You’ve got to appreciate a pattern I cast on another for after finishing the first one. Seeing as I’m always hungry for new patterns, and all.

Since unpinning and fixing that pesky dropped stitch, this shawl has only left my shoulders for me to clean the kitchen. It feels wonderful and beautiful and I can only [...]

Because it is really irritating me that I’ve only been posting these weekly WIP posts, and nothing else, I finally got around to buying some dish soap and blocking the second Ishbel.

So hey, how about a FO post over the weekend? I’d like that.
There is, however, one problem.

I can’t believe I’m hoping this is a [...]

Yup, looks like this is going to be a Thursday WIP round-up. I thought about it yesterday, a few times actually, but all at bad times.
Brrrrrrr. It’s been raining the storm of the season and the house is chilly. I keep lighting candles for warmth and comfort and drinking lots of tea. Speaking of tea—I [...]

This was a long time coming, oops. But now I’m trying to mark things as “done” in my head, and that includes posting about it here—not just wearing it. ;)

Right now I’m working on:

Through the Loops! Mystery Socks
Swatches for Blustery, so I can be part of Vestvember except really late

I finished the knitting on the shawl. OMG! It took a little over a week — I thought it would take much, much longer. Someone should’ve warned me that even a beginner like me [...]

Fall break occurred last weekend and I flew off for a weekend of fun, games, and some knitting with a good friend. The friend doesn’t knit, but I tried to make up for that.

Yes. I’m doing it! I’m knitting a shawl! Ishbel, to be exact. The small version. I was really surprised how quickly it’s [...]

Because of my firm belief that school is trying to kill me, last night I sat down and knit with wild abandon. Not for a finished object, normally my modus operandi, but because I needed to feel the yarn between my fingers. And at least something would progress. Because I didn’t have suitable sock yarn [...]
