Over the years I have knit a lot of different items. I believe there is something to learn from each project you work on, by choice of pattern, techniques and materials. Until now, the most unusual item I knit was probably a felted kidney for my uncle. Today, I'm sharing a recent finished object, a… Continue reading FO Friday Cody Cardi A Dog Hair Sweater

FO Friday Orange Crush Sample Knit
I am excited to share this FO Friday project! A few weeks back I finished a Sproutlette Dress in Orange Crush for MarigoldJen. I hear it will be on display at MDSW this weekend so it might be seen "in the wild"! Isn't it adorable? I truly loved working on this sample knit. Jenny asked… Continue reading FO Friday Orange Crush Sample Knit
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
Frozen Ocean Air Scarf
Each time I crochet something I am amazed at how fast the project seems to go from "ball of yarn" to "finished"! On Wednesday I posted that I was going to start a new crochet project, on Wednesday night it was finished. When we woke up on Thursday morning, the snow had already started. By… Continue reading Frozen Ocean Air Scarf
Baby Presents
I'm excited to share two recently finished items - an elephant and a baby blanket for my cousin who is expecting a baby later this month. This is the third time I have knit the Baby Squared Blanket pattern, and it won't be the last. I absolutely love how the Encore Colorspun works up in… Continue reading Baby Presents

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
Foxy Friday
Thanks to all who commiserated with me on my knitting errors I posted about on Wednesday. The hat is back on track, the sample knit grows, and that's all there is. Last night I decided to work up a little fox mascot so I would have something to post today, for Freshly Finished Friday! You… Continue reading Foxy Friday
Loopy Academy 1st Semester Finished
In a similar fashion to when semester exams ended, I am breathing a sigh of relief. I have successfully finished my first semester of Freshman Year at Loopy Academy! Let's review: Freshman Year, First Semester Assignments (each project needs to use at least 175 yards): Cowl in a multi-colored (defined as 2 or more distinct… Continue reading Loopy Academy 1st Semester Finished
