Before I get in too deep with looking back on what I did this year and what I want to do next year, I am realizing there are a few projects that were unintentionally overlooked. One of those is the Color Infusion Cowl. Project details & modifications The original Color Infusion Cowl by Meredith Shepherd… Continue reading Color Infusion Cowl

Winter Prep
What is it about warm summer days that have me dreaming about fall knits? In the last week, I completed a bulky yarn cowl and cast on a sweater! I have 3 skeins of Lorna's Laces Cloudgate still hanging out under my desk, leftover from a blanket I knit for my mom last year. Getting… Continue reading Winter Prep
Deja Vu
Hey, surprise! This post is not about socks! I'll save that for the next post. I happened to catch an announcement post from the Eat.Sleep.Knit team that they were going to host a Song of the Sea Flash-knit-along. I have the yarn in my stash and the pattern in my library so I'm diving in.… Continue reading Deja Vu
The 2nd Red Cowl and it’s Mine!
Last week I posted about the first red cowl for my son. I have another red cowl finished and it's for me! Yarn Clubs Yarn clubs can be a tricky thing.

The first red cowl
My last post was about the pink and red, and February continues to be a month full of red yarn! My son doesn't like to zip up his coat all the way, so I made him a neck warmer to keep the winter chill off his neck. A quick dive into the yarn stash brought… Continue reading The first red cowl

Yarn: L is for the Lemonade Shop yarn! This was also a new-to-me yarn that I found… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge L is for
Neckwarmers for All
Years ago I made a fantastic scarf for my husband. Chunky baby alpaca yarn, long enough to wrap around your neck and be snug. I made it so long ago that it isn't even in my Ravelry projects! Dan's scarf has been showing signs of wear, so I decided it was time to make a… Continue reading Neckwarmers for All
So Close – reading and project progress
Sadly, I have not touched my current book in weeks, maybe even months. I did take a few moments this morning to read a few pages of The Rent Collector to be fair! A good friend gave me Ann Hood's Knitting Yarns last week and I am really looking forward to starting that.... eventually! The… Continue reading So Close – reading and project progress
Loopy Academy Cowl Assignment Done
My second assignment for Loopy Academy is done! The project requirements were to make a cowl in a multi-colored (defined as 2 or more distinct colors in the same skein) or self-striping Fingering weight colorway. I decided on the Irish Mesh Cowl (a suggested pattern) in the Plied Light colorway of Peppino, part of the Yarns… Continue reading Loopy Academy Cowl Assignment Done
FO Friday Loopy Academy Assignment Done and a Wolf
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
