I was so excited to finish my Solitude Dots Hat last Friday night. I immediately put it on and wore it all weekend. The kit I purchased at Rhinebeck did indeed provide plenty of yarn allowing for a pompom with the leftovers if you wanted. I'm still considering it, but I don't feel like this… Continue reading FO Friday Solitude Dots Hat and More Turkey

Fo Friday Baby Alpaca Cowl
Frequently in my blog I talk about sample knitting, something I do enjoy. When I take on a sample knitting project, the yarn and project usually are a surprise to me and I appreciate the opportunity to try out a design, yarn, or even colorway that I would not normally pick up on my own.… Continue reading Fo Friday Baby Alpaca Cowl
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
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
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
FO Friday Cuteness
Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! It is a rather dreary day here, so that is annoying and giving us a touch of cabin fever. We are having a mostly quiet 4th even with the rain. The biggest plan is to tucker out the kids so that my son will sleep ok… Continue reading FO Friday Cuteness
Sock Bust and a Thneed
For FO Friday I have two things to share. I finished the SCREAMING NEON tube socks for kids. Unfortunately, they are a bust. They don't fit my 6 year old's feet, too snug. Oh well. It's my fault, I didn't bother to swatch, I just cast on and knit away. We have friends visiting us… Continue reading Sock Bust and a Thneed
FO Friday and Mojo Search
My FO this week is another amineko, this one is a birthday gift for my aunt/godmother. While I love working with a theme, I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by that theme. When I was younger, I loved poison dart frogs. I still do actually, they are so interesting! Well, people ran… Continue reading FO Friday and Mojo Search
Triangle Cowl for a Tiny Creature
Dachshunds need sweaters. Seriously, this little dog, with his short coat, is like a heat-seeking missile. He'll sleep in front of the heat vent in the kitchen that blows warm air, loves a good nap in a sun puddle, and especially loves a seat on your lap under a big blanket. But, when I put… Continue reading Triangle Cowl for a Tiny Creature
New Socks
This week brought us around 6 inches of snow. I like snow - especially the fluffy kind that arrived this week. Plus, if we're going to have to deal with freakishly cold temperatures (Polar Vortex, Polar Plunge, whathaveyou) we might as well have some snow on the ground to make it look like winter too.… Continue reading New Socks
