I’m twitterpated. For those that aren’t up on 1942 Disney slang, this basically means falling in love. Here’s an explanation. The object of my affection this case is a whole bunch of turquoise yarn. Remember back at the beginning of fall when I kept...

Still no second mitt here. My stomach is in a few tangles about my dissertation chapters I’m resubmitting tomorrow (or tonight if I hustle). I’m considering this post as a writing warm-up, so it’s allowed. The Latte Baby Coat irked me again last...

That’s a thing, right? I’m struggling to make myself finish the second Wending wrister, but there is still plenty of time before it’s due and it will be quick when I do it. I don’t know if you call them arm warmers, mitts, or wristers. I tend...

I fell in love with some gradient kits from Black Trillium Fibres awhile back, and Matt was sweet enough to give me a couple for our anniversary. I LOVE them. The first is called Shire:Each skein has 127 yards of fingering weight yarn, for a total of 635 yards...

Here is my Hugo progress: I’m a couple of inches into the armhole! This front went so much faster than the sleeves. Maybe it’s a mental thing. I think some of it has to do with the shorter rows on a sleeve interrupting the rhythm of the pattern more often....

I just had to finish Oshima. I was thisclose, you guys. It was gnawing at me. After the endless Hugo sleeves, I just kept looking at my 3.5 inches of knitted Oshima collar and I really really wanted to finish the rest of it. It was all put together with ends woven in,...

Cold weather is upon us, more than I would like. Though today is in the nice mild 50 degree (Fahrenheit) range, tomorrow through the beginning of next week is predicted to be in the single digits, with a winter storm warning as well. Brrrrrrrrr! I hope we don’t...

I thought I would wait and post about these Hugo sleeves when they were finished, but it seems that they will never end, so I’ll go ahead and tell you about them now. They’re pretty straightforward, with a narrower version of the pattern that’s on...
