For the first Camp Loopy project, we had to incorporate something we'd like to "Spy" on vacation / safari. I already had the pattern in mind, Coast Starlight Shawl by verybusymonkey. When I was browsing the yarn the Dirty Panther colorway of madelinetosh tosh merino light jumped out at me. Sure, I'm not at all likely… Continue reading Dirty Panther on the Coast

FO Friday Sam’s Puppy and Blanket
This week, the two projects I am sharing have been off the needles for a while. They were a baby gift and I didn't feel it was right to share until the little guy arrived! My cousin had her baby boy last week and these were made for him. I made the Baby Squared Baby… Continue reading FO Friday Sam’s Puppy and Blanket
FO Friday No Red Pen Needed
I'm pretty pleased that today's project marks my completion of the Freshman Year of Loopy Academy! Both semesters are under my belt, and I really am looking forward to Camp Loopy starting on Monday! These are the BonBons fingerless mitts pattern by Susanna IC, and I used Spud & Chloe Fine in the Popcorn colorway.… Continue reading FO Friday No Red Pen Needed
Finished is What the Fox Says
This fox says Finished! This is the Failynn Fox Cowl from the Velvet Acorn, requested by a cousin in my family. This is the adult size in Lion Brand Thick & Quick Yarn. The Pumpkin Spice, Black and White colorways work quite well as fox colors though at first I was concerned it would be… Continue reading Finished is What the Fox Says
Frozen Ocean Air Scarf
Each time I crochet something I am amazed at how fast the project seems to go from "ball of yarn" to "finished"! On Wednesday I posted that I was going to start a new crochet project, on Wednesday night it was finished. When we woke up on Thursday morning, the snow had already started. By… Continue reading Frozen Ocean Air Scarf
Baby Presents

This is the third time I have knit the Baby Squared Blanket pattern, and it won't be the last. I absolutely love how the Encore Colorspun works up in… Continue reading Baby Presents
Snow Tired
You've probably seen and heard the jokes online about the cold and snow here in New England. They are all true. It's cold, we're still surrounded by snow and ice and it just keeps coming without much of a break in between. During the first blizzard, way back in January, I started working on a… Continue reading Snow Tired
Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
Another week, another hat! I actually finished this hat last week and wove in the ends over the weekend. This week the weather has been snowy and cold, giving me ample opportunity to work this hat into the handknit rotation (along with a good number of other handknits as documented on Instagram!). I used the… Continue reading Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
Foxy Friday
Thanks to all who commiserated with me on my knitting errors I posted about on Wednesday. The hat is back on track, the sample knit grows, and that's all there is. Last night I decided to work up a little fox mascot so I would have something to post today, for Freshly Finished Friday! You… Continue reading Foxy Friday
FO Friday Crochet Tiger Hat
In my last post, I talked about how PatPatsHats put out the call for tiger-themed hats. You can read more about Madeline's story on the PatPatsHats blog. I wanted to help make a few hats but the yarn had to be just right. The right shade of tiger-orange and the right materials (acrylic), neither of… Continue reading FO Friday Crochet Tiger Hat
