Since the last post, I have been able to make at least a little progress on all three (3 – how did that happen!) projects on the needles. Nessie sock #2 is moving along – now you can see two little Nessies appearing on the foot! Glenesk is moving along as well – I’m about… Continue reading Still Moving Along!
My Nessie sock #2 is coming along very well… The leg is done and the heel is turned, now on to the foot! And I have to get a move on with it, as next week the Lattes & Llamas girls are starting a new cryptid knit MKAL – Call of the Siren – which… Continue reading Progress Report
Glenesk continues to proceed along at a reasonable pace… I’m less than a pattern repeat from being done with the torso. I have a terrible feeling it may be quite a bit too long, but if so I will deal with it later. After I finish the torso and do the sleeves, I plan to… Continue reading Yarn Wrangling
It was a crazy week, but I did get about halfway done with the second Nessie sock No Nessie sightings for this clue, but there are two children of Nessie on the foot of this sock. Next week they should start to show up! I have been on a real odyssey of knitting needles for… Continue reading Calm Waters at Loch Ness
Finally done with my first Nessie sock! I will say for anyone thinking about doing this project, I have size 10 feet, and the large size is pretty loose on me. So if I were to do this again, I’d probably do the medium size, or possibly go down to size 0 needles. The heck… Continue reading Nessie Sighting!
This was an absolutely crazy week in a lot of ways, yet I still managed to make at least a little progress on all my WIPs! First, Glenesk is moving along nicely. I have added in the steek* stitches for the sleeves and started decreasing for the V-neck, so am maybe 3/4 of the way… Continue reading Weekly WIP Report
It’s been quite a week, and the nuttiness is not over yet! However, I have been able to make a little progress in my latest cryptid knitalong – Nessie! Here is the front of the first sock. Can you see her? And the back, where I’m neeeeaaaarly at the turn of the heel. And yes,… Continue reading Spotting Nessie
Twinkle of the Starlighter is finally done! (Done done, as opposed to mostly done like the last post on this topic.) So I can finally stop knitting it, and you can finally stop hearing about it 🙂 So the specifics. The pattern is Twinkle, by the prolific and creative Natalia Moreva. The stars are done… Continue reading Twinkle of the Starlighter
When last I wrote, I was heading off to Fairbanks Alaska on a work trip, and had thrown some yarn and tools in my bag in a rather cavalier fashion, figuring that somehow a credible project would work itself out. That did not go as planned. Here again is the yarn… It is bulky weight,… Continue reading Well, It Was an Experience
