Late last week I got my Arrowhead cardigan (Ravelry link) out of it’s brief hibernation and got going on it again. I had put it aside in September to start working on Halloween projects. However, now it’s cold out and I want a nice warm cardigan! I have managed to get a fair amount done… Continue reading Arrowhead Cardigan
It turned out exactly as I hoped it would, which is a real relief 🙂 I had to show it folded up like this as it’s a pretty big shawl. Here it is being blocked last night (cat added for scale). And a closer picture of the skull lace with the beads I suddenly decided… Continue reading Betwixt Shawl is Done!
One effect of having only one project on the needs that I had not foreseen is that you don’t have much to blog about. Well, anyway, here’s more of that one project I’m working on! I’m about halfway done with the lace, so making good progress! I am rethinking my next project though. I was… Continue reading More Betwixt Progress
The pattern is Roam*, and the yarn is Silky Solo in the Boheme colorway. I will say this yarn is a little splitty, but it has a really beautiful sheen. It kind of balances out 🙂 I really enjoyed knitting this project. It is a nice mix of stockinette with bursts of pattern knitting. The… Continue reading Roam* Finished!

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. I got to stop in there during our visit back to the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania. They opened just after… Continue reading Conversational Threads
In the face of all logic and sense, I cast on another project – my Betwixt shawl! Many of you voted on my proposed colorways earlier, and the different versions of the vampire colorway were the most popular. I’m using red for the main color and black for the accent in the mosaic section, and… Continue reading Another Saturday, Another Start
I ripped back my Fright Night socks to the start of the colorwork section and am giving it another shot. This time I went up a needle size thanks to the good suggestion from azwoolgirl. Between that and just trying to keep everything loose, hopefully this time everything will go OK 🙂
One of the things I got to do in Wisconsin was visit a yarn shop! I was looking back over my posts, and the last yarn shop I visited was in Las Vegas when we went there in November of 2019. No wonder I got so excited about visiting this shop! We visited Casting On… Continue reading Casting On
