With the Just Beachy shawl done, I finally got to start the first new shawl of the year and also got back to making a little progress on my Powdermill. Powdermill (Ravelry link) is coming along! I haven’t gotten too far yet, but I’ve been focusing on finishing Just Beachy for the last week. So… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
After a very long pause, my Just Beachy shawl is finished! Here it is right after I cast off, so not blocked or finished in any way This thing is BIG. So here it is once it was blocked. My Mom very kindly wove the ends in for me, and in exchange I started a… Continue reading Just Beachy is Done!
It’s been a while again since I posted last – I keep meaning to post much more regularly but life is getting away from me right now. Oh well, I’ll just keep trying!

Nothing finished to report today. I made some progress on my skirt, but it doesn’t look much different.

My Half the Knit Sky shawl is coming along pretty well! There are about 40 – 50 rows left, though of course they are all long ones 🙂 I am really enjoying this project – just enough variety to keep it interesting, but it’s not insanely complicated.
