In the end I went up to US 2.5 needles for the colorwork part and knitted really loosely, but it fits! Once the colorwork was done I went to a 1.5 for the ribbing, and have about another inch and a half on that. Yaaaayyy! And then I have to finish the other one, of… Continue reading Third Time Lucky
New yarn shop! I haven’t been to a new yarn shop in well over a year, and suddenly 2 new ones in 3 weeks! This week’s new yarn shop was Conversational Threads in Emmaus PA.

One more inch or so and then it’s… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs – Slowly but Surely

I’m almost done with the first clue, and the second one has already come out! But that is OK – it will get done eventually, even if… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
…is the overall impression of my wardrobe 😀 Everything is proceeding along – not super fast, but moving. Really just starting on the socks and the Arrowhead cardigan, and a little more than halfway with the shawl. But I’m happy with how it’s all going. What are you working on right now – crafty or… Continue reading Several Shades of Gray
