A couple weeks ago, I saw this yarn from Old Crow ArtYarns on Etsy: I love What We Do In the Shadows, and it’s pretty yarn, so I bought it. Then when it showed up, I thought it would be cool to use for something with a bat pattern. So I found this cowl pattern… Continue reading Cool Idea Sadly Gone Wrong
I know I have posted about my yarn for this sweater before, but I’m pretty jazzed about it, so I’m posting again. The main yarn is going to be this Knit Picks Galileo in the Nebula colorway – it is a really deep plum color, which as it turns out is hard to photograph indoors… Continue reading Arachne KAL Yarn and Resources
Last night DH and I got our taxes done. (We have the wildest Friday nights!) We have a tax preparer we have gone to for the last couple years – she does a great job and is very pleasant as well. Well, this year she is pregnant! Very much so – she is due in… Continue reading Bam! Booties
This is a Rock-Climbing cowl that I am knitting with one of my souvenir skeins from Sin City Knit Shop in Las Vegas. It has been in my desk drawer at work for the last couple weeks as my lunch/boring phone meeting project. I’m kind of jazzed to be using a souvenir skein so soon… Continue reading Yep – Another Cowl
Well, now that we are back again, I can tell you about last week’s trip – to fabulous Las Vegas Nevada! DH’s company sent him and three coworkers to AutoCAD University for the week, and I got to tag along. We just had to cover my flight and meals, making it an irresistible bargain. We… Continue reading Sin City Knit Shop
This evening I binge-watched all four episodes of Digging For Britain Season 1 on Amazon while working on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks. I only have 3 more rows of ribbing to do, and also now I know what’s up with British archaeology these days!
It’s been a bit of a week so far, so I gave myself permission to start a new project rather than the socks or Perfect Blend. One of these projects will be going in to work with me for a lunchtime project, but not quite yet. Anyway. I started a project using a new-to-me technique… Continue reading So Much for Focus
Again, not a huge amount of progress on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks. I have about 7 more pattern repeats to go before the ribbing and cast off, which is about 28 rows. I’m a little bit struggling with it – it’s not difficult, but for some reason focus is not easy right now. But… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
This basically never happens to me, but I suddenly have a knitting emergency. My felted slippers came apart on me, just as it’s starting to get cold! I have had the sense that they were getting a little thin, but they seemed to be holding together pretty well. Then I put them in the washer,… Continue reading Unexpected Project
