There are a few more days to go in Q1, but since I've submitted my projects to EatSleepKnit for the first quarter knit-along, today works to share my finished objects! Mosaic colorwork, also known as slip stitch colorwork, is a magical technique where you only work with one color at a time using slipped stitches… Continue reading Mosaic Knit FOs

FO’clock
Tempting as it is, I'm not going to fill this post with all kinds of clock and time puns. Let's get straight to it: my Yoke O'Clock is complete! Even starting over, this was a quick project. It feels like more time was spent getting the clock hands in place. I picked up the record… Continue reading FO’clock
Warm Waffle Mitts
In what may be a personal record, I received yarn for Valentine's Day and as of last night I have a new pair of fingerless mitts for me! Wasn't that sweet? Three minis of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino DK in the Forever Yours colorway. It's an amazing combination of hot pink, neon blue, purples, and charcoal.… Continue reading Warm Waffle Mitts
FO Friday The Elisabeth Triangle Scarf
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
Broad Street Mittens
I'm very pleased that my latest project is off the needles and on the hands of the recipient! Dan made a special request for convertible mitts. While I didn't finish them in time for Christmas, they were ready this week for the blast of cold and the storm we are likely to get this weekend.… Continue reading Broad Street Mittens
Finished is What the Fox Says
This fox says Finished! This is the Failynn Fox Cowl from the Velvet Acorn, requested by a cousin in my family. This is the adult size in Lion Brand Thick & Quick Yarn. The Pumpkin Spice, Black and White colorways work quite well as fox colors though at first I was concerned it would be… Continue reading Finished is What the Fox Says
Snow Tired
You've probably seen and heard the jokes online about the cold and snow here in New England. They are all true. It's cold, we're still surrounded by snow and ice and it just keeps coming without much of a break in between. During the first blizzard, way back in January, I started working on a… Continue reading Snow Tired
Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
Another week, another hat! I actually finished this hat last week and wove in the ends over the weekend. This week the weather has been snowy and cold, giving me ample opportunity to work this hat into the handknit rotation (along with a good number of other handknits as documented on Instagram!). I used the… Continue reading Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
A New Hat
I love hats. One of my first successful knitting projects was an Ann Norling Fruit Hat for a baby. I am pretty sure I still have the pattern somewhere. I have knit hats for charity, for myself, for my family. I have to say that taking pictures of hats is one of my least favorite… Continue reading A New Hat
Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
Ready to send off to Chicago for the Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign! I made 12 red hats, also meeting the Sunset Family Living NICU Challenge. Nice way to use up some of the red acrylic and cotton in my stash, and I continued to work on my crochet skills. I ended up with… Continue reading Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
