Since I’m still plugging away at Laminaria (only three rows to go before bind off!) and that’s my only current knitting, I decided to show off my scarf. My Mmmmmmmmmalabrigo scarf. The yarn is so yummy it’s unbelievable.
I knit this back in March, but only got around to blocking and photographing it this weekend. Pretty [...]

Done! It still amazes me how quickly a pair of sport weight socks go.
A nice an easy pattern. I added an extra pattern repeat to the leg since I shortened the cuff a bit. Other than that, no mods.
The yarn’s Foot Prints in the colorway Quechua by the Unique Sheep. This was the third shipment [...]

Look at the extremely cute stitch markers I just bought! Aren’t they just adorable?
On Saturday I was browing Ravelry, like I do almost every day, and saw a picture of these stitch markers in someone’s projects (I forget whose, I’m sorry!). They were in a different color. But the picture I saw didn’t have any [...]

Those two bags now contain 1/4 of the blanket. 216 squares. So it’s coming along. But, I’m now almost out of leftover yarn to use for it. So I’ve just wound the yarn I got from the final coffee Sip N Stitch shipment: Footprints in Quechua. I adore the colors. It shall become socks. Spindle [...]

Little bits of stuff have happened since I posted last week.
- It’s August! Yay! This means cooler temps (not that it’s gotten that hot over here anyway), but the cooler temps also mean that I get to break out my handknit sweaters again. Turns out that I don’t have a lot of summer clothing that [...]

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The books are from O; the yarn was bought with gift cards from O’s sister. I got one skein of Austermann Step Duett and eight balls of Sublime Baby Cotton Kapok DK. All of it was on sale too.
The books are awesome. I love them all. I’ve already decided that I [...]

Things at work have been… a bit hectic to say the least. And it’s not even month end, let alone year end! But since we’ve got one person off on holiday and another who is sick, I’ve been given quite a bit of extra work to get through. So when I came home today, seeing [...]

Just hit 54 squares. That’s 1/16th of the amount I need. Still have a long way to go.
But the funny thing is, it just hit me that the amount of leftover sock yarn that I have right now won’t be enough to complete the blanket. So that means I need to knit more socks, right? [...]

Okay, so I’ve decided to start another long term project. Ever since I finished the blanket out of sock yarn for my grandfather (which I still haven’t given to him! It’s sooooooo late it’s not even funny), I’ve wanted one for me. And I want to use up leftover sock yarn again. But I really [...]

I’ve finally managed to write up the pattern, get it test knit and then set it up on Ravelry! Awesome, isn’t it?
I came up with the pattern one day a few years ago while I was doodling around and petting my new yarn. The brown was just so luscious that I had to design something [...]
