I love the idea of Loopy Academy! Today I can share my first project of the Freshman year first semester, the Dembow Hat for Dan. I used Malabrigo Arroyo in Chircas and this hat is so fabulous. I've made hats for Dan before and the last one, is just a bit too short. I worked… Continue reading FO Friday Loopy Academy Assignment Done and a Wolf

FO Friday Summit Shawl
I am so proud of my FO Friday project this week. The Summit Shawl is finished! Ends are woven in, blocking magic happened, and it has been mailed back to Good Karma Farm! I love the finished product. To sum-up: I used just under two skeins of Good Karma Farm Sportweight in the Shark Juice colorway.… Continue reading FO Friday Summit Shawl
Wonderfully Super Socks
I just finished my Wonderfully Super Socks! The yarn was picked as part of my Personal Sock Club with the Stitch Addiction podcast - it was picked for May, but not cast on until August, and finally finished in October. Wonderfully Super is the colorway of this yarntini yarn and I would love to get… Continue reading Wonderfully Super Socks
FO Friday Sunflower Tam
This week for FO Friday, I have my entry for the EatSleepKnit Yarnathon Q3 challenge. The challenge was to knit a pattern that you added to your queue or your favorites during your first year as an active Raveler. For me, that was 2007! I originally queued the Sunflower Tam on June 21, 2007. I… Continue reading FO Friday Sunflower Tam
Calm Cowl Finished
One FO this week, and it is already off and into the wild. Well, maybe not the wild, but there is a good chance you can see this cowl at the Common Ground Fair in Maine. This was a sample for Good Karma Farm and they are vending there this weekend. They now have a… Continue reading Calm Cowl Finished
Blacklock Shawl Finished
The weather this week did not cooperate with my blogging intentions. I finished a small shawlette, the Blacklock Shawl pattern in Manos del Uruguay Franca on Thursday night. The humidity was up there so I decided to wait on blocking until Friday. Things dried out on Friday, but not fast enough for me. I decided… Continue reading Blacklock Shawl Finished

Completing this project also means that I completed all the challenges for Camp Loopy 2014! Did you read about Loopy Academy? I've already signed up and will probably talk more… Continue reading Happy Friday, Happy Throw
With a Side of Dinosaur, Always
This week I was shown an etsy listing of a mug cozy and asked if I could make something like that. Well sure! After a bit of back and forth to help narrow down the possibilities and a bit of stash diving I came up with this: Leftover Tosh Chunky (not even 40 yards), a… Continue reading With a Side of Dinosaur, Always
FO Fiber Friday
I made yarn! Maybe it's a bit unusual to post about yarn as a FO? The way I see it, I did finish spinning the fiber, I finished soaking it, thwacking it, and let it dry. So it is ready to knit into something. It is still a bit corkscrewy on itself, so I'm not… Continue reading FO Fiber Friday
Just Call Me Mother of Dinosaurs
For my FO Friday, I'm pleased to share my third hand-made dinosaur! Joining Dino and Dinosaur Rex we have Spikey! Spikey the Stegosaurus, a Fresh Stitches design, is a really fun pattern to work up. As I've written before the pattern is straightforward and not complicated. Stacey's patterns are a great way to get started… Continue reading Just Call Me Mother of Dinosaurs
