If you caught my FO Friday post, you'll know I finished up the Brighton socks and Terrain scarf, so I don't have much on the needles right now for knitting. I am working on the plain vanilla sock in fall colors here and there. I'm using Fiber Stash Dyeworks Twinkle Toes sock yarn in the… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 39
FO Friday
Two finished things to talk about this FO Friday - both happen to have a definite leaning towards purple, although that wasn't planned. 🙂 First up, I finished Terrain. This design by Janina Callio of Woolenberry is a simple scarf, knit mostly in garter stitch with a few sections of stockinette stitch and a simple… Continue reading FO Friday

More sock things this week included finishing up sock #1 of the Brighton socks. I'm really enjoying working these up in West Yorkshire Spinners 4-ply with it's nice smooth twist and vibrant colors. I have cast on for sock #2 and I'm about halfway through the leg, so I want to focus on these and… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 38

Year of Projects 2022: Week 37
It's starting to feel like fall here - much cooler (and darker) mornings when we go for our walk, the dog and I. I wore some fingerless mitts this morning as it was down in the low 50s (as well as a hoodie sweatshirt). This time of year always makes me want to cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 37
Year of Projects 2022: Week 36
Running a bit behind this week while taking advantage of our 3-day weekend here in the States, but here's my update for the week. I started and finished Vanessa Smith's Stars Hollow hat using a skein of DK-weight handspun. The original roving was from Funky Carolina (a BFL wool) and dyed in the colorway Eowyn.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 36
FO Friday: Softly Spoken
I finished up the Softly Spoken shawl this week and it blocked out beautifully! The pattern is by Janina Callio of Woolenberry. I really enjoy knitting her patterns as they tend to be fairly straightforward knits with a nice combination of pretty but not overly complex details. I had been looking for some patterns to… Continue reading FO Friday: Softly Spoken

Year of Projects 2022: Week 35
I finished up a few things this week, hoping to close out August with mostly empty needles to kick off the official start of fall knitting season. I finished up the second Altitude Sock to complete the pair, which also served as my final pair of socks for Summer Sock Camp 2022, hosted by the… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 35
Year of Projects 2022: Week 34
First up this week are my pair of finished self-striping, plain vanilla socks. Yarn is from Desert Vista Dyeworks in the 'Monkey Wrench' colorway. I used a leftover bit of plain black for the Fish Lips Kiss heels in this otherwise simple pair. The yarn base is one I generally have almost a half skein… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 34
