I have a finished object to share and it's not socks, surprise! I have a new sweater! Just in time for the colder weather set to arrive next week, I present the Snow Thank You sweater. I love everything about this sweater. The construction was new to me (sort-of top down with an afterthought neck!) and… Continue reading FO Friday Snow Thank You Sweater

Winter Prep
What is it about warm summer days that have me dreaming about fall knits? In the last week, I completed a bulky yarn cowl and cast on a sweater! I have 3 skeins of Lorna's Laces Cloudgate still hanging out under my desk, leftover from a blanket I knit for my mom last year. Getting… Continue reading Winter Prep
Little Dude Sweater
Big plans At the end of the summer, I had a grand plan to knit sweaters for my nieces, nephew, and kids. This post is all about the Little Dude sweater knit for my nephew. My nephew lives in Thailand but has been visiting for Christmas so yes, knitting a wool sweater was absolutely a good… Continue reading Little Dude Sweater
Mending
I have a sweater with holes... Around Thanksgiving, my uncle (for whom I made the Kidney Pillow), sent me a message asking if I might be able to do some repair work on a sweater of his. The sweater belonged to his dad, my grandfather, and was bought in Ireland years ago. Well, of course,… Continue reading Mending
Major Teal Spring Garden Tee
Camp Loopy, Project #2 is done! This month, the task was to knit something that you spied in "the wild". I have seen the Spring Garden Tee pop up on many Ravelry queues and watched a KAL from afar. Now I have my own. I'm mostly happy with it - these photos are all pre-any-washing… Continue reading Major Teal Spring Garden Tee

As I talked about last time, I have a case of start-itis, and so I started a new project. I offered the book to my daughter to pick out a few things I could… Continue reading WIP Wednesday No Surprises Edition
Another book started and Sweater Opposites
Another week, another book, and unfortunately not because I finished The Secret Place. I would consider picking it up again at some future point, I just couldn't get through it in a week. I had also grabbed Dark Places from the library and I am really glad that I did. I loved Gone Girl and… Continue reading Another book started and Sweater Opposites
AtoZ Challenge N is for
Yarn: A little sparkle is always fun! This is the Navy Zeal colorway of Dream in Color Starry - a nice navy with a touch of silver sparkle. I think I figured this would be nice for a shawl like the Metallurgy Shawl. Pattern: Any pattern by Veronik Avery catches my eye. This sweater, Notre… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge N is for
Happy Friday, Happy Throw

Completing this project also means that I completed all the challenges for Camp Loopy 2014! Did you read about Loopy Academy? I've already signed up and will probably talk more… Continue reading Happy Friday, Happy Throw
Yarn Along June 18
I'm including the books I'm reading with my kids for this week's Yarn Along. My son, like most 2.5 year olds, likes repetition. We've been reading and re-reading the same books over and over and that's ok, but I wanted something different. I introduced him to Where the Wild Things Are this week, one of… Continue reading Yarn Along June 18
