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
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 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

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
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
This is one of those times when I totally get how people have “startitis.” My current knitting is exactly the same as the last several times I wrote, and I’m boring myself even thinking about what to say about it right now. So instead of telling you even more about the things I am continuing… Continue reading Coming Attractions!
