Coda has captured my attention for quite a few evenings this week. It’s my SSKAL14 project this year, and it’s delightful to knit. It was smooth sailing through the stockinette. I threw in an extra waist decrease and knit an extra 3/4″ length for my...

In the midst of a few secret and public projects, I forgot about my Linum Tee. I’ve been so excited about fall knits like Coda and a secret sweater project I’ve been working on, that it completely slipped my mind that I have a fabulous lightweight linen...

I love making Pinwheel Blankets for babies. It’s a ton of stockinette in the round, so it requires very little thinking, and I like the idea of round blankets. I used the Happy Feet DK yarn I recently acquired in the colorway lemon-lime sherbet. Since I messed...

I have gotten some yarns recently that I haven’t been on top of getting in my Ravelry stash, so yesterday I was trying to get pics of some of these and catalog them. If you don’t already use Ravelry’s stash page to catalog your yarns it’s an...

I’ve been camping out with some sock knitting lately since I can take socks to work and easily knit them during meetings and trainings. Linum Tee is at a part that requires some attention to the pattern, but I’ve made so many socks that they seem to just...

One of my birthday presents to myself arrived a few days ago. It some Eaden Yarns self-striping sock yarn in the colorway Wendy. These may become some Mystik Spiral Socks since they will have about a 4-row color repeat. I can’t wait to see how this...
