It's Done!

My Desert Sun shawl is finally done! I cast on way back in November of last year and had to put it down for awhile, but it’s finally finished. [Details on Ravelry] This shawl tested my patience, but I think the result was worth it. I dropped stitches at least twice on one of the [...]

Le Starfish

In between working on a few deadline projects, I’ve been stealing away a few minutes at a time to work on a new beret for my awesome new bright pink coat I got for Christmas. I had a hard time choosing between Le Slouch and a Trinity stitch beret, but ended up settling with Le [...]

Small Distraction

For Christmas, I had decided at the last minute to make my Stepmom a pair of fetching mitts from some leftover Lanas Puras Melosa from my Urban Wrap. So I started the 1st mitt before traveling home to NJ on Dec 22nd. When I got home, I realized I had misplaced 2 of the needles. [...]

All Dry!

Meret was all dry this morning after spending a night on the radiator. There was no way I wasn’t going to be wearing it today and I was going to make sure it was dry. The office is usually a bit nippy on Monday mornings and when I saw the temperature at 30 degrees, I [...]

Stolen Moments

For the past few weeks, somehow I’ve been free of deadline knitting and have very much welcomed the little moments of knitting something for myself. In between all of the selfish projects, I’ve also completed another Alligator scarf for my sister’s boss to give as a gift. This scarf is really a fun project and [...]

Finished!

The second edition of the Victorian Christmas stocking is finished! After the replacement yarn arrived 1 1/2 weeks ago, I worked tirelessly to try and finish it up before Thanksgiving – with a few weeks to spare! Tomorrow it gets dropped in a mailbox and I will await a very surprised Mom. (I don’t think [...]

Knitting Going On

It’s been awhile, but there has been quite a bit of knitting going on. The only thing I can show you is my progress on the plus size version of Sesame, but I’ve also been working on my submission for Popknits. Popknits will debut in the Fall and will be dedicated to free vintage inspired [...]

Patience

Patience is something I have a lot of apparently. In the last post, I was gushing about how much I love fair isle. Well, it changed a little when I got to chart 2. I managed to push myself last week and finish up 2 repeats. The good news is, I thought I had 5 [...]
