Coming along nicely and already making me smile 🙂 Tonight I will work on her legs? Arms and legs? Technically they are all legs, but since she is always upright, I’m going with arms and legs. Then she gets hair and a face embroidered on. Then outfits! Because of course, clothes make the lady 😉… Continue reading Dolores Progresses
Finally, it is done! Completely finished and done! I was hoping for a scenic photoshoot this weekend, but that didn’t quite happen. It’s hot and raining and we had a kind of a busy one. Maybe at some point when it is cooler I will be someplace scenic with it on and get a nice… Continue reading Glenesk is done!
Dolores is started! After a typically (for her) contentious beginning, the Dolores kits have begun to make their way around the globe, and the fun has begun! I’m only just started making the doll, but so far it’s going pretty well. The KAL has also been going along pretty well, and so far everyone is… Continue reading The Fabulous Ms. D!
Around the beginning of this year, having learned my lesson somewhat from last year, I set myself a series of challenges as my knitting goals for 2018. Now that we are a month past the halfway mark, how am I doing? Goal 1 – Do at least one of my big colorwork kits. Done, except… Continue reading 2018 Knitting Goals – Progress Report
After the concentrated push to get finished with Glenesk, I took yesterday and today to just noodle around with a couple of projects. I got back into the swing of my Call of the Siren, and made some halfway decent progress. I have a little more of this texture section to go, then another double… Continue reading Doodly Doo
The knitting part is done! Whew! It is in for a soak right now so I can start blocking. Then there’s just weaving in ends, doing the buttons, and a little bit more finishing. So you’ll probably hear about it again when all that is done and I have a chance to do a nice… Continue reading The 2nd Last Time You Will Hear About Glenesk – I Promise!
My entrelac kerchief, knit from my niece Katy’s lovely spinning, is done! Though I would normally never take something I care this much about with me on a trip, I was able to get it into my purse, so I was relatively certain that nothing bad would happen to it. That gave me two medium… Continue reading Entrelac Kerchief Done!
This past weekend, DH and I took a quick jaunt to Portland, OR. We saw a lot of sights and ate some really good food. In all the excitement, we made two stops of specific interest to knitters – Pearl Fiber Arts and Powell’s City of Books! Pearl Fiber Arts is a smallish shop in… Continue reading Purling and Pearling in Portland
I have some progress to report on Glenesk – but not as much as I’d like. I got the bottom band reknit, and in spite of the hassle it was, I’m glad I did. When I started, I forgot to use the smaller needles and just dove right in. As a result, the bottom band… Continue reading Glenesk: One Step Forward, One Step Back
