It's all done! I got very distracted but I finally managed to get it finished. This project was every bit as enjoyable as the first time I made it, but I probably should have knit something else in between these two sweaters just to keep things more interesting for myself. I love the color of... Continue Reading →
Snow Country Scarf 2 finished!
This scarf went even faster than the first one! Even with the adjustment I made to try to conserve yarn, I had to stop one row short of what the pattern calls for in width. On the plus side, I used up the entire skein of gold yarn. I also had enough of the yellow... Continue Reading →
Snow Country Scarf finished!
It's finished! I am really happy with this finished scarf. There was just barely enough black yarn in my stash to add 2 rows of single crochet to the ends. Once I finished with those I decided not to do the crab stitch border. If there had been enough of the black left I think... Continue Reading →
Kraken Cowl finished!
I hope you had a lovely xmas if you celebrate it! I have been enjoying some time off this week, and have used that time to finish this cowl! The colors are not quite as high contrast as I would prefer, but you can definitely still see the image in the colorwork. I also realized... Continue Reading →
Scrappy Xmas Shorties finished!
All of the ends have finally been tamed! I really love how these turned out. The fun stripes make all the effort worth it. I already have a pair of xmas shorties that use some of the same yarn, but these make me extra happy because they finished off some scraps that I couldn't bear... Continue Reading →
Scrappy Seattle Shorties finished!
I managed to get these off the needles just in time for a November finish! Part of me wishes I had taken the time to alternate the blue yarn with the variegated for the foot, but I am still happy with this result. I am definitely glad to use that Knit Picks yarn for the... Continue Reading →
Single Malt finished!
It's done! And with plenty of time to spare before xmas! If it took slightly longer than I had hoped, that's probably because of all the moving chaos. The knitting process for this sweater was great the whole way through. I also really enjoyed knitting a garment out of this non-superwash wool. The sweater is... Continue Reading →
Very Green Socks finished!
I'm posting a little later than usual, but I got my socks finished! They do still need to be washed, but at least all the knitting and weaving in ends is done. I really like the way these turned out. The silver toes are a little silly but since nobody will ever see them but... Continue Reading →
Another Seamless Circular Dishcloth
I wanted to use up some more cotton yarn so I decided to make yet another dishcloth. I keep playing around with variations of this pattern to find out what I like best. The "seamless" version, which starts with a provisional cast on and ends with grafting, definitely looks the best. This cloth was made... Continue Reading →
Seamless Circular Dishcloth
I finished this a couple days ago, but it had to wait because I was too excited to show off my finished tee. I cast on fewer stitches than the pattern called for, forgetting that the Dishie yarn makes a slightly smaller cloth to begin with. The result is almost but not quite too small... Continue Reading →
Napatree Tee finished!
I am so excited that this project is done! Even better, it is still summertime and I can actually wear it a bit before the weather changes! It definitely required a few alterations to fit my tastes, but they were worth it because I love the finished product. The whole thing was done with a... Continue Reading →
Fluff Nugget Fix finished!
I'm skipping my blanket update for this week so I can share this finished project instead! It has not been re-blocked yet but otherwise it is all done. The sleeves ended up needing more length than I originally thought, but I am very happy with how they turned out. This cardigan is so squishy and... Continue Reading →
