If you missed my FO Friday post, you can check out the two projects I finished up last week - the Spirea shawl and my pair of striped plain vanilla socks.

FO Friday – May 26, 2023
Two finished things to talk about today! First, I finished the pair of striped plain vanilla socks I had been working on. These are knit using Hickory Lane Fiber Co's sock base (75/25 SW merino/nylon) in the Luster Dust colorway with a contrast cuff, heel and toe (and stripes). A quick and easy knit that's… Continue reading FO Friday – May 26, 2023

An unseasonably cold and rainy week here for us, so I enjoyed working on several things, curled up with a cup of tea and a helper kitty on the couch most evenings. Spirea Shawl: I have worked through the 8 repeats as called for in the pattern but still have a half a ball of… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 21

Back from a successful there and back again trip to the east coast to visit my folks. My mum was getting over a nasty bout of pneumonia so we had a pretty quiet visit, although my dad and I went out for coffee and a bookstore visit, and I tagged along while he led a… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 20

First up this week, I finished my Copenhagen Cardigan. This is a great little classic cardigan with a slightly cropped shape and pockets. Pattern design is by Petite Knit and while it is a pretty straightforward cardigan, this pattern is written assuming you understand some construction basics, so I'm not sure I would suggest it… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 18
FO Friday – Teacup Shawl
I finished up the Teacup Shawl that was one of my cast-on madness starts from earlier this year. I'm trying to work my way through that list of oodles of started projects to turn them into finished ones. The design is by Kelene Kinnersley and it's the first of hers I've knit. She has several… Continue reading FO Friday – Teacup Shawl

Currently on the needles for active knitting projects, I'm working on: Copenhagen Cardigan: I've got the body finished and sleeve 1 is done. I plan on working on sleeve 2 this week and will see if… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 17

I finished up my Pebble Beach shawl this week. You can read all the details about it over here. I'm continuing to chip away at my Copenhagen Cardigan, designed by Petite Knit. I've worked the body down to the point where I inserted the pockets (which look a bit odd hanging out the bottom but… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 15
FO Friday – Pebble Beach Shawl
I finished up my Pebble Beach shawl and am delighted with how it turned out. The pattern is a oldie but goodie from Helen Stewart. I knit the size small (which calls for a single skein of sock yarn) but enough leftover of my skein that I added on 2 repeats of the eyelet pattern… Continue reading FO Friday – Pebble Beach Shawl

I didn't get it together for an FO Friday post this week, so I'll start off my YOP update with my finished Kingsfoil socks. The pattern is from Virginia Sattler-Reimer and I used a skein of Bounce Sock in the LOTR Book Nook colorway for mine, so an all-things-LOTR-themed pair! This is actually a fairly… Continue reading Year of Project 2023: Week 14
