WIP Wednesday - a quick update

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 [...]

WIP Wednesday - Almost done & Re-do

I finished the hem of Flair on Sunday evening, since then I have stalled on the sleeve.   Flair is coming out rather slim, its going to be more cardigan than jacket so I have decided to go with the blue buttons from the post last Wednesday. I am nervous but I seem to [...]

WIP Wednesday - I’m back!

I have been on vacation as you know. I tried to improve my photography skills. With the black volcanic rock of The Big Island and the pale blue of the ocean it proved a challenge. The above photo is one of my best pictures.
I was only there for two weeks. It [...]

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 [...]

WIP Wednesday - went into a Bubble and came out on Thursday

I have been a bit over obsessed with a certain project in my rotation. It refused to let go of my attentions until last night (Wednesday) past midnight. I used every scrap of 5 skeins. Phew. It took a trip to show off at Twisted for my month yarn shop stop. [...]

WIP Wednesday - The one where I try to melt

I started a sleeve yesterday. My goal was to do it top down and attach it to the body since I have [...]

WIP Wednesday - airy

I have been airing out the WIPs by knitting them in the outdoors. All of them have progressed.

I fell in love with this pattern, the Bubble Pullover from Knitting Nature, before I ever bought the book. I was just looking for the right yarn and the right occassion. Now I understand the [...]

WIP Wednesday

I was good this week. I paid attention to all my WIPs but of course got more done on the largest and newest one.

The Firebrick mitten in its smallest size is doing well but I cam getting distracted by shiny knits. I need to get the thumb on by this weekend. My [...]

WIP Wednesday - a bit late

Man o Man has time marched on. I promised you my mojo eater ideas. So here they are:
1. All my projects are boring to me. Too much stockinette stitch and ribbing.

2. The crud came knocking this weekend. The unknown beginnings were messing with me.

3. There is a new knitter in the house. [...]
