DH’s new black socks are coming right along! I’m about half an inch or so from turning the heels, then just the leg and cuff. These socks have been getting a lot of attention lately, because they are my go-to for calls and meetings and so on. I’m not using a pattern, just my regular… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Last weekend, DH and I went on a mini-adventure to the nearby-ish towns of Wausau and Stevens Point. The main objectives of the trip was to visit bookstores in each town, which we did do. However, each town also had a yarn shop, so we needed to stop at those too. The first stop was… Continue reading Yarn Shops Aplenty
The Art of Landscape Knitting by Anne Le Brocq is an interesting knitting book that gives you knitting block or repeat patterns that represent different types of terrain or things you would see in nature. Le Brocq is a geographer as well as a knitter, so she has a unique insight into different types of… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: The Art of Landscape Knitting
For whatever reason, I just was not able to get my act together earlier this week. However, I do have some progress on my WIPS! It doesn’t really look like it, but Melville is moving along! Only about 10 more rows and I can divide off the sleeves. That will be nice, because this is… Continue reading Sadly No Alliteration WIPs
Just two WIPs with anything new to report this week – my Melville sweater and a new project. Still on the yoke of Melville (Ravelry link), which really does go on and on and does not end. However, I do like the fabric and the color so far. I’m just excited to get to the… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
All my projects are moving right along! I’m pretty well along on my Melville sweater yoke. I don’t have many more rows to do, but the rows are so long now! It will be good to get the sleeves separated out and get going on the colorwork! Good progress on my Mom’s Rooftop Landing hat… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
I had a little FO this week, my Cetraria Islandica cowl! The pattern and kit are by Helene Magnusson, aka The Icelandic Knitter. The main yarn (the brown) is unspun plotulopi, which is interesting to knit with. I had to be a lot more delicate with it than I generally am with yarn. The resulting… Continue reading Friday FO: Cetraria Islandica
I cannot believe a whole week has gone by! It’s been busy, but looking back I can’t really say what I was busy with. I can say I was partially busy with knitting. Still on the first sleeve of my Powdermill, but making progress! Also I started a smaller second project, the Cetraria Islandica cowl.… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Current progress on Powdermill! Traveling along on Sleeve Island pretty well! I am changing the sleeves a bit. In the pattern, they are straight and then balloon at the cuffs. I don’t love that style, so I am doing a very gradual decrease as I go until it gets to a reasonable width, then I’ll… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
