Tempting as it is, I'm not going to fill this post with all kinds of clock and time puns. Let's get straight to it: my Yoke O'Clock is complete! Even starting over, this was a quick project. It feels like more time was spent getting the clock hands in place. I picked up the record… Continue reading FO’clock

Thinking of Australia
I have one little FO to share this week, a Tiny Koala, from the Mochimochi Land "Tiny Mochis Collection 6". She's cute and weighs only 2.22 grams! The news of the fires in Australia makes my heart heavy. Buying a pattern (or two or three) is a small thing, but it still adds to the… Continue reading Thinking of Australia
Cutie Cactus
What do you do with one skein of a bulky yarn in a funky green color? Make a toy! I purchased a grab bag of Dale Garn yarns a little while ago from woolybaabaa.com. Right away the Hubro caught my eye. I have a fondness for bulky yarns, but I struggled for a bit in… Continue reading Cutie Cactus
Cowl Catch-Up
I have two new finished objects to share! Like many knitters, I can appreciate a good scarf, but I really adore cowls. Long or short, they seem to sit just right and I feel like you can wear them more (indoors as well as out). I finally finished my "Infinite Blurple Cowl" that I started… Continue reading Cowl Catch-Up
FOs from a while ago
How about another round of blog-catch-up? I have a few finished items that I can share in a "Finished Object Friday" post! These socks fill a requirement for the Sophmore semester of Loopy Academy - knitting socks in a new-to-you way. I have knit socks toe-up & top-down, on double pointed needles, magic loop… Continue reading FOs from a while ago
FO Friday Selbu Modern
Last week, it was new socks, this week, I've got a new hat. Well, my daughter does. I knit the Selbu Modern for Sophmore Semester #2 of Loopy Academy. This meets the project requirements of using a variegated colorway and a solid colorway. I think it looks really nice, though my lesson learned from this… Continue reading FO Friday Selbu Modern
Cream Socks
I have a new pair of socks! They were finished some time in February and have been sitting in a pile, waiting to be shared on the blog. I used Quince & Co yarn that I purchased at Nido, in Burlington, VT. This yarn was wonderful with which to work. It's so soft and cozy.… Continue reading Cream Socks
FO Friday Cabled Dog Sweater
Plenty of people might laugh off putting your dog in a sweater or a jacket. Most people don't have a problem with a bandanna so what's wrong with a sweater? Jackson is a mini-dachshund, six inches off the ground with a short natural coat, and he always seeks out a little extra heat. He loves a… Continue reading FO Friday Cabled Dog Sweater
FO Friday Finally Rainbows
Who can resist a rainbow? Not me. Rainbow suspenders a la Mork, Rainbow Bright, Cheer Bear. That is the stuff of my childhood! After the success of Nate's Happy Throw last year, I thought it was time to make Lorelai a new blanket. She still has (and uses) the Big Bad Baby blanket I made… Continue reading FO Friday Finally Rainbows
Major Teal Spring Garden Tee
Camp Loopy, Project #2 is done! This month, the task was to knit something that you spied in "the wild". I have seen the Spring Garden Tee pop up on many Ravelry queues and watched a KAL from afar. Now I have my own. I'm mostly happy with it - these photos are all pre-any-washing… Continue reading Major Teal Spring Garden Tee
