Lots of projects on the go this week, so here we go! I finished up my Constant Moral Support hat. The pattern is from Hunter Hammersen, and I used the last ball and a half of Jaeger Roma I had lurking in my stash from a sweater knit last year.

Year of Projects 2022: Week 6
This week I've been focusing on a preview knit project, a large scarf/stole for Brooklyn Tweed, but unfortunately, I can't show any pictures of it until the preview week around the first of March. That's percolating in the background but in the meantime, I've also been working on: A new cast-on for a KAL with… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 6

This week, I finished up sock #1 of the By Naughty Design pair. Pattern is from Hunter Hammersen and yarn is from Long Dog Yarns, their Bounce Sock Yarn in A Shortcut to Mushrooms colorway, the first of their LOTR-themed club colors.

I took advantage of a few days off to organize my proejcts for 2022 and start a few things: I cast on for a pair of plain vanilla socks, using a self-striping sock yarn from Desert Vista Dyeworks. The colorway is Halley's Comet, and it's alternating stripes of a dark blue and a lightly speckled… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 1
January 2022 Crafting Goals
Here's what I've got on my to-do list for January: Finish sock #1 of the Vapour Socks. I just need to Kitchener the toe, so that won't take long to do. Finish the Bronwyn sweater. I have the back finished and I'm working on the front right now. Both sleeves are done so once the… Continue reading January 2022 Crafting Goals
