Frequently in my blog I talk about sample knitting, something I do enjoy. When I take on a sample knitting project, the yarn and project usually are a surprise to me and I appreciate the opportunity to try out a design, yarn, or even colorway that I would not normally pick up on my own.… Continue reading Fo Friday Baby Alpaca Cowl

Happy Halloween!
We're ready for Halloween tonight! The weather is predicted to be on the chilly side, perfect for all the Elsa's out there, including my own. My daughter is still big into all things princess. Last year she was Wonder Woman (technically a princess!) and I thought maybe this year we could something different. Elsa, in… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Halloween Listicles
This candy corn buddy I made for my niece and of course I didn't get any photos of her with it! The pattern was easy and it worked up quick. Click here for the pattern; it is on the RepeatCrafterMe website, not yet on Ravelry. I haven't done a list in a while! Halloween is… Continue reading Halloween Listicles
FO Friday Loopy Academy Assignment Done and a Wolf
I love the idea of Loopy Academy! Today I can share my first project of the Freshman year first semester, the Dembow Hat for Dan. I used Malabrigo Arroyo in Chircas and this hat is so fabulous. I've made hats for Dan before and the last one, is just a bit too short. I worked… Continue reading FO Friday Loopy Academy Assignment Done and a Wolf
WIP Wednesday More Wild Hats
I think it is hard to deny the appeal of hats. Whether you knit or crochet, hats work up quick in just about every weight of yarn! In my years of fiber adventures, I have made classic hats, wild hats, baby hats, ugly hats, wee hats, themed hats, and simple hats. This week's WIP Wednesday… Continue reading WIP Wednesday More Wild Hats
Rhinebeck Recovery
Just like that another Rhinebeck is done! On Saturday, my plan was to socialize more than shop. I found my knitting group fairly quickly - obviously, it was hard to miss this group. We should have taken orders because not only were we frequently stopped for photos but people wanted to if we bought our… Continue reading Rhinebeck Recovery
FO Friday: 2014 Rhinebeck Hat
It's that time of year again - Rhinebeck weekend! This is a great festival and I look forward to it every year. I made a sweater during Camp Loopy that I thought I would wear to Rhinebeck, though the weather is looking warmer and my 2014 Rhinebeck Hat would clash with it. How crazy do… Continue reading FO Friday: 2014 Rhinebeck Hat
Spinzilla Survivor and Success
I'm a Spinzilla Survivor! Last week I spun and spun away on my drop spindle, turning most of a lovely braid of Corriedale fiber into yarn! I began the week with a bucket full of fiber that looked like neon spaghetti. I didn't realize how bright this fiber truly was until I took it outside… Continue reading Spinzilla Survivor and Success
FO Friday Summit Shawl
I am so proud of my FO Friday project this week. The Summit Shawl is finished! Ends are woven in, blocking magic happened, and it has been mailed back to Good Karma Farm! I love the finished product. To sum-up: I used just under two skeins of Good Karma Farm Sportweight in the Shark Juice colorway.… Continue reading FO Friday Summit Shawl
WIP Wednesday
This week I have been sticking with my spinning for Spinzilla & Team Louet. Looking at what other team members have already accomplished is a bit intimidating, but I am trying to keep the view that I'm still new at this and the whole point is to have fun. I can see an improvement in… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
