Got my mosaic knitting project done this evening! I cheated a little on the colors for the final two pattern sections. But I was running low on the neon peach, and thought that throwing a little accent section of blue would look nice anyway. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out 🙂 It was… Continue reading Colorshift Mosaic Cowl Done!
There’s not much new with the Colorshift Cowl – it looks the same but more of it right now. If I’m able to put some time in on it tomorrow, it should be done. But we’ll see. It’s at the long hard slog phase, so hopefully I can get it done! So I did spend… Continue reading Next!
Now that I’m into the central section, I decided to try the chevron pattern two different ways – one repeat of garter and one of stockinette. Here is how that turned out… I think in this section the pattern is much clearer in the stockinette section, though the garter part is interesting in its own… Continue reading Mosaic Knitting – the Plot Thickens
I may have gone a little crazy right out of the gate in looking for SE2SE yarns. My second find is a skein of lovely yarn from the Jacob breed. This comes from the Havencroft farm, through their Etsy shop. Jen also sent me a small sample of homespun of one of their sheep’s dark… Continue reading SE2SE Yarn #2 – Jacob
It wound up looking OK, in spite of everything 🙂 Now that it is totally done, you can see a bit clearer I did wind up going to a second scrap ball of yarn. These are leftover bits from my Adventurous Wrap from Christmas before last. In addition to being a good exercise in general,… Continue reading Mini-Shawl #2, We Are Ended Now
My Find Your Fade shawl is quickly becoming one of my longer running projects – but that’s fair because this thing is huge! I took it along with me on our trip to Seward, which gave me two hours of car time each way, plus some time in the evenings when we had settled in.… Continue reading Fading Along
A little while ago, I mentioned thinking about working my way through a book on shawl shapes where the projects are all (or mostly) mini-shawls. Well, I finally got started. This is pattern #1 in the book – Tip Up Triangle Shawl. The name pretty much says it all. You start at the tip and… Continue reading 1st Mini-Shawl is Done
I’m feeling that sort of blah that you sometimes get after you are done with a big project. So no big news to report, but a few small things. First, I copied a page out of Alyssa at Headknits book and signed up for the Livestock Conservancy’s Shave’Em to Save ‘Em program. Basically, it encourages… Continue reading Randomness Roundup
The last big project is winding down, so it’s time to think about what’s next! This weekend I plan to start by putting in some serious time on my Fade and see how far I can get with it before distraction carries me off again. April 1 we will see the details of the next… Continue reading Up Next
