Progress on Marshal continues. I’ve done many pieces since I first posted about it exactly a month ago. I started with the sleeves, then moved to the back, then the left front. The pattern suggests blocking the left front before moving on to the right front to...

Hey, I made more kiddo socks. These are two different pairs for kids that have fall birthdays, Levi and Charles. These are made with leftover Bittersweet Woolery Glamor Gams in Iceling for the lighter color, and some leftover Schoppel-Wolle in black. They are super...

Last week I was at my LYS and I saw this some Kelbourne Woolens Scout in the most gorgeous color (Mint Heather). I fell in love instantly and knew I had to make a sweater with it. This is my first time working with Scout and it is an immense pleasure so far. This is a...

So far this sweater is going better than expected. Despite feeling like it was never growing in length, it eventually did get to the 15.5 inches and I moved on to the armhole shaping. Then things went much more quickly with the body. This sweater is Docklight and...

Ok, so this sweater is not actually shrinking. It just feels like it. This is Docklight and it’s a gloriously beautiful pattern from Brooklyn Tweed. However, the fisherman’s rib just will not grow. I don’t think I’m giving a trade secret away...

In the midst of working on other projects, I started feeling like I needed one more stockinette thing going. Previously, Zooey had gone through a phase where she did not appreciate the hand knit socks I cranked out for her. Now she seems to have turned a corner and...
