FO Friday – Time Trades Shawl
Wow! This shawl is beautiful. I know I’m totally biased as the dyer of the yarn, but the pattern by Caitlin Hunter is just so lovely. I had a great time knitting this project and for such a big shawl, it was over too quickly. I recommend reading through this entire post 😉 Here areContinue reading “FO Friday – Time Trades Shawl”

I guess let’s start with some info.Pattern: Earnest by Joji LocatelliYarn: Agirlandherwool in Rose Tea on the Sock base. I ended up using 300g of the yarn. I was inspired to knit this cardigan by Julia of the HappyContinue reading “Earnest Cardigan”
Project Highlight – Neat Ripple Blanket
If you read back to one of my first posts, I discussed wanting to rip out my Cozy Memories blanket. I just wasn’t a huge fan of it and knowing that the squares might not all align well was driving me crazy. I decided I wanted to crochet a blanket instead, thinking it would goContinue reading “Project Highlight – Neat Ripple Blanket”
Gnome Zombie Socks
I love to knit while I’m at the movies, if you haven’t noticed at this point. When I’m out of random stockinette projects that I can take with me, I bring a pair of socks. I started these socks earlier in the year for that very reason with plans to just leave them available forContinue reading “Gnome Zombie Socks”
December DVD socks
Well, I finished my December socks without a hitch. I knit the Oh, Hello sock pattern by Deb Buckingham. When I use sock patterns, I just use the stitch pattern and otherwise do my own numbers with a fish lips kiss heel. There’s probably more to this pattern than the stitch pattern, but I thinkContinue reading “December DVD socks”
On the WIP Side 12.20.19
I’m working on generally the same projects, but I have started to break through and make some noticeable differences. The best part is that I’m on break from work until the New Year and so I’m anticipating a lot more progress. (See my previous post about the infamous Friday-Lauren. Gosh I never learn.) Total: 6Continue reading “On the WIP Side 12.20.19”
November Socks – DVD
As I mentioned in some of the On the WIP Side posts, I’m participating in the Desert Vista Dyeworks year long knit a long where you knit a pair of socks out of her yarn each month. I’ve completed each month so far this year and plan to do all 12 months. Yesterday, I wasContinue reading “November Socks – DVD”
Project Highlight – Spinning – Niagara Falls
A while ago (I’m scared to look at how long ago), I won a beautiful 4 oz braid from Created by Elsie B in an instagram giveaway. The colorway is called Niagara Falls and I believe it was a OOAK (one of a kind). I’d been admiring her braids for so long, but my spinningContinue reading “Project Highlight – Spinning – Niagara Falls”
Bumble Hat
This weekend I have a birthday party for my cousin’s one year old son. Last weekend, my mom and I were discussing gifts and she said “why don’t you make something?” Genius, right? I’ve knit a few gifts here and there and have made hats for babies before. I’m not sure why I’m not moreContinue reading “Bumble Hat”
