I have finished knitting Ambah O'Brien's Celadon Shawl! This is a Yarnathon project, part of the Aussie Ambah knit along, and will earn me a number of imaginary points. My yarn is Manos del Uruguay Fino in Inkwell, a Dorothea mini-skein set, and a little bit of Peacock Plume. It's enormous! I love how the… Continue reading Completed Celadon Shawl

Copy of a Copy
It's hat weather! Heading outside this morning for the school bus I welcomed the opportunity to grab a new hat. The yarns and pom are from the Holiday Hat Kit by Three Irish Girls at Eat.Sleep.Knit. Instead of the Winter Cable Hat, I decided to follow the CopyCat C.C. Beanie after I saw a display… Continue reading Copy of a Copy
End of the Quarter
Yet again my blog was set aside. Let's just call it summer slide and move on. The Q3 KAL for the EatSleepKnit Yarnathon required using yarn that was exclusively dyed for the shop. Violet Waffles Hat The Violet Waffles hat pattern is one I have heard mentioned so many times on different podcasts and blogs.… Continue reading End of the Quarter
Clear the Desk Update Shortie Socks
Two projects completed! I rediscovered a pair of socks started last year but never finished for a Yarnathon KAL. One pattern repeat was complete, so I continued on, plain vanilla style, and made them shortie style. There's still a good amount leftover, so I'm thinking that will be another shortie set. My other idea is… Continue reading Clear the Desk Update Shortie Socks
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

Pop! Candy Dots Flash Knit Along
Over the Labor Day weekend, my little family took a road trip to Vermont. I am ever the optimist and promptly over packed my knitting projects: three shawls in progress, a sweater for my daughter in progress, a scarf in progress, a fingerless mitten that needs a mate, and a cowl project. I only worked… Continue reading Pop! Candy Dots Flash Knit Along
Pre-Summer Reboot
It's time to reboot this blog! I have missed posting here. Just looking around, under, and next to my desk there are still piles of yarn and projects. There is no lack for posting material. Let's start with this sock, a Winter Weekend Sock, knit in Knitted Wit Victory DK, "Mama Bear" colorway. Socks are… Continue reading Pre-Summer Reboot
January 18 Yarn Along and A Hexagon
I love unexpected rainbows! I've decided to try a project that may or may not end up being a year-long project. One of the KALs for the Eat.Sleep.Knit yarnathon is the Persian Dreams blanket. I think it is a beautiful pattern, but I really don't know if I have it in me to make the whole… Continue reading January 18 Yarn Along and A Hexagon
The last of 2016 and Looking ahead
Goodbye, 2016. Hello, 2017! I love the idea of starting new. New school year, new calendar year, new project, new office supplies, new planners, it doesn't really matter. Nothing (or very little) has gone wrong and the hope and optimism are exciting. Before I get to 2017, I have to wrap up a few loose… Continue reading The last of 2016 and Looking ahead
