I have several projects that suitable to share this week. Enough work has been done on each that they are out of the blob phase. I was surprised when I pulled these projects together to see that they all sort of go together color-wise, and not one of the colors is blue! The stripey rectangle at… Continue reading A New Color Story Emerges

Major Teal Spring Garden Tee
Camp Loopy, Project #2 is done! This month, the task was to knit something that you spied in "the wild". I have seen the Spring Garden Tee pop up on many Ravelry queues and watched a KAL from afar. Now I have my own. I'm mostly happy with it - these photos are all pre-any-washing… Continue reading Major Teal Spring Garden Tee
WIP Wednesday Something Old Something New
This week I pulled out the Rainbow Blanket for my daughter to work another color stripe and then some. Might as well work on a blanket while the air conditioner is running right? I've also got my yarn ready for two more projects! I'm in a sweet spot right now - the next Camp Loopy… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Something Old Something New
FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
Here's to not being that knitter this year who's children do not have the proper accessories for the winter season. Instead I can be that knitter that makes the kid pose in a wool hat outside in the summer. By the time winter rolls around my son will hopefully still like this hat. I really liked this… Continue reading FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
WIP Wednesday No Surprises Edition
Over the weekend I rediscovered Head to Toe: Kids Knit Accessories - there are a number of great patterns in there! As I talked about last time, I have a case of start-itis, and so I started a new project. I offered the book to my daughter to pick out a few things I could… Continue reading WIP Wednesday No Surprises Edition
Another book started and Sweater Opposites
Another week, another book, and unfortunately not because I finished The Secret Place. I would consider picking it up again at some future point, I just couldn't get through it in a week. I had also grabbed Dark Places from the library and I am really glad that I did. I loved Gone Girl and… Continue reading Another book started and Sweater Opposites
Dirty Panther on the Coast
For the first Camp Loopy project, we had to incorporate something we'd like to "Spy" on vacation / safari. I already had the pattern in mind, Coast Starlight Shawl by verybusymonkey. When I was browsing the yarn the Dirty Panther colorway of madelinetosh tosh merino light jumped out at me. Sure, I'm not at all likely… Continue reading Dirty Panther on the Coast
Project progress
Hello July! It's a new month and I have a new project! Two actually, but I can't show you the sample project. Instead I can show you my new Camp Loopy project - a Spring Garden Tee for me. I'm using Cascade Pima Cotton in the most awesome shade of Teal that has ever existed… Continue reading Project progress
WIP Wednesday and Summer Startitis
At long last, summer has returned! Things are shaping up to be busy, but fun. After a stretch of books that I picked up but did not finish, I grabbed the Luckiest Girl Alive from the library this week. It's not exactly what I thought, I can't stand the main character, but it's got enough… Continue reading WIP Wednesday and Summer Startitis
FO Friday Dimetrodon
This summer I'm participating in the Planet June Dinosaur Crochet-A-Long. Nate has been asking me to make a Spinosaurus for a while now, and while the Dimetrodon is not quite the same thing, he was happy to see it. The pattern pack I purchased included my favorite dinosaur, the Parasaurolophus, so it's a win all… Continue reading FO Friday Dimetrodon
