I've missed posting in this blog, so I'm trying to get back to the routine of it this year. Why not start with a few FOs? Once again I'm participating in EatSleepKnit's Yarnathon and I'm a member of Team Merino Mice. Did you know a group of mice is called a mischief? Quarterly Craft Along:… Continue reading Yarnathon 2022: Team Merino Mice

Knitting the Galaxy WIP Wednesday

February 10, 2021February 10, 2021 BeccaLeave a comment

My family is a Star Wars family. Video games, Lego sets, t-shirts, and movies (Episodes 4-7+Rogue One are the best) are referenced on a daily basis. The new Star Wars: Knitting the Galaxy book exceeded my expectations for a pattern book. Everyone spotted a pattern they wanted and I did not have the right yarn,… Continue reading Knitting the Galaxy WIP Wednesday

It's been another long stretch, eh? I think maybe now is as good as any to give blogging another go. At the very least, it's a good record of my projects. Work in progress Wednesday I have two in-progress projects to share and both will eventually earn yardage for me and my team in the… Continue reading Jumping Right Back In: WIP Wednesday January 27.

Nice to Gnome You FO

August 21, 2020August 21, 2020 BeccaLeave a comment

Finished object Friday! I finished up the "Nice to Gnome You" mystery knit along this week. I think my gnome is more of a beachy-one, hiding in the dunes, and checking out the shells. I struggle with putting colors together, so I took the easy route and used a mini-skein bundle. I won this set… Continue reading Nice to Gnome You FO

Works in Progress August 19

August 19, 2020August 19, 2020 BeccaLeave a comment

I'm still knitting away on my works in progress and trying to stay focused on them. I can't seem to shake the call of a KAL though, so choosing a new cast-on has distracted me. Isn't this a sort of moody collection? I'm impatiently waiting for the two swatches to dry completely. This year I… Continue reading Works in Progress August 19

Strawberry Season Pullover

July 24, 2020 Becca1 Comment

Earlier in June (or maybe it was May? Time is so elastic.) I was totally taken by a post I saw on Instagram from Tanis Gray, putting out the call for test knitters. I loved the sweater at first sight, and couldn't stop thinking about it, so I volunteered. I really loved the red and… Continue reading Strawberry Season Pullover

Peeking out from the blanket fort - it's too warm to stay in there! Summer is here and I've made a few projects that I look forward to wearing when Winter returns, but that's a post for another time.
