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 →
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... Continue Reading →
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,... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
I got a few rows done of color number 16 and once again I am incredibly pleased with everything. This latest colorway is the last of the bunch that I overdyed myself. It fits right in with the overall vibe of the piece and it makes me really happy. I love the interplay that is... Continue Reading →
I am now on mini number 15 and I think I might at least be nearing the end of this section of the cardigan. I tried one side on and was actually pretty happy with things. It definitely could use a little more length, but it isn't short enough to be considered cropped or anything... Continue Reading →
There's just a little progress today. I made it about halfway through this mini, and need to swap to use the rest on the other half of the sweater. The farther along I get with this project the more I am enjoying this sideways construction. It is making things really fun to work on. Part... Continue Reading →
This project is still moving along very smoothly. I managed to hit a nice pause point for this photo where you can see both halves of the cardigan together without a tangle of yarn in between. It is such a fun construction and I am finally starting to be able to envision what the finished... Continue Reading →
