Fading Away
My Find Your Fade is finally fading to the next color! I think I may actually have left it a little too long before changing color, but whatever, it’s in progress now!

Find Your Fade – So Much Pink!
I am making steady progress on my Find Your Fade shawl – it is getting so big! The color I am using now is Madeline Tosh Tosh Merino Light in VooDoo. And it is so PINK. I keep thinking – surely it’s time to fade to the next color. But it isn’t. I did my… Continue reading Find Your Fade – So Much Pink!
Yay! Knitting Again!
Well, all is right with the world again! In spite of having a couple stops to make on the way home and a few chores to do once we got home, I still got some knitting in. It’s amazing how much you can get done in one episode of Midsomer Murders – around an inch… Continue reading Yay! Knitting Again!
And So It Begins
I started getting everything together for my next sweater – what I’m hoping will turn out to be a nice gray tank, courtesy of Amy Herzog’s custom fit. Of course next to Dolores’ glam, I feel kind of boring. Suddenly I want an orange caftan and turban too! Maybe not for work, though 🙂
Finding My Fade
Dolores’ caftan is progressing nicely, but still not quite presentable. Hopefully will be there a bit later this week! The other thing I started working on last week was my Find Your Fade shawl. It is not a difficult knit at all. There are alternating sections of garter and a pretty simple lace. The magic… Continue reading Finding My Fade
Pop Up!

I know lots of yarn shops in the lower 48 have this sort of event often – where visiting yarn dyers or manufacturers of some knit-related product visit for a day or a… Continue reading Pop Up!

Maybe a cowl, maybe a phone cozy – I don’t really know yet. But something. It’s late November, so I have to decide quick.There are… Continue reading Merry Stitchmas
Christmas for Crafters
We’re getting there – the time of year when people start to think about Christmas gifts, then forget, then panic and just buy something at the last possible second. To help with this process, I’m going to talk about things crafters might like to receive as gifts. I plan to do at least a couple… Continue reading Christmas for Crafters
I Finished a Thing!
I finally finished the tuck stitch cowl that I started in September in the Tuck Stitch class with Nancy Marchant. It turned out OK! The stitch patterns in the top and bottom sections were Step Gable Tuck stitch and then the B version (color dominance variant of the same thing) in the middle. It’s not… Continue reading I Finished a Thing!
