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

FO Friday: Bronwyn Sweater
I finally finished up my Bronwyn sweater this week, and have been really glad to have such a warm, cozy sweater because it has been COLD here. Designed by Melissa Wehrle of NeoKnits as part of a Brooklyn Tweed collection, this sweater is knit from the bottom hem up, and is worked in the round… Continue reading FO Friday: Bronwyn Sweater

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
FO Friday: Elzy and Dots and Lines Hats

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

I think I have 3 more repeats (or 36 rounds) left on the body to get it to the underarms, which is my goal for this quarter on this project. The above image is closer to the actual denim… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: August 17, 2021

Not much to report this week on my one non-Year of Projects project, but here's where I am on Bronwyn currently. I have four repeats of the wheat-sheaf cable just about completed. I am estimating I will need nine total repeats to get to the portion of the body where I split for the underarms… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: August 11, 2021
WIP Wednesday – August 3, 2021
Since I'm highlighting the Year of Projects pieces I'm working on every Sunday, I thought I'd just pop in with a quick update on a non-YOP piece that I'm focusing on this month, which is my Bronwyn Sweater. This is break month in the Harry Potter Ravelry group I'm in, so no classes specifically but… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – August 3, 2021
