Have you ever heard a nearly two-year-old child say, “Gee whiz?” It’s fantastically adorable. I’ve been coaxing Z to say that lately and it makes me smile. Gee whiz, that yarn is really bright. My Kit Camisole has reached the section of linen...

I feel doubly productive when I knit while I’m knitting and learning. I had to attend a two-day training on Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I was able to do a lot of plain stockinette knitting while I listened to the presenter, gaining some...

There are some things you knit that you know you will knit again and again. Kit Camisole might become one of those tops for me. Last year I cast one on in June, after being inspired by Angela’s version, which I loved so much that I made in IDENTICAL yarn. This...

Driftwood Tee, my second TTTKAL project is finished! This was a quick and easy knit. I think I might have done a few too many rows on the eyelets, as I spaced out a bit on the number of rows, but I made the front and back match closely enough that I don’t mind...

I’ve had this yarn sitting around my living room for awhile now. It’s a score from the WEBS anniversary sale. I plan on using it to make a Waterlily soon, since that could also translate into some possible summer work attire. It’s Louet Gems...

I’m halfway through the Driftwood Tee that is my second TTTKAL project. I’m loving working with this Manos Serena fiber. I discovered I was a stitch short when I got to the shoulder shaping bind offs, and I have no idea where it went, but I continued...

This dress has been done since May 7, when I eagerly cast on the Saco Stripes tank. It’s called Cocktail(Dress) by La Maison Rililie. This is the second pattern of hers that I’ve knitted. I also made her BlueSand Cardigan and both patterns were...

I started this project on Monday, as soon as I got my Saco Stripes top sewn together. For my second TTKAL project I’m making a Driftwood Tee, by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark. I’ve been dying to use this Manos Serena yarn (color Boysenberry) for ages now....

My first TTTKAL project is finished! This tank is Saco Stripes by Pam Allen. I used Shibui Linen in Brass and Suit. My row gauge was off a bit, so I ended up having to space out decrease rows to every 8 rows, and I made my stripes 4 rows to give them a bit more...
