Last night I was beginning to catalog my stash on Ravelry. I was taking Fridica’s suggestion and I wanted to get started because I knew it was going to take quite some time.I was deeply into the sock yarns, grabbing them out of my plastic bin, laying them on the...

I finished my fourth pair of socks for Matt. I’d like him to be as spoiled as I am one day and be able to use hand knit socks daily in the colder months because he loves them so much. He says this is the softest pair yet! I made him this pair out of some Opal...

I have begun knitting Delancey in Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK. I chose the colors Vanilla for the main color and Buttercup for the contrasting color. So far I’m liking the colors. I had originally chosen a more pumpkin-orange for the CC, but I waited...

I’m still dreaming of more sweaters. I think I may be becoming a bit of an addict now. I am swatching for the Delancey Cardigan in Sublime Merino DK. I even washed my swatch the way I wash all my other clothes (without drying it), and the yarn looks good as new....

Here is another sweater that I recently rescued from my UFO piles. It’s called the Sky Sweater. I started it in December 2011 after I fell in love with it in the premiere issue of knit.wear. I remember working on it fairly monogamously last winter, but when it...

Holy cats, readers. I am finally finishing a sweater I started in, oh, 2008. Here it is, languishing on the blocking board without a care like it always knew I would come back to it. There were a few issues along the way. First, I had never used moss stitch....

Here is a quick update on another project I’ve had on the needles for awhile. I started these back in November with some Lorna’s Laces Shepard Sock in the Roadside Gerry colorway I’ve had in my stash since at least 2008. The stripes look really good...
