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

WIP Wednesday
I have had a lengthy love affair with Malabrigo. I think it was one of the first "nice" yarns I bought myself in my early knitting days. Over the years I have stashed it, admired it, coveted it, and yes, knit with it. Lately though I have just let it simmer in my stash. I… Continue reading WIP Wednesday

I was gifted a rare treat of time to myself - the Lorax stayed behind for quality time with Dad - and I got to relax, eat,… Continue reading Trust me, it’s a sock.
I love Mail.
I have had several good mail days in a row - and that's probably it for a while. I feel like the delivery truck idles at the mailbox just long enough to make me believe that they must be shoving a fantastic package into the mailbox (regardless of whether or not I am expecting anything).… Continue reading I love Mail.
Scowls, Cowls, and Sniffs
Like most people, my little nutshell is experiencing a bit of frenzy as the Christmas season is in full swing. The knitting is progressing nicely for the most part - I'm taking a few days off from a current sample / test knit because a deadline was lifted (thank goodness) and other projects took priority… Continue reading Scowls, Cowls, and Sniffs
