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: 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
Vigorous Violets
I finished April's Personal Sock Club this week. The yarn, a purple / green self-striper from the now nonexistent Rainy Days & Wooly Dogs, is called "Sailor Pluto" but, I took to calling these my Vigorous Violets. The name is actually a nail polish I picked up when my niece, Violet, got to go home… Continue reading Vigorous Violets
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
FO Friday – a peek
Oh the cuteness, I can barely stand it! Last night at SnB I practiced my crochet skills on this wee little baby toy. It's adorable, and was quick and easy to make, but I'm not 100% happy with it - maybe only 98%! I will be adjusting a few things when I make it again… Continue reading FO Friday – a peek
FO Friday – Mitts & a Monster
I am in love with these mitts! This was my first Malabrigo March project, the Nathair Mitts, in Malabrigo Rios, the Solis colorway. The cable was fun to work and though it did require my attention, I was able to work on these while watching TV and at knitting night without any mistakes! The yarn… Continue reading FO Friday – Mitts & a Monster
A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
It's been a good week! This cowl was my first crochet test project! Crystal wore hers a few weeks back to our knitting group and I was absolutely taken with it. I was rather forward in telling her that I was very interested in the pattern - I am feeling a lot more comfortable with… Continue reading A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
FO Friday
Last weekend I finished knitting my Fumior arm-warmers and I seamed them up while waiting on my computer to resolve some issues. I love this yarn, Manos Maxima; the colorway Prince, and the pattern. For my actual FO there is a little love lost. I blocked them to make the seaming easier and it grew… Continue reading FO Friday
FO Friday – A Hat
I feel like a terrible knitter sometimes. All of a sudden, winter weather is coming on strong and my kids still did not have proper winter hats! I did make the Lorax a hat back in November with sparkly purple yarn she chose (Kollage Glisten), but I was impatient in getting to the crown decreases.… Continue reading FO Friday – A Hat
