Over the weekend I finished and blocked the Cozy Countess Brioche Cape as part of the Cape KAL with Kraemer Yarns. I've only done one other brioche project, a Chromatic Cowl. I've impressed myself so much with this cape, that I want to brioche all the things and have added plenty to my queue to… Continue reading Call me Countess!

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
End of the Quarter
Yet again my blog was set aside. Let's just call it summer slide and move on. The Q3 KAL for the EatSleepKnit Yarnathon required using yarn that was exclusively dyed for the shop. Violet Waffles Hat The Violet Waffles hat pattern is one I have heard mentioned so many times on different podcasts and blogs.… Continue reading End of the Quarter
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
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 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
More stripey socks
I finished these socks March 29! I knit this pair on US1s, and I really like the resulting fabric. These socks have been worn a few times already. This is my third pair of socks, third pair knit two-at-a-time, third pair self-striping, second pair toe-up. I think I'm sensing a pattern. I love a good… Continue reading More stripey socks
FO Friday Sockhead Hat
It feels like a long time since I have finished anything. Just in time for the return of the colder weather, I finished the knitting on a Sockhead Hat. I loved working with this yarn, Peppino, from The Yarns of Rhichard Devrieze. This project (knit with a variegated yarn) also fits the bill for the… Continue reading FO Friday Sockhead Hat
Finished and almost satisfied
Hooray for getting things finished! I'm now in a weird lull - I have many WIPs that are not calling to me, and other projects I want to start but that requires the effort of gathering all the supplies. Hopefully sharing the latest finished items will get that mojo moving in the right direction! First… Continue reading Finished and almost satisfied
