DH and I went on a little trip to the nearby town of Sheboygan yesterday – more about the visit in general in a few days. While we were there, we went to the local yarn shop, The Last Sheepicorn! This is a newish shop, but is in a lovely space and has pretty nice… Continue reading The Last Sheepicorn – Yarn Shop Visit!
I cast this gansey on January 3 and finished knitting it July 2, so roughly 6 months on this one sweater – but I feel like it was worthwhile. The pattern is Susan’s Eriskay gansey by Beth Brown-Reinsel (ravelry link). I made this as part of a gansey-related KAL with Alissa of Snakes & Cranes,… Continue reading FO Friday – Gansey is Done!

The exterminator agreed that if it continues to the end of the week they will come back out and do the upstairs. They claim the stuff they used takes a… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs

I did not use the whole skein of yarn because, as previously mentioned, the whole cowl is linen stitch, which is incredibly… Continue reading FO Finally!
I am taking part in Kate Davies new Summer of Mystery club, which involves patterns, essays, a read along, and a mystery knit along. So there is a lot to do! The first clue came out today, and I got just a little start on it. (KDD MKALers – spoiler alert!) Hopefully that didn’t spoil… Continue reading Wednesday New WIP
I did a little bit of work on several projects this week – everything is moving along, even if a little bit slowly! About 40 rows from done on the back of my gansey! I do still have the sleeves to do then, but at least the main part will be done. I’m looking forward… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
This past weekend I went to Kansas City for Knitting in the Heartland with a few of my favorite people! You may recognize Alissa of Snakes and Cranes and Bonny of BonnyKnits – also included were non-blogging friends Ivy and Jess! Bonny lives in the area and very kindly picked me up from the airport… Continue reading Knitting In the Heartland!
