WIPS
I’ve been working on a few things lately, but nothing “big” that has been fancy enough to post about. Like these socks. Remember them? Neither did I, until I started working on my other WIP, which is not an easily-traveling […]
Sweater
FO: Pink-tada
Woohoo! Happy 4th of July, friends in the USA! Today, I celebrated my independence from the neverending Pinctada I’ve been working on! Now that all is said and done, I’m pretty happy with the final product. I’ve found several ways […]
Queued: Connate
My queue is out of control. And yet, I can’t stop myself: This is Connate, by Norah Gaughan. It’s brand-spanking new and absolutely gorgeous! This sweater is kind of sweetly jackety and pretty, with some structure and cool detailing: I […]
Hot right now: Grey Twist Cardi
This cute little cardigan has blown up my friends’ queues lately: It’s the Grey Twist Cardi by Judy Brien, and it’s awesome. According to Ravelry, she’s a new designer, and as far as I’m concerned, a promising addition to the […]
Queued: Abalone
I’m not a big fan of short-sleeved sweaters. I guess I don’t get it. Like vests, it just seems odd to put merino on your torso and leave your extremities open to the elements. If I’m cold in Houston, it’s […]
WIP: Pink-tada
I’m back in the States, and it feels good! Except it’s boiling hot in Houston already. At least I got to wear my handknits in London! In other news, my binge at Loop did give me the material to start […]
FO: Brownstone
I’m super excited to show you guys my latest FO: Andrew’s Brownstone: I don’t have any fancy professional photos yet, but I do have some from our walk around London today. I’m super happy with Sublime’s Organic Merino for this […]
Queued: Fuse
I’m having serious issues with sweaters lately. I see so many I want to knit, and my desire for smaller (easier! faster!) items like socks, shawls, and hats has totally waned. It’s kind of disappointing, actually, because I want to […]
The Sweater Curse
Brownstone is my first sweater for an adult that is Not Myself. It’s not only Not for Me– it’s for Andrew, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say the sweater curse had come to mind a few times since […]
WIP it good
Well, after a short break, I started on Andrew’s Brownstone: It’s not much to look at now, but I’ve already used up two balls of the Sublime Organic merino I got for the project, which is kind of scary. I […]
