Malabrigo, again.
It is MalabrigoMarch, according to Ravelry! I decided to give the "Amanda Hat" a try using the Emerald yarn I had left over from my Tudora. I posted to the Tudora rav boards to see if it could be done and I had a positive reply that yes it could. So I went at it… Continue reading Malabrigo, again.

Plus this was a knitting event, so even that much better! I arrived… Continue reading Knitting Celebrity – Yarn Harlot
Socks! (it’s still summer right?)
Yay! I finished the "Go with the flow" socks 🙂 I used Reynolds Sea Wool yarn, 2 skeins, and really enjoyed this pattern. It was pretty easy to memorize / see as it happened (although if I knit it at night I tended to get sleepy while working on it), and overall fairly quick. They… Continue reading Socks!
