Finally a knitting post here on my knitting blog! I have three projects on the needles right now, which is maybe one more than I should. But here we are. First, shark sock progress! The intarsia and seaming on both socks is done, and I am knitting from the intarsia part up to the tops… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
New cast on this week! I am putting the argyle cardi away for a little while in favor of a new summer sweater – She Makes Waves (Ravelry link). The yarn is one that is new to me, Cascade Anchor Bay, which is a 50/50 blend of wool and cotton. I am using Dark Teal… Continue reading Casting On, Swimming Away
Today I finished a project I have been working on for just a month short of 2 years. The pattern is Alexandra’s Airplane Scarf. There are several versions of this scarf – this is the striped version. The yarn is Isager Japansk Bomuld, which is just a very thin cotton tape yarn. It has a… Continue reading Finally Finished: Airplane Scarf
Last week got away from me – busy times. However, I did manage to finish off my Shark Tooth Tee! There are a few ends that need to get woven in, but otherwise it is good to go! The pattern is Shark Tooth Tee (Ravelry link) The yarn I used is Plymouth Yarns Covington colorway… Continue reading FO: Shark Tooth Tee Done!

Side 1 is done! I really like the way this fabric is turning out. The colors are pooling somewhat, but I think it actually looks pretty good! If you are a crafter, what are your thoughts on color pooling with variegated yarns?
Making decent progress on my Shelly Summer Top! I’m almost, but not quite, halfway done with the first side. It is a pretty easy knit – it’s just one of the variants of Feather and Fan, otherwise known as Old Shale, so it’s pretty straightforward. As you can probably see, the yarn is pooling a… Continue reading Shelly Top Update
I finally got a start on my Shelley Summer Top using the lovely Bamboo Pop yarn I won from Nancyknit’s blog. I didn’t get a lot of knitting time today, so I wasn’t able to do a huge amount of it, but at least there’s a start 🙂
With Niazuma done, I only have a pair of socks going, so needed to start something else. I was stuck between a couple of options, and somewhat typically picked two things that weren’t even on the list! I am starting another sweater, the Shelley Summer Top, which I am making out of some yarn that… Continue reading What’s Next?
