Needless to say when I announced my focus word this year, I didn’t expect it to be tested so soon. Over a week and a half ago, I was in the shower doing my normal routine of waiting for the dishwasher to finish its cycle, starting the washer, hopping into the shower between the fill [...]

I’ve been scurring around with my head buried in a pattern trying to meet a deadline that arrives Saturday. Thankfully its all done and I’m sighing with relief that I can enjoy my weekend at the beach without four footed creatures without a care.
As predicted, I’ve grown bored with the Wheat-ear pullover now that I’ve [...]

I’ve made steady progress on the wheat-ear pullover. I might have made more progress if I hadn’t left it at a friends house on Saturdays. I have cast on the underarm stitches since this raglan has a snug arm fit. I’ve also finished the cables, so its time to figure out the [...]

This beautiful yarn is my Magnolia Society yarn club September offering. Its a [...]

I also finished a Christmas [...]

Its been a long 2 weeks since I posted last about my WIPs. That week before Thanksgiving, I ran around like a crazy squirrel storing up nuts for the impending doom. Ok well thanksgiving is not doom but great awesomeness with yummy treats. The doom is Black Friday. I really dislike [...]

I’ve been working hard at my design and I’m almost done. YEAH!!!
Mostly the Secret Squirrel Design Project has been worked on, but ….. The cowl was started because I needed something easy for a dinner party. Snow white was started because I was annoyed after frogging 5 days of work on my Secret Squirrel [...]
Last week, I had nothing to on the needles so I skipped. This week, I have many new cast ons and the Ravelympics (scroll down a bit) is just around the corner.
First up the second sock that was cast on this weekend,
CareBears sock has progress to movie knitting length. We will be going [...]
I have been knitting away on one project lately.
I got the body completed on Saturday. Finished the Hip ribbing that needs a very cool button and a good blocking to look better.
I started a sleeve yesterday. My goal was to do it top down and attach it to the body since I have [...]
