The big news in my knitting world today is that I should get my first pattern email from Kate Davies Knitting Season tomorrow, and the first creativity exercise? assignment? this Sunday. So I’m pretty excited about that. In other news… Got the front (or bow) of my Schooner done and blocking! So hopefully tomorrow I… Continue reading Little of This, Little of That
Time to take a short break from relentlessly going on about what I’m knitting now by taking a look at what I plan to knit next! Directly next are swatches for this month and next month’s Custom Fit patterns. In looking through my stash, I discovered that I had 2 sweater quantities each of two… Continue reading Next!
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

My Schooner has a back! Or ‘stern’ in nautical boat talk. But in any case – it’s blocking now – very happy with how it is turning out 🙂 Whew! Almost halfway done! Schooner is a tank, so I just need to knit the front, sew the two halves together, then knit some ribbing around… Continue reading Schooner Progress
By my own knitting project rotation schedule, I should have been working on my Schooner today. However, it was such a gray, overcast and colorless day outside that I decided on my Find Your Fade instead. I even managed to sneak in a couple of rows at lunch. 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
