My Featherweight Cardigan has arms. The sleeves only took a few days, and I’m on to the last part. I have about three inches of collar to go, then I’ll weave in the ends. Right now I’ve only got this and the tail on the needles. Maybe I should cast...

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the...

Yep, she’s still on the needles. I started this sweater at the tail end of June, and now almost three months later I’m finally getting to the sleeves. This is my second Featherweight. For the first I went with ribbing on the collar, cuffs, and bottom of...

Tiny baby limbs are a great canvas for leftover sock yarns. Even though these are teeny tiny, it still took me a good part of two days to do them in my free time. I think my free time is waning…but I guess that’s to be expected as Z grows. These are an...

A couple of days ago I began to work on Z’s Halloween costume. She will be 3 months exactly on Halloween. A few months ago the idea of a mermaid tail popped into my head, and stuck. I’m making the pattern up as I go along. Yesterday I ripped out the scaled...

This is truly my summer of socks. This is the seventh pair I have worked on for the summer, and there is an eighth on the needles right now, but that pair is super secret for the time being. I feel sort of like a sock junkie since I can’t seem to go very long...

I love this pattern. I love this yarn. The two had to meet or I think my personal universe might have come unhinged. The yarn is Artisan Sock by Hazel Knits in Saffron. The pattern is Damask by Kittman Figueroa. As many people have said on Ravelry, the lace is much...

I’m starting to get some knitting groove back. I placated myself with simple stockinette socks for my brother and the Featherweight Cardigan mindlessness for a couple of days. Then, this gorgeous Saffron yarn in Artisan Sock by Hazel Knits kept bugging me. It...

Oh, if only I had said I was competing in the Ravellenic Games! I started these on July 27th and I finished them this evening around 7 pm. I don’t know when exactly the Olympics ended, but I had to be close to making the timeline on both ends. I didn’t...

I finished these on the 27th of July, two days before the move, and three days before I went into labor. Now that things have calmed slightly, Z is sleeping copiously and I am catching up on some sleep too. I had a second to coax Matt to take pictures for the blog....
