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

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: March 17, 2023
Two finished things to talk about today! I zoomed through a Mountain Topper Hat. I decided to use the leftovers from my Quill shawl, so the colors in this might look familiar. All of the yarns are Spun Right Round Sport. I still didn't use up all of the leftovers so I suspect there will… Continue reading FO Friday: March 17, 2023

A mixed bag of things to report on this week, so I'm going to jump right in. I finished up the Quill shawl and posted about that in my FO Friday post, so you've likely seen that one already.
