I’m just starting the webbing on the first sleeve! I had done 5 or so rows on it, then realized I had messed up the spacing. So I took it back to where I started, did some mathing, and now I think it’s right. It’s not going to narrow very much, because by this end… Continue reading Arachne Progress
In October 2017, I bought and read a book called Dimensional Tuck Knitting by Tracy Purtscher, which is about a new technique she developed for creating texture in knitted fabric. Today I took another day off from production knitting to just play around, and this time I finally got around to trying out some of… Continue reading Just 2 1/2 Years Later
As usual, please forgive the terrible indoor nighttime light. It’s not done done – it’s blocking right now, and I need to weave in a few ends. But mostly, it’s done!

Vogue Knitting Live’s virtual event is going on this week! It sold out pretty quickly, and I missed out on several classes I wanted to take while I was fumbling with my calendar to see if there were any weekdays I would be able to take off. However, I did manage to snag two classes… Continue reading Virtual VK Live!
Now that I’m at the stockinette part, it is sailing right along!
Temple of Flora is moving right along! I’m about 12 rows away from done with the right “wing”, then onto the left. Then it gets a sort of collar, some edging treatment, and done! So a lot more, really. But with mostly focusing on this, hopefully this week or more likely next week it should… Continue reading Temple of Flora Progress
