Managed to get some knitting time in this evening, and got some done on my Find Your Fade. I’m a few rows into the Gin and Tonic section, and am really loving the color so far! The yarn is Madelinetosh’s Tosh Merino Light, and I am really enjoying this yarn. The colors are gorgeous, and… Continue reading TGIF!
Have been making decent progress on the redo on my cowl design. The changes I was thinking about that caused the redo are working out pretty well. This yarn is very different from the yarn I started with – that was all silk and was very fluid and flowy. This is tightly spun wool, and… Continue reading Back Where I Started

Finally finished my limitations exercise and got it blocked! The next exercise – this week’s, in fact – is taking one of the previous exercises and doing a little more with it. I plan to use this one for that, because there are a few of these patterns that I am wondering how they will… Continue reading 4 x 4 exercises
Last week’s creativity lesson was about the value of limitations. There was a lot to it, but basically it was about how having structure and limits around what you are going to do can be valuable in a number of ways. Among other benefits, it helps you focus and also forces you to play with… Continue reading Within Limits
Dolores’ gansey is done! It turned out pretty well, and I learned some things that will help me in making my own gansey. Dolores is happy to have such a fashionable and warm item for any nautical jaunts she may be taking. 😉 So all in all, I’m very happy with this project!
