Here's what I'm currently working on that's not a Year of Project project: Lineate Hat (Ravelry link), pattern by Elizabeth Doherty of Bluebee Studios. I love her design sense and all the details she includes in a pattern, and this one is no exception. I'm knitting this using two half-skeins of the Valkyrie yarn base… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: September 21, 2021

Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 12
Progress continues on my Stillness Shawl, design by Helen Stewart. I hit the 50% mark on it this week, and I'm now working on the textured star section in the silver gray. I'll keep working along on this over the next week and see if I can get to around the 75% mark. This week,… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 12
FO Friday: Elzy and Dots and Lines Hats
Two finished projects to share for this FO Friday! First up is the Elzy Hat. This was a preview knit I worked up for Brooklyn Tweed's School's In fall collection. It's written for fingering weight yarn - both BT Loft and BT Peerie could be used for it - but any fingering weight will work.… Continue reading FO Friday: Elzy and Dots and Lines Hats
WIP Wednesday: September 14, 2021
A few new things to mention this week for my WIP in Wednesday (non-Year of Projects things): I cast on for a Dots and Lines hat, pattern by Justyna Lorkowska. This is a textured DK-weight hat and it gave me an excuse to work through a single skein of Hedgehog Fibres DK merino in a… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: September 14, 2021
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 11
I started and finished Kacey Herlihy's Fallen Cowl this week. I really like her designs. They aren't terribly difficult but they have nice details in them. I've knit a cowl pattern of hers and now this lace cowl in a worsted weight, and have several other designs of hers queued up. I used 275 yards… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 11
WIP Wednesday: September 8, 2021
Catching up with a couple of non-Year of Projects items today. I signed on for a stranded colorwork yoke sweater test knit for The Cable and Lace Co, after browsing through some tester calls over on Ravelry. I really liked the soft pinks and grays and almost neutral feel of the designer's original palette, which… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: September 8, 2021
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 10
Another short update for my YOP things this week. I've been working on a test knit and another non-YOP knit as well, so I'll have more on those for WIP Wednesday, but for now: I finished clue 1 and started clue 2 of the Stillness Shawl from Helen Stewart. This originally was a mystery shawl… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 10
Year of Projects Update: Week 9
A short and sweet update from me this week as we turn from August into September mid-week. Foss Sweater: Finished! I posted about that on Friday if you're interested in seeing some pictures. I think this one is going to get a lot of wear this fall. Stillness Shawl: After I posted my update last… Continue reading Year of Projects Update: Week 9
FO Friday: Foss Sweater
Delighted to say that I finished up the Foss sweater this week and got it dunked into an overdye bath that I think corrected most (let's call it 95%) of the issue with the dye lot. Project Details: This is the Foss for Women sweater (Ravelry link), designed by Jennifer Toland. It's a great casual… Continue reading FO Friday: Foss Sweater
September Plans
I normally would have a WIP Wednesday post here but since I've knit a whopping 6 rounds on my Bronwyn sweater since I've been focusing on finishing up the Foss sweater (which is done - more on that on Friday!), I thought I'd outline my plans for September here. As we edge closer to fall,… Continue reading September Plans
