I got this finished yesterday and blocked overnight. It turned out just lovely! I was hoping for a sunny day for good photos, but it was a pretty cloudy day out, so this is the best light available. Which I guess is appropriate for this shawl, though we didn’t get any rainbows today. Anchorage skies… Continue reading Oregon Sky Done!
I’m done with my skirt! I’m very happy with how it turned out. It is based on the Simple Straight Skirt pattern from Churchmouse Yarns and Teas, though I took a lot of liberties with it. For one thing, I changed the hem to a garter stitch band. The pattern hem is a 2×2 rib,… Continue reading Simple Straight Skirt Done!
I have finished knitting the main part of my skirt – now for the finishing. I need to find or get some elastic for the waistband and sew that together, and I need to knit my pockets! The tough part of this is picking the pocket yarn. This is definitely coming out of stash, as… Continue reading Pockets!
Nothing finished to report today. I made some progress on my skirt, but it doesn’t look much different.

Guys, I am so sorry I didn’t think of this sooner – we should have started the KAL tomorrow! Friday the 13th, 2020 would have been perfect! But that sums up this year, doesn’t it? Well, for those that are interested, how does Saturday December 5 sound? If that doesn’t work, let me know when… Continue reading 2020 Dumpster Fire KAL
Oh, knitting world. Just when I make a firm decision not to buy anything for a while, you you throw something at me I can not resist. This time it was a four-pack of yarn from four different breeds of sheep along with a pattern that will allow you to really try them out. This… Continue reading Breed-Specific Fabulosity
