I finished the beaded version of new shawl section 1 of earlier post fame, in the originally intended color yarn 🙂 It’s pretty sparkly in the light, which I’m having trouble capturing. I’m juggling three projects now instead of just two, so it’s all moving a bit slower. However, the hat is a pretty small… Continue reading Now With Beads On!
So Forest Weave is coming along, shawl design is moving too – everything progressing nicely, aaaaand… Squirrel! It’s the start of a new month, so it’s time for a new Boost Your Knitting pattern! This is going to be another nifty one – dip stitches! This is where you pull extra loops of yarn up… Continue reading Squirrel!
I got a lot of knitting time in this weekend, in between chores and errands and just plain goofing off. Am about 3/4 done with the front of my Forest Weave. Just part of a pattern repeat to finish, then binding off and on to the back! It will open out quite a bit when… Continue reading Progress Report
Version 1 of my shawl design is done. Whew! It’s not DONE done, but close. I have been working on this design for a while, picking out stitch patterns for the different bands I had in mind, but hadn’t put them together.

After this version finished, I am going to do a beaded version, then one in a different selection of yarns. Then it should… Continue reading New Shawl Design – Section 3
The second section of my new shawl design is done! It’s coming together pretty well so far, though I have had some struggles here and there. I plan to work on Forest Weave the rest of the weekend, then on to the third section of my design. Have any plans for the long Memorial Day… Continue reading New Shawl Design Part 2
The people who thought up this passport and sticker thing for getting us fiber people to support endangered breed sheep were marketing geniuses! It really makes you (me, anyway) want to collect them all! I got a little crazy there for a while. Skeins 4 and 5 recently showed up, so I thought I’d share… Continue reading SE2SE #4 & 5 – I Need to Calm Down Now
Forest Weave is moving along OK. I’m almost – but not quite – halfway done with the front… So that’s moving along pretty well! If I can stay on track with it OK, It should be done in a couple of weeks. There are just two big rectangles – back and front, and then two… Continue reading Project Progress
