This year I am participating in Spinzilla - a week long spinning event. I'm putting my knitting and crochet projects on hold for the week while I spin along as a member of Team Louet! During Tour de Fleece this summer, I really got the hang of using my drop spindle. These are the yarns… Continue reading Spinzilla Stage Fright
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
Stitch Fix #4
Totally a non-knitting post today. Also, there are affiliate links if you're interested in trying Stitch Fix out. I recently received a Stitch Fix in the mail last week and wanted to share it here. If you haven't tried Stitch Fix it is a pretty cool system in my opinion. You fill out a style… Continue reading Stitch Fix #4
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
Get Your Game Face On
I posted this picture of Jackson mid-yarn on Monday to Instagram. Seemed like a good way to start the week, with your game face on and all that. Now that we are here on Wednesday night, I'm feeling a bit more like this Jacob sheep I spotted at a fair over the weekend - it's… Continue reading Get Your Game Face On
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
Food for Thought
This week the knitting has been on these two projects - a hat for me and a sample shawl. There's not much else to say about them, they are in the "Just Keep Knitting. Just Keep Knitting" phase. Looks a bit like Peas and Carrots, right? Food on the brain all the time around here.… Continue reading Food for Thought
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
Not a Pumpkin Head
I am pretty excited to feel the ever so slight chill in the air in the mornings. I have a drawer full of handknit socks ready to go and several hats that I can't wait to put back in to service. It does seem a bit early to me though that everywhere you turn there… Continue reading Not a Pumpkin Head
Happy Friday, Happy Throw
Hello Friday! If you follow me on Instagram (@nutmegknitter) you can probably guess what my FO Friday post will be about. Nate's Blanket is 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
