I was too lazy and disorganized last night to post my WIPs pictures, so I miss out on the alliteration. But in any case, here they are! Side 2 of the Shelly Summer top is under way! I’m hoping to be able to focus on it this weekend and make some progress. And the Black… Continue reading Thursday…ThWIPS?
For those of you who are Shark Week inclined, it is coming up! It starts this coming Sunday 8/9 and goes through the week. Jimmy Beans generally puts out some kind of shark week sock kit, which I always get and sometimes even make 🙂 This year they are doing something a little different. Shark… Continue reading Shark Week!
A couple weeks ago, I saw this yarn from Old Crow ArtYarns on Etsy: I love What We Do In the Shadows, and it’s pretty yarn, so I bought it. Then when it showed up, I thought it would be cool to use for something with a bat pattern. So I found this cowl pattern… Continue reading Cool Idea Sadly Gone Wrong
I know I have posted about my yarn for this sweater before, but I’m pretty jazzed about it, so I’m posting again. The main yarn is going to be this Knit Picks Galileo in the Nebula colorway – it is a really deep plum color, which as it turns out is hard to photograph indoors… Continue reading Arachne KAL Yarn and Resources

Well, now that we are back again, I can tell you about last week’s trip – to fabulous Las Vegas Nevada! DH’s company sent him and three coworkers to AutoCAD University for the week, and I got to tag along. We just had to cover my flight and meals, making it an irresistible bargain. We… Continue reading Sin City Knit Shop
This evening I binge-watched all four episodes of Digging For Britain Season 1 on Amazon while working on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks. I only have 3 more rows of ribbing to do, and also now I know what’s up with British archaeology these days!
It’s been a bit of a week so far, so I gave myself permission to start a new project rather than the socks or Perfect Blend. One of these projects will be going in to work with me for a lunchtime project, but not quite yet. Anyway. I started a project using a new-to-me technique… Continue reading So Much for Focus
