three needle bind-off for the shoulders. Done and done! Then came the next… Continue reading Body of Work
This was an absolutely crazy week in a lot of ways, yet I still managed to make at least a little progress on all my WIPs! First, Glenesk is moving along nicely. I have added in the steek* stitches for the sleeves and started decreasing for the V-neck, so am maybe 3/4 of the way… Continue reading Weekly WIP Report
Most of this weekend was devoted to making a bit more progress on Glenesk And I actually got the second repeat done! Other than that, I am going on a short work trip this week, so had to spend some time figuring out what project I am taking with me. It can’t be either Glenesk… Continue reading Weekend Update

Sci-fi and a few other genres are also good, but mysteries are always our favorite. So because we all needed to relax this… Continue reading Murder on the Glenesk Express
Progress continues slow but steady on all fronts. First – Glenesk is moving right along. 1st pattern repeat done, and about a quarter of the way through the second. Next, I’m making progress on Twinkle, but it is going s o o o o o o slooooooowwwwwww! Realistically, I’m 70% there, by weight of the… Continue reading Progress Report
Making decent progress on Glenesk so far – what you are looking at is one repeat of the pattern. Now I just have to do that one and a half more times, and I add the steek stitches for the sleeves and start decreasing for the V neck. And then sleeves and the neck &… Continue reading Glenesk – Moving Right Along
Progress continues on all fronts, if a little slowed down because I let myself get spread too thin again! For the moment, I have decided that DH’s slippers will be the weeknight project, because short bursts of knitting time will work fine for them, Twinkle is the workday lunch project for similar reasons, and Glenesk… Continue reading Twinkle and Glenesk
