Schooner is sailing along! I have gotten up to the interesting part now. You can see the V-neck opening is just started, and you can’t really see it, but I have started the armhole decreases. I think it should start to go fast now! I just keep decreasing for the V-neck, do a few more… Continue reading Weekend Other WIP Report
The Fade continues fading away. The lavender color has so much pink in it that it looks like I’m still doing the fade striping, but I’m not – it’s all the lavender 🙂 I’ve still got several more rows of the garter section, then on to the next lace section, and so on to infinity.… Continue reading Weekend WIP Report
In thinking about what I want to do with my knitting this coming year, I have two separate and semi-conflicting general goals: to slow down and take a deep look at one or two areas of knitting, and also to knit like the wind so my various wardrobe wants are satisfied.

My coworkers loved the colors – one… Continue reading Fading the Gray Away
I have been working away on my Schooner, but it all looks like a bit more of this… So the same as before, just a bit more of it! In other news – hope everyone who celebrates had a Merry Christmas? Ours was pretty nice. We got to sleep in (since we have no kids,… Continue reading Knit knit knit
My Find Your Fade is finally fading to the next color! I think I may actually have left it a little too long before changing color, but whatever, it’s in progress now!
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I signed up for Kate Davies latest pattern club, which somehow or the other incorporates bullet journaling. Also, lately a lot of the knitting sights seem to be all about bullet journaling – Mason Dixon sells a journal and recently published several articles about it. Webs is selling… Continue reading Bullet Journal Train
