I don’t repeat a lot of knitting patterns, other than for the purpose of testing my own pattern making skills. Usually I quickly become enamored with something else and move on. Most of the time I find it hard to be monogamous to one pattern at a time, but don’t tell that to my drawer [...]

The benefits of being a sock yarn hoarder…and other Saturday rambles.

If you’ve read any amount of blog posts on this site, or know me in real life, it’s not much of a secret that I have a passion for sock yarn. It’s hard for me to believe that not everyone is in love with sock yarn in the same way. Not many other weights of [...]
The stripes I studied.

I finished this Stripe Study Shawl months ago, took pics about a month ago and hated them, so I gave up and just used a dress dummy for the ease of getting it done. Please excuse the lack of facial expressions. I loved making this shawl. The green/yellow yarn shown (my main color) is Wasabi [...]

Dear Readers, Let us welcome spring! I am loving the extra daylight in the evening. It makes me feel like summer (and the inevitable break from school that comes with it) are closer around the corner. I am in sore need of some time off after this semester. Thus far, it has been the most [...]

This has been an intense semester so far. My workload in my PhD program has nearly doubled from last semester. In addition to this, I am 13 weeks pregnant. Thus, the blog upkeep and project posting has been put on the back burner. These fingerless gloves are a little project I knitted up about a [...]
Well, hello 2012.

My year started out in a pretty delightful way. While I was home on New Year’s Eve quite early (due to some massive fatigue), Matt managed to talk me into some hiking on the next day. He woke up energized and excited around 7:30. I was still grumbling and reluctant when he suggested going on [...]
Savoring.

This has been a lovely holiday season so far. I don’t usually like the holidays that much. Most years, I’m stressed out about what presents to give people, clamoring for time to knit things for others and some for myself, and the usual family quibbles. This year, some of that stress was assuaged when my [...]

Did you just say to yourself, “Hey, don’t I need another slouchy hat?” Of course you did. Betwixt is knit from a bulky weight yarn on U.S. size 10 (6mm) needles, making it a relatively (4-6 hr) quick gift for someone else or yourself! The yarn is SMC Tweed Deluxe, but any bulky weight yarn [...]
Larch! Or the blog post where I make a lot of funny faces…

This baby is FINISHED. I started Larch Cardigan by Amy Christoffers last February or March. After setting her aside for numerous other ventures, she is finished. I reknit the collar several times. Lesson to be learned: hey, read the full pattern. Then read it again. Then read it one more time. That collar is totally [...]
Befuddled.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged berroco, cardigan, Larch on December 6, 2011 | 8 Comments »
I consider myself a pretty decent knitter, by no means an expert, but consistently capable of putting out fairly good pieces. I started the Larch Cardigan last February or early March in the final days of winter. Then it got warm and I promptly put it in a drawer in favor of more weather-appropriate pieces. [...]
