Far North Yarn Company
There are a couple pretty good yarn shops in Anchorage. Wooly Mammoth downtown is kind of high-end, but is the place to go for all-Alaskan yarn. Quilt Tree/Yarn Branch is good if you are bi-craftual, but they seem more quilty than they are yarny. In my opinion, Far North Yarn Company is the best LYS… Continue reading Far North Yarn Company
Felting – On Purpose
Many knitters are introduced to the concept of felting via a laundry mishap followed by tears and recriminations. I took a class – less stress 🙂 I just finished a class at my LYS, Far North Yarn Company, on making felted slippers. You may be familiar with the pattern. As of the time I am… Continue reading Felting – On Purpose
Totally Focused…Look! A Squirrel!
In the week since I last talked about how well my standing projects were going, I have had a rich array of distractions, some of which have joined my list of existing projects. The Twinkle has not moved since last weekend. I have made a little progress on the socks, though not a whole lot…… Continue reading Totally Focused…Look! A Squirrel!
Weekend WIPs
Well, it’s been an interesting week, knitwise! I signed up to be a test knitter, and have been taking a class on felting – both new experiences for me. And you will be reading more about those later. But while all that was going on, I did get some progress in on my ongoing projects. … Continue reading Weekend WIPs
Weekend WIPs
Since my brief fling with big, thick yarn, I am back in the weeds of fingering weight again. I have two things going, because apparently I am insane. First up – socks! There’s no really pattern on this one, I’m just doing more soxual experimentation. These are kind of pink for me, but what the… Continue reading Weekend WIPs
Hooray for Super Bulky!
2018 is off to a pretty productive start! Last Sunday, I sat down to watch a Craftsy class and made this… The pattern is Ribby Slouchy Beanie, and it is free on Knit Collage’s website. The yarn is Daisy Chain by Knit Collage, which is why the little daisies are on there. That is not… Continue reading Hooray for Super Bulky!
Knitting Goals – 2018 edition
Right around this time last year, I boldly declared that 2017 would be my Year of Colorwork. I did 2 small colorwork projects, and then promptly stalled on my first big project for the year, which remains unfinished to this day. 2017 quickly devolved into my Year of Continuous Distraction, with my knitting projects taking… Continue reading Knitting Goals – 2018 edition
Geeked Out
It. Is. Done! Sides 1 and 2, completed, put together, and very basic edging applied! I still have an end or two to weave in, and also think I should probably block it somehow. Anyway – very happy with how it turned out. For interested and geeky parties, the 2018 afghan is starting up later… Continue reading Geeked Out
