So close! I am a thumb tip away from being done with my Mom’s Christmas mittens. They fit her really well, are nice and thick and warm, and have turned out pretty OK 🙂 If all goes as planned, this time next week I will be back to Sock It To Me Monday with a… Continue reading Mitten Monday
Like most years, my big holiday treat to myself is a yarn advent. This year I got Kate Davies Color Compass advent, and I am so glad I did! The best thing about this advent is not really the yarn (though that is great as well), it’s the activities around it. The Kate Davies group… Continue reading Color Compass
My Halloween Cats sweater is done! The pattern is Fall Favorites by Meghan Reagan (Ravelry link). This isn’t the first time I have knit this sweater – last year I did the pumpkin version. Like last time, I KALed with Alissa of Snakes & Cranes and Sarah of mildlygranola. The yarn I used is Cascade… Continue reading Halloween FO – Cats Sweater Done!
My Back to the Fuchsia (Ravelry link) is done! Why is there no fuchsia, you may ask? In thinking about colors I wore a lot of in the 80’s, cyan was probably my favorite. The pattern is Back to the Fuchsia by Cally Monster of Monsterknits. The yarn is KnitPick Palette in white, black, and… Continue reading Manic Monday

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
Yesterday, DH and I went on a little road trip to Two Rivers, WI. It’s a cute little town on the shore of Lake Michigan. We mainly went to visit the Hamilton Wood Type & Print Museum, which I highly recommend! But that is a story for another post. While we were in Two Rivers… Continue reading Intertwined – Yarn Shop Visit!
Not as much going on this week on the knitting front – I haven’t touched my Powdermill this week, though I really should. I have been keeping up on the Celtic Mist MKAL. Here are clues 3 and 4 We are halfway done! So far each of the clues has been pretty reasonable, though the… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
It’s been a wild couple of days, but I have managed to get some knitting in 🙂 First, my current longest running WIP, Powdermill (Ravelry link). I do keep getting distracted away from this one. So I’ve basically decided that I’m going to treat it like a marathon and not a sprint. It will get… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
