I got finished knitting Ixchel earlier this week, then my Mom very kindly wove in my ends (I have an awesome Mom!). I blocked it yesterday, and this morning it is ready to go! I could not be happier with it. There are one or two things I’d do differently if I was to make… Continue reading Ixchel is Done!
I didn’t have a lot of time for knitting today, but did get to make some pretty decent progress on Dolores’ new caftan. Tomorrow I plan to go back to my Find Your Fade shawl, so hoping to get a lot done on that! How are your projects going?
I bought my copy of Amy Herzog’s new sweater book shortly after it came out around a month ago, and have been reading through it in bits and pieces ever since. In between there have been a few more books that have come out that I had to read (a new Rivers of London and… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Amy Herzog’s Ultimate Sweater Book
In spite of having a day off, I got very little knitting done. I did get some Christmas prep done, and also a few chores, so that was all good. Clearing the deck for later this week! But I have passed a milestone on Ixchel – the 2nd sleeve is done! I did decide to… Continue reading Busy Day

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, and also happy to be done… Continue reading Something’s Finally Done!

Maybe a cowl, maybe a phone cozy – I don’t really know yet. But something. It’s late November, so I have to decide quick.There are… Continue reading Merry Stitchmas
I didn’t have a whole lot of time to knit tonight, but I did get a little bit done on sleeve #2. Two more rows in the allover pattern, and then I start to do the sleeve decrease and just the arrow and moon pattern down the center of the sleeve. Starting to see a… Continue reading Ixchel – Sleeve #2
That’s as close as I’ve gotten to working on the 2nd tuck stitch cowl since Sunday afternoon. Every day I have brought it to work, hoping to get a few rows in at lunch or on a break. Every day something comes up. Today it was a good thing – DH was able to meet… Continue reading Thwarted
