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

Year of Projects: Week 9
Just a few things this week since my big focus was getting the Oregon Cardigan finished up (more details on that are in my post from Friday). I have been working away at the preview knit which I will be able to share photos of in another week or so - and I'm in the… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 9
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
Year of Projects 2022: Week 7
Lots of projects on the go this week, so here we go! I finished up my Constant Moral Support hat. The pattern is from Hunter Hammersen, and I used the last ball and a half of Jaeger Roma I had lurking in my stash from a sweater knit last year. (Is it just me, or… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 7
Year of Projects 2022: Week 6
This week I've been focusing on a preview knit project, a large scarf/stole for Brooklyn Tweed, but unfortunately, I can't show any pictures of it until the preview week around the first of March. That's percolating in the background but in the meantime, I've also been working on: A new cast-on for a KAL with… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 6
FO Friday: Princezna Hyacinta Handspun
I focused on getting my singles finished up and plied this week so I have a completed skein of handspun yarn to share for FO Friday today. Original fiber: A set of four 1-oz batts from KCKnits Etsy shop (which appears to be closed indefinitely) in the way-back stash machine (2017? maybe earlier?). These were… Continue reading FO Friday: Princezna Hyacinta Handspun
Year of Projects 2022 – Week 5
This week, I finished up sock #1 of the By Naughty Design pair. Pattern is from Hunter Hammersen and yarn is from Long Dog Yarns, their Bounce Sock Yarn in A Shortcut to Mushrooms colorway, the first of their LOTR-themed club colors. These are a bit fussy to work with lots of twisted stitches but… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022 – Week 5
Year of Projects: Week 4
This week, I'm working on a new spinning project. I have a lot of handcarded batts in stash and I decided that I would tackle a set of those next. These are from KCKnits on Etsy (although I think her store is permanently closed) and the colorway, Princezna Hyacinta, is inspired by an Alphonse Mucha… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 4

Year of Projects: Week 3
A long and really busy work and life week here, but I did get a fair amount done on some YOP pieces: I finished up the pair of Desert Vista Dyeworks self-striping socks. The yarn is DVD's Viso sock yarn base in the color Halley's Comet. I added in a pale pink mini-skein from stash… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 3
