Kind of a short and truncated YOP week for me with the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I mostly worked on one project, but will mention I did do a bit of work on my wool applique project. (No image as it really looks almost the same.) My DH and I did a bit… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 22

Quite a few on-the-go things I'm working on right now, or have recently finished up: I finished up the Hoarfrost hat (Ravelry link) this week. I really like this pattern as it's nice and basic, but knits up quickly with a fun texture. The yarn is Dragon Hoard Yarns DK in the colorway "Goblin Market",… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: November 24, 2021

I finished up the October Hat (Ravelry link) this week, which also meant I used up all of the Carodan Farms worsted weight in this color from stash! I think this rustic neutral works great with the cables. I did work less rounds of the ribbing than the pattern calls for as I was light… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 21

I finished up the Sprocket Socks (Ravelry link) I was working on. These are a fun way to use up minis or scrap sock yarn. The pattern has detailed instructions but also has more basic "recipe" where you can easily add in your own personal details. I opted to use 6 instead of 5 colors… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: November 17, 2021

This week, I finished up the first bobbin of singles for the 8-oz spin I've been working on slowly. I have 3 more oz of singles to spin on bobbin #2 and I'll start that this week. (You might remember I spun a 2-oz sample skein of this roving, so I've got the remaining 6… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 20

A few non-Year of Projects things on the go right now of note: Sprocket Socks. Pattern is by Pip and Pin and it's a fun way to use up some minis or sock yarn scraps. I've finished sock #1 and have made it through the heel of sock #2. Hoping to finish this pair up… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: November 10, 2021

I finished up the March Hat (Ravelry link) I was working on last week. This is a freebie pattern from Meghan Babin (now one of the co-owners of Hudson & West, but she was also an Interweave Knits editor for a few years). This is a straightforward knit/purl textured hat and I used up about… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 19
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 18
Just a few small things to update this week. I've been kind of under the weather and between that and the kitchen remodel, not a lot of time to focus on projects. I did cast on a hat project to use the remaining few hundred yarns of a Carodan Farm Shop worsted-weight I had in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 18
FO Friday – Saligna Sweater
The test knit I had been working on during September and October released yesterday, so I can finally share some finished/modeled photos with you. The pattern is Saligna (Ravelry link here, but you can also find it on LoveCrafts) by Catherine Rein of The Cable and Lace Co. I was trolling the test knit thread… Continue reading FO Friday – Saligna Sweater

A few of the things I've been working on this week: I finished up the Pussywillow Cap (Ravelry link). This is a nice, basic ribbed hat that knits up quickly using one strand of sock yarn held together with one strand of mohair. I used Travelling Yarn's 757 Sock in Alchemy of Herbs and their… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – October 26, 2021
