It’s that time of year again! Shark Week is coming up, and for some reason the yarn world has embraced it like never before. Not sure how that happened, but I have been taking full advantage and adding to my stash 🙂 I didn’t get all of this at once – it’s been building up… Continue reading Knit Every Week Like It’s Shark Week
My shark mitts are done! Outdoor sunlight picture… Indoor daytime picture. Either way, although this is a cute pattern, it definitely needed yarns with more contrast! As Sarah suggested, I am planning on adapting this to socks, and will definitely be picking different yarns. Although I am stocked up with yarn and projects in a… Continue reading Friday FOs
Well, Shark Week 2020 has set sail without me. We don’t have cable, and the season is not for sale on Amazon, which is how we have watched it the last several years.

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
Even in my knitting bag 🙂 This past week I continued on in soxual experimentation with my first pair of top down socks.  As previously mentioned, I have been trying out different sock-knitting methods, and all my previous attempts have been toe up, for a variety of reasons. These socks are the results of a… Continue reading It’s Shark Week Everywhere!
