Straight off the hook to around my neck, the Elisabeth Triangle Scarf is marked "Finished". I am slowly working on building my crochet skills so I can do more than amigurumi and dishcloths. This pattern uses the corner to corner (C2C) technique. I've admired this method in a lot of graphghan-style blankets. I mean, c'mon: Harry… Continue reading FO Friday The Elisabeth Triangle Scarf

Color Infusion Cowl
Before I get in too deep with looking back on what I did this year and what I want to do next year, I am realizing there are a few projects that were unintentionally overlooked. One of those is the Color Infusion Cowl. Project details & modifications The original Color Infusion Cowl by Meredith Shepherd… Continue reading Color Infusion Cowl
Winter Prep
What is it about warm summer days that have me dreaming about fall knits? In the last week, I completed a bulky yarn cowl and cast on a sweater! I have 3 skeins of Lorna's Laces Cloudgate still hanging out under my desk, leftover from a blanket I knit for my mom last year. Getting… Continue reading Winter Prep
Winter Blues
After three nor'easters in two weeks (and rumors of another storm to keep an eye on next week) my love of winter is flailing. The middle storm of the three was the worst for me. Power was knocked out for several days and an uprooted tree sat on the wires for a few days longer.… Continue reading Winter Blues
Pop! Candy Dots Flash Knit Along
Over the Labor Day weekend, my little family took a road trip to Vermont. I am ever the optimist and promptly over packed my knitting projects: three shawls in progress, a sweater for my daughter in progress, a scarf in progress, a fingerless mitten that needs a mate, and a cowl project. I only worked… Continue reading Pop! Candy Dots Flash Knit Along

I wonder what happened, with which knitter, that made the court specifically make note of this in the pamphlet. And do I know this knitter? In a moment like this, I am really… Continue reading Do a Good Turn
The first red cowl
My last post was about the pink and red, and February continues to be a month full of red yarn! My son doesn't like to zip up his coat all the way, so I made him a neck warmer to keep the winter chill off his neck. A quick dive into the yarn stash brought… Continue reading The first red cowl
Neckwarmers for All
Years ago I made a fantastic scarf for my husband. Chunky baby alpaca yarn, long enough to wrap around your neck and be snug. I made it so long ago that it isn't even in my Ravelry projects! Dan's scarf has been showing signs of wear, so I decided it was time to make a… Continue reading Neckwarmers for All
Fo Friday Baby Alpaca Cowl
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

I am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that we just had the last weekend of… Continue reading Braids and Cakes and Stripes
