At last some progress to report! Ocean Sunset is moving along nicely. I’m about halfway through the striped horizontal section, and then have a lace band below that. The colors are not ones I would normally knit with, but I am really enjoying how they are turning out! Aaaaalmost done with clue 4 of Who… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
The next project I start is still going to be the Findhorn Wrap, but now I’m rethinking my yarns. I had planned on using these colors: But those really aren’t colors I wear most of the year, and I would be struggling to wear it. So instead I’m planning on these: The black and gray… Continue reading Rethinking My Rethink

And here it is – the color reversed version of the Day of the Dead cowl from earlier post fame.
