I’m loving this Darlene top in Euroflax Sport. The color is Orchid. My previous summer tops in Euroflax had me using a size 1 needle to get gauge. In this project I’m using a size 2, and it feels so much easier. Knitting from the top down allows for me to...

I had this lovely Euroflax Sport in my stash and knew it was destined to be a top this summer. I stopped myself from making a third Kit Camisole. I’ve made two of them before, and they’re lovely to wear in the summer, but they had their unpleasant moments....

I have finished the Kinton top, but as I lack pictures for it yet, I’m on to talking about the next knitting adventure. This yarn is some Shibui Kavo in the color Brick that I bought on clearance last summer at my LYS. I had five skeins sitting in my stash,...

I started a Kinton Top recently. This one has been in my favorites for quite some time, and it was actually gifted to me last June, so it seems like the time is right for finally making it! It’s by the lovely Jennifer Kelley. So far I’m really enjoying the...

While the weather has been up and down, I’ve been making some hats in the meantime. Since these are the exact same pattern, I thought it best to just stick them in the same post. Both hats are made using the Erie Hat pattern. It’s wonderful, relaxing...

As the temperature flip-flops my knitting interests swiftly change. When it was gorgeously warm a few weeks back I was hanging at my LYS and decided that some of the new Ella Rae Rustic Silk that Cynthia got in stock should become a summer top for me. I had initially...

April has been very weird in Arkansas this year. Last weekend it snowed, though very lightly. That’s pretty unusual for us. The intermittent icy blasts of cold prompted me to finally finish this Pink Memories sweater that I started mid-January. The yarn is Louet...

I was planning to talk about two other knitting projects–the Pink Memories sweater I just finished, or possibly a silk Brandilyn top I started a couple of weeks ago. Neither made the cut as yesterday I felt compelled to cast on a new hat. We were hit with some...

I’ve been very distracted by the appearance of spring and the lovely flowering trees here. I also lost my knitting mojo for a couple of weeks. I’m still working on the large brown sweater I was before (off and on but mostly off) and also these socks for...
