FO Friday: March 17, 2023
Two finished things to talk about today! I zoomed through a Mountain Topper Hat. I decided to use the leftovers from my Quill shawl, so the colors in this might look familiar. All of the yarns are Spun Right Round Sport. I still didn't use up all of the leftovers so I suspect there will… Continue reading FO Friday: March 17, 2023

From last week...... I was able to finish up the Bumble hat. Having finished it once, found a round that was bothering me with a mistake, I ripped back to that point and reknit. Much better! This one is slated for the donation box as I collect things for the next cold weather season. The… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 11

I've been working on some smaller projects including picking up the Bumble Hat I cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 10

I managed to finish up my Quill shawl this week and I'm delighted with how it turned out. I knit this as part of a challenge to make something that was owl-themed and used at least 600 yards. The pattern is by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade, and calls for 3 colors of DK-weight. I… Continue reading FO Friday – March 3, 2023

I… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 9

Progress continues along on various things. I am about 75% finished the Carrasco cowl using the 4-color sportweight gradient from The Unique Sheep. I have 2 more full pattern repeats to go to finish up the first of my Dragonstone Socks (plus the plain rounds at the toe), and I have decided to try to… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 7
