I’m in the unusual situation of having just two projects going right now – my Halloween sweater and my Solstice wrap – so they are both moving along pretty well! As usual, please excuse the terrible indoor nighttime photos The Halloween sweater is almost ready for binding off – the body at least. Then there’s… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
I’m just working on two things for the moment, though the next Colour for Knitting project should be popping into my inbox in a day or two. I’m making good progress on my Halloween sweater. Just a few more inches of plain stockinette, then I’m going to do a border along the bottom and the… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
The second project for Felicity Ford’s Color for Knitting club is the Cheers! mitts. The idea with this project is to take a very variegated yarn, pick out some of the colors in the yarn and find solids or tonals to match. The variegated yarn is used throughout, and you use the matching yarns in… Continue reading Friday FO – Cheers! Mitts done
This time, it’s Ambah O’Brien’s Solstice Wrap Knit-A-Long! This pattern can be knit in either fingering weight or DK, and is meant to use up an Advent set or just a bunch of scraps or minis. I am using mini-skeins for mine. Specifically, two sets of Yarn Cafe Creations mini sets; 1 set from the… Continue reading Another Day, Another KAL

But while I was gone, I did manage to get a project finished – a pair of socks for my DH. I didn’t really use a pattern – just a plain vanilla sock… Continue reading I’m Back – and So Is My Sock Model

Clue 2 of the Ocean Moon MKAL is done! I really love this design so far. Sorry for the long… Continue reading 1 Project and 1 Clue
So just like that, I finished section 3, then section 4, and am onto section 5! For anyone currently knitting a Vertices Unite or thinking about it, Sections 1 (dark and medium blue stripes on the left) and 3 (orange) are huge and a little disheartening. Section 2 (not visible in this photo) is a… Continue reading Vertices Unite Progress
I don’t have anything to report on my WIPs this week, as I have set them all aside to do a test knit! Michele Bernstein of PDXknitterati was looking for test knitters for a new cowl/shawl called Cosette, and it looks like such a cool project I decided to give it a try! The knitting… Continue reading Look! A Shiny Thing!
The 2 Spooky Pattern and kit are both from Nancy Bates Designs. The pattern is well written and has a nice, clear chart for the colorwork. The yarn kit had a good amount of yarn in it – I have a little left of all the colors, but not huge amounts. It is nice quality… Continue reading Friday FO: 2 Spooky Hat
