My FO Photography is an ongoing Work-In-Progress I like to think that I am an unofficially qualified knitter. And blogger. And photographer. I've been at this for 8+ years, on and off, but mostly on. I've knit a wide range of projects, yarns, and fibers. I knit for myself and others. I've taken classes! And this?… Continue reading How to take Great FO photos! (it’s a work in progress)

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
Make Me a Mermaid
Over the last few weeks, several friends shared pictures of mermaid blankets with me. They are adorable, no doubt. I love all things ocean related, including mermaids, so why not give it a go? For my project, I used the Bulky & Quick Mermaid Blanket pattern from MJ's Off the Hook Designs. A bit of… Continue reading Make Me a Mermaid
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
A New Color Story Emerges
I have several projects that suitable to share this week. Enough work has been done on each that they are out of the blob phase. I was surprised when I pulled these projects together to see that they all sort of go together color-wise, and not one of the colors is blue! The stripey rectangle at… Continue reading A New Color Story Emerges
Dirty Panther on the Coast
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
Happy Halloween!
We're ready for Halloween tonight! The weather is predicted to be on the chilly side, perfect for all the Elsa's out there, including my own. My daughter is still big into all things princess. Last year she was Wonder Woman (technically a princess!) and I thought maybe this year we could something different. Elsa, in… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
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
In Progress
I've started a new project, a true Ravellenics project to boot, as it needs to be done by the end of February! This cake is a new yarn from Good Karma Farm (3ply, sport-weight) that will be knit into a Beach Street Park sweater. I had some trouble getting the color right in the photo… Continue reading In Progress
First WIP
Over the weekend, my daughter asked if I would show her how to knit. We have been reading Annie and the Swiss Cheese scarf for months now, and she received a Hello Kitty Scarf Kit for Christmas. Ok, why not? So we sat down and I cast on for her. The first row I knit… Continue reading First WIP
