Back in April, I had every intention of blogging. I even felt all cocky that I had a great theme for my next post. While we were watching the Band of Brothers series, I knit on a WWII Watch Cap for Dan. The hat turned out great and the day I finished it was one… Continue reading Picking Up Where I Left Off

Deja Vu
Hey, surprise! This post is not about socks! I'll save that for the next post. I happened to catch an announcement post from the Eat.Sleep.Knit team that they were going to host a Song of the Sea Flash-knit-along. I have the yarn in my stash and the pattern in my library so I'm diving in.… Continue reading Deja Vu
Back At It
When life gets busy, you tend to let some things go. For me, this blog took a backseat while other items needed action. All is well, it's just been a really busy six weeks or so. Do I have anything to show for this time of distraction? Yes! I knit these Laule'a socks in Malabrigo Rios,… Continue reading Back At It
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
WIP Wednesday
This week I have been sticking with my spinning for Spinzilla & Team Louet. Looking at what other team members have already accomplished is a bit intimidating, but I am trying to keep the view that I'm still new at this and the whole point is to have fun. I can see an improvement in… Continue reading WIP Wednesday

I'm going to share the Heartcat I made one more time, because I am so super proud of it and I got possibly the… Continue reading Relief
It Does Not Look Like Much
This week I dug out my Morning Coffee sweater and was very pleased to see that I had maybe half a sleeve to finish on the body. I took care of that over the weekend. The purple blob on the right side of the photo is the collar (mostly knit while catching up on Breaking… Continue reading It Does Not Look Like Much
Teal and Violet
Here's hoping this is the day when things turn around. The new school and work routines are still in progress. My WIPs are somewhat under control (after I wind up a lot more yarn today), and I've been finishing things too! First up is a project for my niece. I saw the pattern for these… Continue reading Teal and Violet
FO Friday – Mitts & a Monster
I am in love with these mitts! This was my first Malabrigo March project, the Nathair Mitts, in Malabrigo Rios, the Solis colorway. The cable was fun to work and though it did require my attention, I was able to work on these while watching TV and at knitting night without any mistakes! The yarn… Continue reading FO Friday – Mitts & a Monster
WIP Wednesday
I have had a lengthy love affair with Malabrigo. I think it was one of the first "nice" yarns I bought myself in my early knitting days. Over the years I have stashed it, admired it, coveted it, and yes, knit with it. Lately though I have just let it simmer in my stash. I… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
