Two finished things to share with you today. First up, my Curling Mist socks. Design is by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade and is her usual fun combination of a bit of texture/design with straightforward knitting. I opted to knit one sock with a right twist cable and one sock with a left twist cable,… Continue reading FO Friday

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
Year of Projects 2022: Week 11
A few new things to chat about this week. I finished by Color Frenzy cowl and you can read all the details on that fun knit in my post from Friday (2 days ago). I've been working on a new colorwork project. This is the Cinnamon Stars cowl, designed by Baroque Purls. The original was… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 11
WIP Wednesday: October 12, 2021
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
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
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
Fair Isle Friday – May 27, 2021
I finished up my Da Crofter's Kep hat for this week's Fair Isle Friday. I pulled a palette of woodsy colors - bark brown, leaf green, mushroom and blue sky - from my stash of Jamieson and Smith's jumper-weight yarns (mostly - there's one Jameson's in there too). I am basically happy with this, and… Continue reading Fair Isle Friday – May 27, 2021
Fair Isle Friday – May 14, 2021
I've been making small progress on my Da Crofter's Kep hat over the last week. I've finished most of the main pattern for the body of the hat, and have (I think) about 8 rounds left before the crown decreases happen. I did not take this with me as a travel project when we were… Continue reading Fair Isle Friday – May 14, 2021
