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

FO: BFL/Silk Handspun Yarn

I'm happy to say that's accomplished and I went into the new year being able to start a… Continue reading FO: BFL/Silk Handspun Yarn
Year of Projects 2022: Week 1

The colorway is Halley's Comet, and it's alternating stripes of a dark blue and a lightly speckled… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 1

Happy holidays to everyone, whichever holiday you celebrate! Here's my final YOP 2021 post to close out the year.

Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 19
I finished up the March Hat (Ravelry link) I was working on last week. This is a freebie pattern from Meghan Babin (now one of the co-owners of Hudson & West, but she was also an Interweave Knits editor for a few years). This is a straightforward knit/purl textured hat and I used up about… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 19

This week I've been focusing on a non-YOP piece (my Saligna sweater test knit) but did manage to get two of my YOP's worked on. My DH also has found work travel has kicked back into high gear for him. He's home this upcoming week but then gone for almost 2, including the weekend, so… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 15
