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
Christmas Stocking
It's not my final finished object of the year, but I am super excited to share the Christmas stocking I finished yesterday. The stockings we pull out each year are a mishmash of our stockings from when we were kids and a few pairs that we were given as wedding gifts. They are all lovely,… Continue reading Christmas Stocking
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
FO Friday Snow Thank You Sweater
I have a finished object to share and it's not socks, surprise! I have a new sweater! Just in time for the colder weather set to arrive next week, I present the Snow Thank You sweater. I love everything about this sweater. The construction was new to me (sort-of top down with an afterthought neck!) and… Continue reading FO Friday Snow Thank You Sweater

Instead of the Winter Cable Hat, I decided to follow the CopyCat C.C. Beanie after I saw a display… Continue reading Copy of a Copy

Violet Waffles Hat The Violet Waffles hat pattern is one I have heard mentioned so many times on different podcasts and blogs.… Continue reading End of the Quarter
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
Clear the Desk Update Shortie Socks
Two projects completed! I rediscovered a pair of socks started last year but never finished for a Yarnathon KAL. One pattern repeat was complete, so I continued on, plain vanilla style, and made them shortie style. There's still a good amount leftover, so I'm thinking that will be another shortie set. My other idea is… Continue reading Clear the Desk Update Shortie Socks

Selfish Sock Knitting The Knit Girllls podcast is having a year-long self-striping yarn knit along. Each month there are several dyers from which to choose. The first few months I had yarns in my stash! I was browsing for the June option and decide to purchase a skein of Poste sock yarn. It's a new… Continue reading Significant Digits
