I’ve made a little progress on both current progress, though not a lot. I’m done with the folded hem and wrist of the first Flux handwarmer. And gotten a bit farther with the Wave shawl, though not quite up to the first short row lace part. I’m hoping to have some solid knitting time this… Continue reading A Little Progress
I got finished knitting my It’s All Right (Ravelry link) mobius shawl on Saturday and got it blocked overnight. I tried it on, and it is just right for going around my shoulders with a bit of drape. Perfect! It is a very nice completely reversible design just done with knits and purls and then… Continue reading Mobius is Done! Next?
Cast on for the first project of AC Knitwear’s new project club, Confident Knitting, is March 1st. I had ordered the yarn pack for the first three projects on February 5. They did ship it pretty much right away, and then it hung out at Heathrow for the next three weeks. I am signed up… Continue reading Sudden Random Yarn
Last week I started knitting the first of a pair of mismatch socks – the (Ravelry link) Stationery Set from Yarn Enabler. I bought this yarn a couple years ago, and I’m glad I did, as I don’t know that the dyer is still in business, though here is the link to her site anyway.… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday: Stationery Set

From the examples on the pattern page it looks like the wonkiness will partially block out, but not… Continue reading Feelin’ Groovy
I mentioned last week that I had turned some birthday cash into some yarn – it got here today! Two more rare breed skeins complete with Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em stickers, from Shaggy Bear Farms. They were a vendor at this month’s VK Live, and I found them via poking around in the vendor… Continue reading A Few Skeins More
The mohair striped monster is done! It’s folded up here because this thing is massive. It’s longer than I am tall by quite a bit. Granted, I am pretty short, but still. And also it is wide. I tried it on and I have to wear it looped around a couple times to avoid looking… Continue reading Mohair Stripes Done!
Here it is right off the needles – its a little wonky here and there. However, gentle wet blocking got everything all smoothed out. Very happy with how it turned out! Close up at an angle to show off the purl bump texture here and there 🙂 Very relieved that this went as well as… Continue reading Blue Shimmer Hat is Done!
Third yarn added! There are fewer rows in this third section, but they are soooooooooo loooooooooonnnnggggg! But it’s moving along reasonably quickly anyway. What are you working on, and how is it going?
