I just got a start on some socks for my DH over the weekend – it’s nice to have something completely plain to work on again! I am using my usual toe-up sock recipe, so these should go reasonably quickly. If you are a sock knitter, do you prefer toe-up or top-down, or are you… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: More Socks for DH
One effect of having only one project on the needs that I had not foreseen is that you don’t have much to blog about. Well, anyway, here’s more of that one project I’m working on! I’m about halfway done with the lace, so making good progress! I am rethinking my next project though. I was… Continue reading More Betwixt Progress
For the first time in a long time, I have just one WIP going right now – my Betwixt shawl. I’m done with the mosaic part and starting on the lace! The plan is to finish this project off, then move on to a couple other things. Hoping to be done with this by the… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
The pattern is Roam*, and the yarn is Silky Solo in the Boheme colorway. I will say this yarn is a little splitty, but it has a really beautiful sheen. It kind of balances out 🙂 I really enjoyed knitting this project. It is a nice mix of stockinette with bursts of pattern knitting. The… Continue reading Roam* Finished!
Now that the eternal Halloween socks are done, I decided to focus on my Betwixt shawl for this week. It won’t be finished by the end of the week, but I am making some good progress.

Once the colorwork was done I went to a 1.5 for the ribbing, and have about another inch and a half on that. Yaaaayyy! And then I have to finish the other one, of… Continue reading Third Time Lucky
My Betwixt shawl is moving along! I’m just starting the big pattern band toward the end of the mosaic section. It’s an enjoyable knit so far, and I’m happy with how it’s turning out 🙂
My two active projects right now, the Betwixt shawl and the Calico shawl, are moving along reasonably well! Calico is a little blurry here, but you get the idea. It’s at the phase where every row seems to take forever, but it won’t actually be that long until I’m binding off. In the meantime, I… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Well, that didn’t work. At least this time rather than waiting until I cast off to try my Fright Night socks on, I tried them on as I went. And yup, they are too tight again. This attempt was on needles up 1 size from what I used for the rest of the sock, and… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: 3rd Time Lucky?
