Delighted to report I finished up my Stillness shawl (Ravelry link). This design, from Helen Stewart, was originally a mystery KAL but has been out long enough you can get the entire pattern to work on at once. I used three colors of yarn I had in stash, all fingering/sockweight yarns. The dark purple is… Continue reading FO Friday: Stillness Shawl

Short and sweet update for this week. Stillness Shawl: I'm just over the 75% mark on this one - it's going to be huge.

I've knit a cowl pattern of hers and now this lace cowl in a worsted weight, and have several other designs of hers queued up. I used 275 yards… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 11

This originally was a mystery shawl… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 10

Year of Projects Update – Week 8
First up for this week, I'm delighted to say I finished spinning the mixed BFL/silk roving from Pigeon Roof Studios I had on my wheel. The original roving was a 75/25 blend in the colorway "Dovecote". I'm spinning this as part of a larger sweater-lot mash-up all in these gray-ish teal colors. The final skein… Continue reading Year of Projects Update – Week 8

First up, the Foss Sweater. I finished the body, knit the boatneck ribbing, did a… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 7
