Thanks to a quick kid-free getaway at the start of the month, I made a lot of progress on the socks in my last post. And now they are all finished! Finished Socks for the Family I used the Breamish pattern for each of the kids, with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel, and they are… Continue reading For the Love of Socks

Cowl Catch-Up
I have two new finished objects to share! Like many knitters, I can appreciate a good scarf, but I really adore cowls. Long or short, they seem to sit just right and I feel like you can wear them more (indoors as well as out). I finally finished my "Infinite Blurple Cowl" that I started… Continue reading Cowl Catch-Up
Tiny Stitches
This week I picked up Stitches, by Anne Lamott. I was first introduced to her writing freshman year of college with Bird by Bird, a book that I think of often and really should reread. (I think it was a social justice class. I also read Amazing Grace in that class which was phenomenal.) I… Continue reading Tiny Stitches
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
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
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
Stripes and blobs
My weekly pile of projects! It's relatively small this week, as the bulk of my time was spent on my 30 Day Sweater Challenge (and then, ripping it out). I worked on the dinosaur tummy panel during a meeting, and his tail was started during a car ride. The stripey socks have the heel flaps… Continue reading Stripes and blobs
FO Friday: Stripe Study
as I am so very excited that I finished my Stripe Study shawl. The first mini-collage was right after I cast off. This was my second project as part of Camp Loopy with The Loopy Ewe. The pattern is so straight forward and perfect for tv-knitting, if you do that sort of thing. This was… Continue reading FO Friday: Stripe Study
WIP & Yarn Along
How are you holding up in the heat? I am thankful to have the air conditioner on, but I do wish it wasn't running full all the time. I hate to sweat, so I'm a bit more crabby lately. Last week (or maybe the week before) I tried a "Homemade Slushee" recipe I found on… Continue reading WIP & Yarn Along
Braids and Cakes and Stripes
A gentle reminder - there are a few more days until I draw a winner of the So Pretty! Crochet book! Leave your comment on that post for a chance to win! I am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that we just had the last weekend of… Continue reading Braids and Cakes and Stripes
