FO Friday
DH’s socks are done! The yarn is Universal Yarns Uni Merino in the Salem colorway. I didn’t use a pattern at all, just my usual toe-up 2-at-a time method. On to the next!

Thursday ThWIPs
I’ve got the same two project moving along. Melville is somewhat further along from last week. I’m enjoying watching the pattern emerge! And DH’s socks are aaaalmost done! Just a bit more on the ribbing and then they are finished. So now the question of what to cast on next! More socks? A quick summer… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Triagonal Shawlette – Done!
With my other projects taking so long, I wanted something quick to finish – so I made a Triagonal shawlette! This is a nice quick mini-shawl (Ravelry Link) designed by Ambah O’Brien. It can be made with either a skein of sock yarn or 5 mini-skeins. I used a set my Mom got me for… Continue reading Triagonal Shawlette – Done!
Thursday ThWIPs
I’m chugging along with my same two projects, but at least I’m making progress! This is the front and back of my Melville (Ravelry link). I’m about 1/3 of the way through the colorwork and enjoying it quite a bit! I love watching the pattern emerge 🙂 My DH’s socks are coming along as well.… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs

I don’t want to do that every day – sometimes you… Continue reading Always More Stuff to Learn

But finally, my yarn winding dreams have come true! Ta Da!! Recently I was thinking about maybe getting a sawhorse of… Continue reading Dream Come True
Wednesday WIPs
Other than DH’s socks, I’ve got two active projects going – Melville and a new little shawlette. Melville (Ravelry link) is moving along! I have just started the colorwork, which was quite a thrill. I don’t think this project will move along particularly quickly, but I’m enjoying seeing the pattern develop. I like the contrast… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Sock It To Me Monday
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
Yarn Shops Aplenty
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
