Not a lot accomplished on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks this week, I’m afraid. Between getting the brioche scarf done and starting Dolores’ pumpkin outfit and other random chores, I haven’t had a lot of patience for them. But starting tomorrow night, I’m getting at them! This evening I wound up doing a little stash… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Just one more pass on the last row here, then the bind off, and this scarf is DONE! It has been an enjoyable knit, if a little repetitive. But it’s taught me a few more brioche moves that I think will let me make most of the things I eventually want to make. I have… Continue reading So Close!
I am a crazy Halloween lady. It is my favorite holiday by far. October 1st is the official start of the Halloween season for me, and it goes on until a couple days into November. So when I found out that yarn dyers were starting to do Halloween yarn advent sets, chaos ensued. So many… Continue reading Crazy Halloween Lady
Not much to report on the knitting front. We had a lot of little errands to run and things to do today, so did not get as much knitting done as I wanted to.

Having just done this pattern, it is going pretty… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

One nice thing about this project is that being a scarf it’s long enough to show you the light and… Continue reading Brioche Again
Not a lot to report on the knitting front. The socks are progressing, but not in any really dramatic way quite yet. The brioche scarf is progressing pretty well also. I’m about 2.5 pattern repeats along out of 7. It is very cushy and I think will be nice to wear. Also, I’m getting good… Continue reading Brioche Progress
Here is the progress so far on my SIL’s socks This is another pair of the Soft Pretzel socks of earlier post fame. They are definitely moving along pretty quickly. My SIL has basically the same foot measurements as me, so all the math is done from the last time. Only a few more inches… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Cooler weather is here, and that means our sweaters are back! They go into a drawer (or two) when it gets warm in the summer and I halfway forget they are there. Then fall comes around again, and it’s exciting to see them again.
