Spoopy Socks started

I got this gorgeous yarn in the mail on Monday and decided I could not wait even a minute to get it caked up and cast on. The weather is perfect for fall and this yarn is making me excited for Halloween! The yarn is Area 51 Fibres "Speckle or Spook" and the pattern is...

Half Washcloth

I have been using my other half-sized washcloth quite a lot, and decided I needed to make some more of them. I'm going to play around a bit with the style and size until I find the recipe I like the best. This time around I made it without the yarnovers on the edges. In...

Hex Blanket progress (9)

The weather was so beautiful over the weekend so of course I used it as an excuse to work on my blanket again. I still haven't joined more hexes but I have finished weaving in all of the ends so far. It feels great going into the Fall with a completely clean slate. I'm ready...

Volcano Trail Cowl 2 progress (7)

I worked on my cowl a bunch over the weekend. There's just a few more rows left to go before I get to the bottom stockinette section. I'm not sure if I will get it done before the end of the month but I'm still really happy with all of the progress I've made. At...

Volcano Trail Cowl 2 progress (6)

More cowl progress today. I'm very nearly finished with the current section. Then there will be just one more garter section and the bottom border left to go. I don't know why but this version seems like it is going faster than my first one, even though I was doing way less purling the first...

Heel Toe Do Si Do Socks progress

I worked on these a little bit the past few days. I decided to follow the pattern like I was planning to, and it looks good so far. I'm especially happy with my choice to stop the cuff right at a color change because it makes the transition look extra clean. It will be a...

Volcano Trail Cowl 2 progress (5)

It has been a little bit since I've shown this project and I've once again made some significant progress. I'm well past the halfway point now and things are still going really well. I really love the gentle fade this one has compared to the first one. It made me very glad I put stitch...

Cat Doorstop finished

This little friend was very quick and easy to make. The only reason it wasn't done sooner was that I had to wait for the marbles I ordered as ballast to arrive in the mail before I could complete the body. I miss crochet sometimes, and the speed of the projects is one of the...

Heel Toe Do Si Do Socks started

I unfortunately had to drive up to see my family for a funeral this weekend. I wanted a small project I could bring with me, so I started these socks. I'm about 90% sure they will use the pattern Heel Toe Do Si Do, but I am still on the cuff right now. I like...

Volcano Trail Cowl 2 progress (4)

I managed to get quite a few rows done this week. Now I'm well into section 3, and have joined my third color of yarn. The fade in this cowl is very subtle but at least it is a bit more visible than the difference between sections 1 and 2 in the previous one. I'm...

Hex Blanket progress (8)

This is the first time I've had a Hex Blanket update since June! It's so nice that the weather is beginning to cool off and I can work on it without feeling like I am going to melt. I didn't attach any new hexes, but I did spend a bunch of time weaving in ends....

Cat Doorstop started

This is a project I've had in my head for a while now. We usually prop our bedroom door open to make sure that the cats don't accidentally trap themselves in with us overnight. Most of the time we just use an old slipper for this, but I have really been wanting a cute proper...
