There are a few more days to go in Q1, but since I've submitted my projects to EatSleepKnit for the first quarter knit-along, today works to share my finished objects! Mosaic colorwork, also known as slip stitch colorwork, is a magical technique where you only work with one color at a time using slipped stitches… Continue reading Mosaic Knit FOs

Mitten Maker
When you think of knitting, do you think of "warm woolen mittens" like in the Favorite Things song? Or maybe the three little kittens who lost their mittens? I've never thought of myself as a mitten knitter, but I may have to readjust that mindset. I knit a pair of Flora Mittens as a knitalong… Continue reading Mitten Maker
Copy of a Copy
It's hat weather! Heading outside this morning for the school bus I welcomed the opportunity to grab a new hat. The yarns and pom are from the Holiday Hat Kit by Three Irish Girls at Eat.Sleep.Knit. Instead of the Winter Cable Hat, I decided to follow the CopyCat C.C. Beanie after I saw a display… Continue reading Copy of a Copy

Pop! Candy Dots Flash Knit Along
Over the Labor Day weekend, my little family took a road trip to Vermont. I am ever the optimist and promptly over packed my knitting projects: three shawls in progress, a sweater for my daughter in progress, a scarf in progress, a fingerless mitten that needs a mate, and a cowl project. I only worked… Continue reading Pop! Candy Dots Flash Knit Along
The last of 2016 and Looking ahead
Goodbye, 2016. Hello, 2017! I love the idea of starting new. New school year, new calendar year, new project, new office supplies, new planners, it doesn't really matter. Nothing (or very little) has gone wrong and the hope and optimism are exciting. Before I get to 2017, I have to wrap up a few loose… Continue reading The last of 2016 and Looking ahead
Back At It
When life gets busy, you tend to let some things go. For me, this blog took a backseat while other items needed action. All is well, it's just been a really busy six weeks or so. Do I have anything to show for this time of distraction? Yes! I knit these Laule'a socks in Malabrigo Rios,… Continue reading Back At It
FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
Here's to not being that knitter this year who's children do not have the proper accessories for the winter season. Instead I can be that knitter that makes the kid pose in a wool hat outside in the summer. By the time winter rolls around my son will hopefully still like this hat. I really liked this… Continue reading FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
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
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
