Time on My Hands
Hey, you know when’s a really good time to get some knitting in? During printer installation. 😛

Mitten Knittin’
Not much knitting news to tell today. Did not have as much knitting time as I hoped I would – got up to where the thumb stitches get set aside. May be able to get finished tomorrow. It will depend, as always, on the amount of free time available! Hope your weekend is off to… Continue reading Mitten Knittin’
Odds and Endgame
We did get in to see Endgame last night – loved it! There were funny bits and heartbreaking bits and heartwarming bits and crazy amounts of action. Whew! For anybody at all interested in Marvel movies who hasn’t seen it yet – definitely go. It is worth the three hours of your day. Take tissues.… Continue reading Odds and Endgame
Colorshift Mosaic Cowl Done!
Got my mosaic knitting project done this evening! I cheated a little on the colors for the final two pattern sections. But I was running low on the neon peach, and thought that throwing a little accent section of blue would look nice anyway. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out 🙂 It was… Continue reading Colorshift Mosaic Cowl Done!
Next!
There’s not much new with the Colorshift Cowl – it looks the same but more of it right now. If I’m able to put some time in on it tomorrow, it should be done. But we’ll see. It’s at the long hard slog phase, so hopefully I can get it done! So I did spend… Continue reading Next!

This month it is tubular cast on in the round, as part of making some lovely cabled mittens. I’m pretty excited about this one, so I want to get a move on and… Continue reading Mosaic Coming Together
Chevrons This Way and That
Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the stockinette vs. garter question on this chevron section! I did decide to just keep going and mirror the sections. I hate the garter parts less now that there are a few more repeats of the stitch pattern, though I still think the stockinette parts definitely look better… Continue reading Chevrons This Way and That
Swatch Storage
With all these experiments and random knitting exercises I’m doing lately, I have run into a new problem – random swatch storage. When I do a swatch or two for a specific project, the swatch usually gets stored in the page protector with the pattern and at least one yarn label. But all of a… Continue reading Swatch Storage
Mosaic Knitting – the Plot Thickens
Now that I’m into the central section, I decided to try the chevron pattern two different ways – one repeat of garter and one of stockinette. Here is how that turned out… I think in this section the pattern is much clearer in the stockinette section, though the garter part is interesting in its own… Continue reading Mosaic Knitting – the Plot Thickens
