Countdown Cardi finished!

It's all done! This project took just slightly over a month to finish, which feels pretty fast for a dk weight sweater for me. Working with my advent minis was a bit of a pain due to all the ends that needed to be woven in, but it was totally worth it. The final sweater...

Sea Lettuce Shawl finished!

I love how this turned out! It is amazing to me how I went from absolutely hating this yarn when I was knitting with it, to being perfectly fine with it here. It helps that I really love the colors, and I love how they play together in the different size stripes that I added....

Here's the finished neckband of my cardi! All that is left now is binding off and blocking. The ribbing is not quite the full length that the pattern calls for, but I tried it on and it looks good to me. The front sections of the cardi are a bit wider than the pattern anyhow,...

Sea Lettuce Shawl progress (3)

This shawl is coming along nicely. I think I have used up all of the gray yarn that I can. There might be enough for a border row depending on how big the last row ends up being. Right now it has a 46" wingspan but I am hoping to add 5-6 more rows before...

Green Static Socks progress (3)

I managed to get a few rows done while I was in the office this week. Once I am finished with my cardigan I might put some time in on these, at least enough to get past the heels. I really like the way this yarn knits up. There is always something changing which keeps...

Sea Lettuce Shawl progress (2)

I have already reached the point in this shawl where I am switching the dominant color from gray to green. It feels like things are going really quickly, even though I have to really pace myself with crochet to avoid hurting my arm. I've already used up about half of my yarn. It is a...

Countdown Cardi progress (12)

It's been a few days since I've shown my cardigan and I've made a ton of progress. As you can see in the photo, I finished the back sections of both halves, seamed them together, and started the collar/button band. I am pretty happy with how all of the colors turned out. There were only...

Sea Lettuce Shawl progress

I always enjoy how fast crochet projects work up. Instead of fighting against this yarn to knit a few rows of ribbing, I've created a huge section of shawl in just a couple days. At this point I've used up about half of my gray yarn and only a little bit of the green. As...

Green Static Socks progress (2)

Here's my sock progress for the week. I did work on them a tiny bit outside of the office, mostly because my in-office day was too busy to get much knitting done. They will still take a while but I want to get in more than just a couple of rows per week.

Sea Lettuce Shawl started!

I have been struggling to work on my Highway Cowl. I really love the pattern, but I absolutely hated working with the yarn. I don't know what it is about the wool/acrylic blend, but it has just enough wool stickiness to be annoying, and just enough of a lack of give from the acrylic to...

Happy Valentine's Day, dear readers. Today I am still in love with this cardigan! You can see one side has a few more rows than the other. That's because I am no longer trying to use up the entire mini before moving on to the next color, which means I don't have to work both...

Countdown Cardi progress (10)

I like this photo because it shows different parts of the cardigan in a new way. The yellow bits are what I added over the weekend. I split for the neck on both halves, and got a few rows of the back done on each. It feels like things are flying along now that I...
