The second sleeve is done! Yaaayyyy!!! I reinforced and cut the steek down to where the V neck starts, just to check for length and fit. It fits, and the length is good. Whew! I did decide to redo the bottom band, though I soon wished I had decided differently. That did not go smoothly… Continue reading A Farewell to Arms
As I have mentioned several times before, I am kind of easily distracted. It takes nothing more than a tantalizing project or yarn to pull me completely off of a carefully thought-out and solid knitting plan. Up until recently, I had such a plan. I am going to finish Glenesk and Call of the Siren… Continue reading A Sheep, A Shark, and a Camping Trip
As I mentioned earlier , I recently switched from working on Glenesk just during the weekends to working on it during the weeks, and switching other projects to the weekends. Consequently, I am halfway done with the second sleeve in just a week. Emotionally, this felt to me like that part in Lord of the Rings:Return… Continue reading Knitting My Way Up Mount Doom
Sleeve #1 of Glenesk is done! And I had enough knitting time left over last night that I could prep and cut the steek for the second sleeve, so I can get rolling on that one as well! Up until now, this has been weekend knitting only, because I wanted to have stretches of time… Continue reading Armed and Dangerous

Only one more section is double knit, which is sllllloooooowwww to knit, at least… Continue reading Swimming Along

I am well along on the first sleeve of Glenesk There is about 2/3 of the last… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
This week was mostly a blur. It consisted of a whirlwind work trip to Seattle, in which I got an awful lot of work done, and not a lot of sleep. But in between work tasks, I did finish the two kits I took with me (if you ignore the maybe hour of knitting I… Continue reading Quick Travel Knits
I’m on a trip for work right now, so not getting a lot of knitting done, and none at all on my regularly scheduled projects. There is a pretty nice pool at the hotel where I am staying, so it’s a little bit of a pity I didn’t bring Call of the Siren, as I… Continue reading Work Trip
I have a bit of progress to report on both the Call of the Sirens and the entrelac kerchief, so that’s exciting. Glad to be moving forward! On Call of the Sirens, I got back to the point where I made the decision to rip back and then went into clue 2 with no problems. … Continue reading Progress Report – Sirens and Entrelac
