It’s That Fast Cowl finished!

Cowl complete! This one felt way faster than the previous cowl, probably because of the bulky yarn. I really enjoyed the pattern and love the texture it creates in the cowl. I have a little over a skein of this yarn left, so I will likely adapt a hat to use this same texture to...

It’s That Fast Cowl progress

This cowl is coming along nicely. You can see I've about doubled the length of it since yesterday. I continue to really enjoy how this pattern looks interesting and yet is incredibly easy to memorize. Most likely one or two more days will be enough to finish this project at this rate. Work has entered...

It’s That Fast Cowl started

I've started another cowl for my spouse. This time I'm using the bulky version of this Hobbii yarn and it is knitting up super quick. If I can focus on it for another day or two I should be able to get it done in a hurry. While I don't love knitting with acrylic, I...

Simple Cowl finished!

I got it done before the weekend! The spouse tried it on and liked it, although if I make another he might prefer it a little more snug. It came out very cozy and I am really happy with the acrylic yarn I used. The only complaint I had is that it's so fluffy it...

Simple Cowl progress (3)

I only got a few rows done on this cowl in the last couple days. I had some dental work done this week and I've been tired and sore and not much in the mood for knitting. Hopefully as I keep feeling better my knitting mojo will return. There's not much left to do on...

Simple Cowl progress (2)

I got quite a lot of the body of this cowl done over the weekend. The stockinette sure goes way faster than the ribbing does. There's just a few more inches to go and then I'll be back to ribbing again. This project is going very quickly but it is not the most exciting thing....

Simple Cowl progress

I finished the ribbing on this cowl and have just started into the main body. This pattern is extremely simple, plain stockinette, so it is perfect tv knitting. I would like to get this done ASAP so the spouse can wear it right away, but that means taking time away from my sweater knitting. It's...

Simple Cowl started

Sorry about the lack of post yesterday. I finished weaving in all of the ends on my Hex Blanket but didn't have time to take a photo and post it. Now that such a huge project is behind me I have more mental space to think about new things. I decided to make my first...

Volcano Trail 2 finished!

I finished my Volcano Trail number 2 on Friday night. In this photo it is still a little damp from blocking, but I couldn't wait to start showing it off to folks. It was also my first opportunity to use my new sweater drying rack, and having the extra airflow really did make a big...

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...

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...
