I've been focusing pretty exclusively on my Saligna sweater this week outside of my Year of Projects items, and I'm happy to report I am THIS close to a finish! I just have the last bit of the second sleeve and the sleeve cuff ribbing to knit, and then of course, the ends to weave… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: October 12, 2021

Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 15
This week I've been focusing on a non-YOP piece (my Saligna sweater test knit) but did manage to get two of my YOP's worked on. My DH also has found work travel has kicked back into high gear for him. He's home this upcoming week but then gone for almost 2, including the weekend, so… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 15
FO Friday: Tailfeather
I finished up my Tailfeather (Ravelry link) shawl/scarf this week. This design, by Amy Van De Laar of Baroque Purls, has two sizes and I opted for the wider version. I have had this one queued up for a while and thought it would be a really good match for some leftover Homage DK from… Continue reading FO Friday: Tailfeather
WIP Wednesday: October 5, 2021
A bunch of things on the needles right now to share, including one stealth start and finish, so let's jump right in! Keepsake (Ravelry Link): Romi Hill has a new "oddment's" collection that just released full of small/one-skein type projects. I really enjoyed making several from her previous collection, so I grabbed this one as… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: October 5, 2021
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 14

This is the last of the mixed sweater lot spin I've been… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 14
FO Friday: Stillness Shawl
Delighted to report I finished up my Stillness shawl (Ravelry link). This design, from Helen Stewart, was originally a mystery KAL but has been out long enough you can get the entire pattern to work on at once. I used three colors of yarn I had in stash, all fingering/sockweight yarns. The dark purple is… Continue reading FO Friday: Stillness Shawl
WIP Wednesday: September 29, 2021
A lot of in-progress WIPs to share this week. I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it will be October in another day or so. Honestly! This year has FLOWN past. Anyway, here's what I'm up to: Tailfeather Wrap (Ravelry link): I started this one last week and am… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: September 29, 2021

Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 13
Short and sweet update for this week. Stillness Shawl: I'm just over the 75% mark on this one - it's going to be huge. I have 3 rows left of the stockinette and eyelets band, and then one more section of easy lace to finish out the pattern. The rows are LONG now with 521… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 13
FO Friday – Lineate
Sliding into the weekend with a finished piece: Lineate (Ravelry link). This pretty, slouch-style hat from Blue Bee Studios features simple colorwork and striped bands, and knits up surprisingly quickly using fingering-weight yarn. The pattern is written for 5 sizes and I knit the middle size. I used approximately 102 yards of each colorway of… Continue reading FO Friday – Lineate
