Only knitting and crochet projects to talk about this week. We've been enjoying our beautiful weather in the afternoons and working on putting in fencing for a garden/sitting area off our back deck. We have a LOT of deer here and with so little green, they tend to eat everything - including "non-deer-friendly" plants, so… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 16

Quite a few new projects to talk about this week but if you haven't seen it already, I finished my Break of Dawn shawl which you can read about in Friday's post here. I cast on for a test knit of Baroque Purls's Beanstalk Cowl. I'm using another skein from deep stash, which I think… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 15
FO Friday – Break of Dawn Shawl
A finished project to share today - the Break of Dawn Shawl. Design is from Janina Kallio of Woolenberry. I really enjoy her designs as they are a nice combination of simple quick knits with some pretty details. The pattern called for a minimum of 410 yards so I knew I was going to likely… Continue reading FO Friday – Break of Dawn Shawl

Year of Projects 2022: Week 12
Lots of finished things to talk about this week. I can finally share the preview knit I was working on for one of Brooklyn Tweed's spring design groups: Oiva. This is a VERY generous scarf - I'd even call it more like a narrow stole - with tons of texture. The pattern includes a textured… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 12

I'm participating in the Kacey Knits Casual KAL 2022 that runs through the end of April, but I've already started and finished up a project for it! I have been trying to work through some of the many, many mini skeins I have and this pattern is perfect for that task. I used 8 colors… Continue reading FO Friday: Color Frenzy Cowl

FO Friday: Oregon
I am absolutely delighted to say that my Oregon cardigan is finally finished! I normally don't take a whole year to finish a sweater, but I was using this for a project challenge and there were certain deadlines for it, so I couldn't work too far ahead - but regardless, it's done! The yarn and… Continue reading FO Friday: Oregon
