I started these up over the weekend and worked on them in bits and pieces when I needed a break from tiny fingering weight stitches. The "starfish" colorway looks great when it is worked up. I made a total of four, in two different styles of dishcloth just to change things up a little and... Continue Reading →
This was one of my goals for the month of April. I really thought I'd cast on a lot sooner, but I got very distracted by socks for some reason. My first Napatree Tee is one of the best fitting garments I've ever made, and I am excited to get started on another one. This... Continue Reading →
They're done! They still need some ends woven in, but I managed to get them finished in less than a week! I feel so much better about my sock knitting mojo now. These worked up super fast and I enjoyed every stitch. Maybe with the last pair my brain was just trying to tell me... Continue Reading →
My plan to knit up some socks in a hurry seems to be working. I finished the second heel and am already halfway through the ribbing. These have been a joy to knit and the colors are just the thing for springtime. With a little luck I can probably get these off the needles in... Continue Reading →
I think I needed to convince myself that I am capable of knitting some socks that don't take forever, so I started these as soon as I finished my green ones. I'm using two minis from my Chromatic Yarns advent from 2021, "goblin apprentice" and "myconid sprout". I named them after the goblin apprentice colorway... Continue Reading →
So maybe this is cheating slightly, considering that they are still wet from blocking and there are ends that still need to be woven in. The important thing is that they are off the needles! I really don't know if it was something about this project or my mood or what, but these socks took... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I think all it takes for me to get invested in a project is to publicly state that I am tired of it! Suddenly I've almost completely finished the foot and am just about ready to start the toe. I did run out of the leftover stripey yarn I had been using, but luckily... Continue Reading →
I'm almost halfway through this ball of yarn. I need to work on it a little bit faster if I want to meet my goal of using up the whole ball this month. The pattern continues to be very engaging, but the combination of warmer weather and the growing size of this blanket makes everything... Continue Reading →
I'm still plugging away at these socks. There's a good amount of progress since last week, mostly because I've been refusing to start anything from my queue until I am happier with these. I am sure that I will break down soon and cast on something new, but at least these socks will be fairly... Continue Reading →
It has been done for a few days now, but it is finally blocked and dry and ready to show off! My calculations for the brim seemed to have worked out perfectly. You can wear it with the purple brim, or flip it inside out and have the variegated yarn the whole way up. I... Continue Reading →
We have an extra post today because I wanted to share this project too. I was not content to stop at two pot scrubbers. I found the pattern for the Tawashi Knot a while ago, and finally decided to try it. From looking at the photos I thought it would be a small scrubber, but... Continue Reading →
My hat is still not dry, and I am not quite up to starting another big project just yet. That meant that another scrubber was exactly the correct speed. I modified the pattern slightly on this one, casting on only 14 stitches and knitting 18 rows. It makes a better match for our old scrubby... Continue Reading →
