All done! It feels strange but great to get two pairs of socks finished within a few days. The last bits of these socks just flew off the needles. I enjoyed being back to two-at-a-time after the slower intarsia in the round of my Pride socks. I absolutely adore the yarn + pattern combination here.... Continue Reading →
Remember these? They've been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for me to finish my Pride KAL socks. When I left off a few weeks ago I had just finished the gusset decreases. I worked on them a bunch this weekend, and now I'm a few rows into the toe. This yarn is significantly nicer to... Continue Reading →
As you can see, I did not meet my goal of finishing these over the weekend. I made a ton of progress, but still have a few inches of the foot and toe left to go. I've been getting a bit frustrated with them, mostly because I've been trying to rush through them so I... Continue Reading →
Watching other folks post about their rainbow socks is bringing me some joy while mine are on hold. In the meantime I've been pushing ahead on these. I was hoping to get the heel turn finished but there was not quite enough time. I've mostly done the heel flap and will get the rest before... Continue Reading →
As you can see, I decided to go ahead and keep working on my Hoar Frost socks to get them off the needles. The good news is that I will finish the leg today so I don't have to worry about the pattern on the back anymore. This is just one of those patterns that... Continue Reading →
I reached a bit of a mental impasse. I need to decide if I want to move the Hoar Frost project onto waste yarn or a spare cable so I can reclaim the needles like I had originally planned. Otherwise I need to set the Pride socks away until the Hoar Frosts are done. Both... Continue Reading →
It's a bonus weekend post! Since progress on these is going to stop for a while, I wanted to show you where I am. I'm planning to set this project aside soon so I can get started on my Pride Socks right away on the 1st of June. I wanted to at least finish the... Continue Reading →
It's done it's done it's done!! I finished it on Thursday night, just in time to count for my monthly goals. It's not blocked yet, unfortunately, since all my blocking supplies are at the other house. Hopefully I'll get a chance to run over there within the next few weeks and grab them so I...

I am so close to the finish line! I'm all done with the Amethyst Sky, again. There's only a few rows of garter and the bind off to do. I might try to finish it up tonight so I can get in under the wire for my goals this month! This shawl was going so... Continue Reading →
I finished the last of the lace! If you look closely you can see that I have started another 2-color section instead of finishing according to the pattern. I decided I couldn't stand to leave that purple yarn unused when I (probably) have enough to do another section. I am winging it a bit because... Continue Reading →
The shawl is moving forward much more easily now that all the cables are done. The current lace section is already almost half finished. I'm leaning toward adding an extra section to bring the lovely purple yarn back in one more time. On the one hand I'm eager to be finished, but on the other... Continue Reading →
I have been steadily working on my shawl and am officially finished with all of the cables! Hooray! That also means I'm finished with the purple yarn, which I am much sadder about. It feels like I still have a ton of it left, and in fact I weighed it and still have almost 30... Continue Reading →
