I've started a new project, a true Ravellenics project to boot, as it needs to be done by the end of February! This cake is a new yarn from Good Karma Farm (3ply, sport-weight) that will be knit into a Beach Street Park sweater. I had some trouble getting the color right in the photo… Continue reading In Progress

First WIP
Over the weekend, my daughter asked if I would show her how to knit. We have been reading Annie and the Swiss Cheese scarf for months now, and she received a Hello Kitty Scarf Kit for Christmas. Ok, why not? So we sat down and I cast on for her. The first row I knit… Continue reading First WIP
Triangle Cowl for a Tiny Creature
Dachshunds need sweaters. Seriously, this little dog, with his short coat, is like a heat-seeking missile. He'll sleep in front of the heat vent in the kitchen that blows warm air, loves a good nap in a sun puddle, and especially loves a seat on your lap under a big blanket. But, when I put… Continue reading Triangle Cowl for a Tiny Creature
Blurry blobby bits
This week has been full and on the go. This photo (from my Instagram) sums it up well enough. I've had one kid (on the left) be a bit whiny, but that seems to be improving. He is the epitome of being 2. The other kid (you can see part of her leg on the… Continue reading Blurry blobby bits
Gaming
Ravellenics - Are you participating? I thought for a moment that I would challenge myself by knitting a sweater. I have the pattern and yarn to do Elfe or Rocky Coast Cardigan. But then I returned to my senses. I just started working on a sample knit for Plymouth Yarn Co and it's a blanket,… Continue reading Gaming
New Socks
This week brought us around 6 inches of snow. I like snow - especially the fluffy kind that arrived this week. Plus, if we're going to have to deal with freakishly cold temperatures (Polar Vortex, Polar Plunge, whathaveyou) we might as well have some snow on the ground to make it look like winter too.… Continue reading New Socks
Try and Try Again
I'm pretty pleased with my progress on the projects this week, even if one in the picture was a do-over. The brown fuzzy blob is the Cody Cardi (two balls in, I've made it to the 2nd buttonhole) and it continues to be fuzzy. And it sheds. I am a dog lover but my dog… Continue reading Try and Try Again
FO Friday
Hello Friday! I am very excited to share this project this week. It's an amineko / crochet cat friend - around here we affectionately refer to them as "HeartCats". This is a custom project, specially requested for a new baby who is also facing some heart issues. As before, I used Plymouth Sockotta held doubled.… Continue reading FO Friday
Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
This week I have been working on the Cody Cardigan, a specially requested HeartCat, a pair of socks, and the Once Upon a Time Sampler. I like having a variety of projects as it stretches my hand muscles in different ways and keeps my attention. I am expecting to get moving on a few other… Continue reading Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
Warming Up
My FOs that I have to share are part of the Marathon of Warmth. I've made two hats and a cowl (386 yards down!) and soon they will be sent out to HatLoveKnits. I really enjoyed working with both of these patterns and the yarns. The teal hat is a Wurm in SimpliWorsted. This one… Continue reading Warming Up
