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
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
Well, heading into Wednesday, anyway 😉 Of the three things I have going right now, I haven’t touched the entrelac kerchief this week, though I plan to do at least a bit over the next couple of days. 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
