I like when I get to a point in a project when I can count a reasonable amount of rows (or inches) until the end. My current sample knit for Plymouth is like that - I have another 10 rows plus an 8" section to finish the knitting on that project. It's auto-pilot knitting and… Continue reading Pushing On, Gaining Speed

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
Blurry blobby bits
This week has been full and on the go. This photo (from my Instagram) sums it up well enough. I've had one kid (on the left) be a bit whiny, but that seems to be improving. He is the epitome of being 2. The other kid (you can see part of her leg on the… Continue reading Blurry blobby bits
Try and Try Again
I'm pretty pleased with my progress on the projects this week, even if one in the picture was a do-over. The brown fuzzy blob is the Cody Cardi (two balls in, I've made it to the 2nd buttonhole) and it continues to be fuzzy. And it sheds. I am a dog lover but my dog… Continue reading Try and Try Again
Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
This week I have been working on the Cody Cardigan, a specially requested HeartCat, a pair of socks, and the Once Upon a Time Sampler. I like having a variety of projects as it stretches my hand muscles in different ways and keeps my attention. I am expecting to get moving on a few other… Continue reading Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
Enjoyable WIPs
Is it fair to show a WIP that is now finished? If you follow me on pretty much any other social media channel, I posted about how I started a hat over the weekend, and couldn't stop working on it! It's done, washed, and is drying now. I hope I will be able to… Continue reading Enjoyable WIPs
Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Here's my pleasant pile of projects and what I'm perusing. I'm on the button-hole band of my Morning Coffee and I've hit a wall (it's all mostly mental). Part one: The buttons are still to be determined! I bought a set at the CT Sheep and Wool this spring, but a) I don't absolutely love… Continue reading Decisions on WIP Wednesday
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
September Starts with Socks
I have two shareable WIPs this week, both are socks, and both are pretty much at the same point in construction. Sock #1 of the DPH pair is ready for a heel turn. Sock #1 of Lorelai's Knee Highs is also ready for a heel turn. I am pretty sure that I will start the… Continue reading September Starts with Socks
Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
We're in the back-to-school-prep-zone this week. Why do I want to start a million new projects (not necessarily knitting or crochet related) when I know there is only so much time in the day? A new school year feels like a fresh start, even if I am not the student anymore. In between party prep,… Continue reading Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
